Introducing Unbounded Thinking's Innovation Process

In the race to stay competitive, many organizations face significant risks: high talent turnover from "figure it out yourself" cultures and wasted resources on manual work that should be automated. At Unbounded Thinking, we believe innovation isn't a "lightning bolt" of luck—it is a sustainable capability.

On April 24th, join Edmonton’s innovators to move beyond "random sprints" and transform disconnected brainstorming into a rigorous organizational science. We are pulling back the curtain on Unbounded's Human-Centered Innovation Management (HCIM) framework. This systemized approach aligns with new ISO 56001: Innovation Management standards, integrating Systems Thinking; Innovation Management; Behavioral Economics; Change Management; and Strategic Foresight into a single, actionable journey.

Welcome to the Unbounded Thinking Workshop Experience. Powered by the Kwokka by UBT digital Innovation paltform.

April 24, 2026 | 12:00 PM – 2:00 PM ATB, Edmonton

This is a high-energy, tactical environment designed for the "brightest operators" in Edmonton to solve the questions that don't have simple answers. We are trading "innovation theatre" fora specific rhythm used to nurture unbounded thoughts into high-impact reality within the Kwokka by UBT digital ecosystem.

In this intensive session, participants will apply the One-Page Roadmap to a real-world challenge, moving from complexity to a testable hypothesis.

Phase 1: The Setup — Redefining Innovation

Liberate the mind from conventional constraints. We’ll use the Cynefin Framework to identify why this process is built specifically for "Complex" and "Chaotic" problems rather than simple, linear tasks.

Phase 2: Qualify & Clarify — The Foundation

Qualify: Establish strategic fit. Use the Value Calculator to find your North Star metric (Time, Money, or Impact) and assess organizational readiness.

Clarify: Peel back the layers. Identify the Champions and Resistors of your idea and reframe the root cause into a human-centered "How Might We...?" question.

Phase 3: Ideate — Unbounded Ideation

Ideate: Remove the ceiling. Replace standard brainstorming with the UNBOUNDED Method. Use rapid-fire ideation cards (Negate Assumptions, Break Boundaries) to generate moonshot solutions. Categorize your top idea: Is it Core, Adjacent, or Breakthrough?

Phase 4: Explore — Testing the Possible

Explore: Discovery through practical action. Write your test hypothesis using the XYZ Formula. Design a "2hr/$20 Test" to prove the concept within one week and identify what outdated process you will "Sunset" to ensure the new solution sticks.

Phase 5: Wrap Up & Action

The "48-Hour Loop": How to fix friction points immediately after launch and maintain an iterative mindset.

• Sprints vs. HCIM: Understand the difference between one-off problem solving and a permanent innovation management system.
• The Digital Pouch: Use the Kwokka by UBT platform to capture, organize, and mature abstract thoughts.
• Hypothesis Mastery: Transition from "guessing" to the XYZ Formula.
• Sustainable Change: Learn the art of "Sunsetting"—identifying what outdated processes to K*ll so that new innovations actually stick.
• The 48-Hour Loop: Identify and fix friction points immediately after a launch.

Designed for those navigating the "gravity" of leadership in complex environments:

• Transformation & Digital Leaders: Bridging the gap between technical potential and executive risk appetite.
• Corporate Innovation Practitioners: Moving beyond "sticky note" culture to secure long-term strategic ROI.
• Operations Specialists: Focused on scaling efficiencies without breaking the core business.
