Introducing Blitz
Blitz is the practical application of Speed Thinking. This breakthrough tool designed (by me) will help any group and team to be more productive, creative and engaged.
A Blitz is:
- 15 minutes or less
- Involves 6 people or less
- Focuses on 1 challenge only
- Can be called by anyone (ie. The Blitz Leader)
- Follows a semi-structured, 4-step process
- The Blitz Leader is still accountable for the challenge
In a time-poor world where individuals, teams and groups have to produce ‘more and more’ with ‘less and less’, new approaches and tools have to be used. Blitz is one such tool.
Organisations that have piloted or tested Blitz include TNT, Roche, Hilton & Qantas.
“Blitz allows everyone in the team to contribute and be part of the process, creating better solutions with more ownership.”
Bruce Coyne, ICS Director, TNT
Quantifiable benefits of Blitz include:
- Time spent in meetings decreases
- Decisions are quicker

- Analysis-paralysis declines
- More original ideas and solutions are developed
Qualitative benefits of Blitz include:
- The identification of new talent, particularly Generation Y
- Highly energising

Future plans:
We are working on Digital Blitz to launch in 2012.
Next Steps:
If you are interested in piloting Blitz in your organisation please contact me – I would love to show you.
Blitz is more than a training program. It is a new, more effective and enjoyable way to work and study.
“Blitz is another tool in your back-pocket which can help you to generate ideas & solutions quickly and engage your team.”
