The Quantum Leap: One-Day Urban Retreat for Leaders in Industry 5.0

THE QUANTUM LEAP A One-Day Urban Retreat & Trail for Industry 5.0 leaders Shoreditch Treehouse, London · 3 September 2026

Analogue minds, running exponential problems. That's the misfire.

The Quantum Leap is a one-day urban retreat and 30-day Mind Nudging Trail for leaders who can feel the engine of their organisation misfiring, and who are ready to do something about it.

Every senior team is being asked to navigate a level of complexity their cognitive habits were never designed for. AI is landing inside the organisation, generations are colliding, trust is eroding, and the window to get the next decision right keeps getting narrower. The bottleneck is no longer your technology. It is how your people think together.

Join us inside the Shoreditch Treehouse to ask the most expensive question today's leaders face. Rewire, or replace?

WHAT YOU WILL EXPERIENCE

The day is built on the four-stroke leadership cycle so leaders and their people can fire on all cylinders: SUCK, SQUEEZE, BANG and BLOW. Every cylinder has to fire in sequence, or the engine stalls.

Each stroke is delivered as an immersive, playful and experiential activity designed using our EPIC design process and grounded in the neuroscience of play. Play activates dopamine, lowers the cognitive defences that block real change, and accelerates the formation of new neural pathways. Even the most serious work of the day arrives through play.

🔹 SUCK · The Energy Dashboard A playful diagnostic experience mapping the energy moving through your team using the Dynamic Energy Index.

🔹 SQUEEZE · The Agora Live BUILD A collective intelligence workshop running a real challenge through the seven-stage Agora method, with one radical rule: no debate, only BUILD.

🔹 BANG · Take the Shot A high-stakes decision arena where you convert the morning's thinking into a real decision you will carry out of the room.

🔹 BLOW · Clearing the Chamber A collective closing ritual where you decide what you stop, what you release, and which new rhythm you take into the 30 days that follow.

WHAT YOU CARRY FORWARD

The Quantum Leap is not a workshop you attend and forget. Every place includes the full 30-day Firing On All Cylinders Mind Nudging Trail on the Thinking 5.0 platform, so the spark from the day becomes a rhythm that embeds in the flow of your work.

You will leave with:

• A new way of seeing your organisation, with the misfires that drain its energy made finally visible
• A real decision moved forward inside the Agora alongside peers
• A rewired thinking rhythm embedded over 30 days, in the flow of work
• A shared vocabulary for energy, state, courage and recovery that travels straight back to your team
• The four-stroke cycle as a personal operating system, not a slide deck
• A genuine cohort of leaders walking the same leap, alongside you
• One thing you will stop doing on Monday morning, and one thing you will start

WHO THIS IS FOR

Looking to pioneer the future of work in Industry 5.0? The Quantum Leap is an open-cohort experience designed for leaders, HR, transformation and learning professionals ready to drive human-centric, tech-driven change.

It is built for CEOs and Managing Directors, CHROs and HR or L&D Directors, transformation and OD leaders, independent facilitators exploring the Thinking 5.0 methodology, senior public sector leaders, and investors curious about a category-creation play at the intersection of leadership development and collective intelligence.

YOUR FACILITATORS

The day is co-delivered by Courtney Richards, Master Facilitator at Beyond Expectations and the practitioner behind Firing On All Cylinders, alongside Fi Hills, founder of Thinking 5.0 Studio and architect of the methodology behind the platform.

Both bring twenty-five years of work with senior leadership teams, and together they hold the engine-room view and the systems view of how the whole experience fits together.

Socrates AI runs alongside as a funky and unique thinking partner, surfacing better questions in real time and feeding personalised reflection back to every participant. It is not there to give you answers. It is there to sharpen the ones you reach.

THE VENUE

The Shoreditch Treehouse sits high above the city in a converted warehouse loft, with exposed beams, brick walls, hanging plants, fairy lights and floods of natural light. The room matters because the room is the experience. You cannot do real cognitive work under fluorescent strip lighting in a beige conference room, and we don't ask you to.
