Overview
OVERVIEW
In today’s environment of rapid change, senior leaders are tasked not just with managing complexity—but with leading transformation.
This 3-day masterclass equips executives with The Curiosity Compass, a battle-tested framework developed by Fenton Jagdeo to unlock innovation, navigate uncertainty, and build strategic clarity.
Grounded in real-world insights from Fenton’s work with Fortune 500 companies, public sector organizations, and multi-billion-dollar initiatives like NEOM, this workshop is designed to move leaders from reaction to intention.
Objectives
Participants will leave the masterclass able to:
1. Identify blind spots and rethink systems using the Curiosity Compass model
2. Lead innovation with clarity by spotting weak signals and hidden opportunities
3. Use scenario planning and reverse benchmarking to challenge assumptions
4. Move from large-scale disruption to small, bold, repeatable action
5. Build cultures of micro-innovation and strategic foresight
