GDR will help your business innovate and succeed in a competitive marketplace.

I don’t have time

GDR’s workshops can be as short as an afternoon yet allow participants to break free from their usual thinking processes. With the outcome being consensus and concrete action steps, it is time well spent.

All our ideas seem predictable

We use a wide, cross-category perspective to reframe familiar problems. GDR inspires you to think differently with the latest and best creativity, new connections and the unexpected.

I want my teams to rediscover their enthusiasm

GDR’s presentations bring multiple markets and cross-functional teams together. Our content is relevant, yet surprising, opening up possibilities and potential. Attendees leave inspired to start new projects and elevate existing plans.

My team just focuses on our competitors

GDR’s digital platform removes the blinkers and shows you relevant innovations outside of your immediate industry. Seeing your customer in a broader context will help to identify what’s missing from your current strategy.

I want staff to think like consumers, not executives

Our field expeditions give you real-world insights. Role-play and exercises put your team in your customer’s shoes. By experiencing shopper behaviours themselves, they appreciate what really motivates consumers to buy.

The content is always fresh and new. More importantly, it is curated towards our strategies and GDR's enthusiasm is infectious.”
