Discover the massive impact that creative thinking can have on your organization by participating in one of Duncan Wardle’s acclaimed Innovation Masterclass Workshops.
With the level of disruption in the marketplace it is now “disrupt or die” for many legacy brands. Everyone wants innovation but no one has made it tangible–until now.
Leaning on experience with thousands of companies including Pepsi, NBA, Apple & P&G as well as 25+ years with Disney – most recently as Head of innovation and Creativity, – Duncan Wardle founded iD8 in order to help companies embed innovation into everyone’s DNA. He has created the Think Different Masterclass Workshop to make creativity tangible, innovation easy and the process fun.
Throughout the two-day Think Different Masterclass, attendees will learn a unique set of Innovation Tools and Techniques – the same ones Duncan used with teams inside the Disney organization. These include the breakthrough “What If” creative thinking tool, made famous by Walt Disney himself, who used it to pivot his company from simply an animation house to an entertainment and theme park empire.
After this immersive course, your organization’s ability to mine for creativity and innovation will be drastically improved. In the end, your audience will leave with actionable steps they can take to immediately start reshaping your company’s culture, creating a space where innovation thrives, and where teams are encouraged and rewarded when they Think Different!
Well, Duncan Wardle had the same thought back when he was leading the Disney innovation and creativity team. So, he figured out a way to do just that, turning himself into a “customer mind reader.”
And now, through the Insights for Innovation Masterclass Workshop, Duncan trains teams across the globe to do just the same.
The Insights for Innovation workshop is all about uncovering consumer truth.
Duncan will show your team how to fine-tune their mind reading skills and understand exactly what is going on inside your customers’ heads.
After several interactive sessions, you will have the tools you need to absorb and clarify insights, and develop actionable steps based on what you learn through interacting with your customers.
More than just surface level listening, your team will master the ability to find customer clues, make informed hypotheses, and create innovative solutions focused on what your customer really wants and needs.
The result? A workforce that is practically reading your customers’ minds and giving your business an incredible competitive advantage in the process!

Through an entertaining, interactive workshop, team members will learn about each of the 4 stages of creative problem solving: Initiate, Investigate, Ideate, Activate.
In the end, your team will think, laugh, share and learn. You will all walk away with a new skillset and toolkit that will greatly increase your ability to innovate, and more importantly, you will be energized and ready to start tackling these creative problems for your business today!

Duncan helps companies solve specific challenges, creating custom-designed consulting sessions that help organizations think different and develop game-changing ideas.
Did you know that Walt Disney developed the idea for Disneyland during a deliberate creative problem-solving exercise, where he was trying to find ways in which he could have more control over how guests experienced his films? Or that prolific inventor Thomas Edison, knowing that his best ideas came in his sleep, developed a method to deliberately wake himself immediately after dozing off, so that he could write down whatever ideas he had in his dazed state of mind?
Though creativity and innovation can feel very natural, they are most commonly the product of very specific situations and environments. And these environments are something you can absolutely be engineered to promote ideation in all individuals.
Innovation Consultant Duncan Wardle knows a thing or two about engineering innovation.
After spending 25 years in leadership roles at The Walt Disney Company – including time as their Head of Innovation and Creativity – Duncan has trained over 1 million individuals and organizations across the globe on how to create these cognitive environments where innovation thrives. Let Duncan teach you to develop a culture of creativity and empower everyone in your organization to leverage their full creative potential.
Have a unique challenge to solve? Duncan will custom-build a session utilizing iD8 Thinking Methods to help individuals and companies think different and develop game-changing ideas that are deeply embedded in consumer insights.
Once Duncan trains your team to step outside their own “River of Thinking” (their own expertise) and to use a series of Innovation Tools and Creative Behaviors to develop “Moonshot Thinking,” you will understand how to strategically and repeatedly create the best environment for innovation within your business.
The result? Your business develops a massive competitive advantage.
In this time of fast-paced disruption, the companies that succeed are the ones that can reinvent themselves and anticipate the changing needs of their customer. The ones that stay ahead of the curve, are consistently creatively solving problems, promoting ideation, and consistently innovating.
Through Duncan Wardle’s creative consulting services, your team will be given the tools, skills, and roadmap for driving successful innovation and problem solving for years to come.
