8. What is a Pioneer Thinking™Programme?
Pioneer Thinking™ is a programme focused on helping your
organisation to discover new creative solutions to future business
growth and profit leading to long term behavioural and cultural
changes.
Incorporating well founded team thinking and business models the
programme is based on a series of consultative meetings designed to
identify and harness the ‘thinking power’ within the organisation. We
then work with this ‘thinking power’ to challenge your current
thinking, propositions and operations.

team then help and support you to create a new set of strategic
outcomes along with a project journey map and action framework
designed to implement the new solutions. This is achieved via a
series of focused workshops.
