Corkscrew Thinking: Add 30 IQ points, in 90 minutes.

Want to learn the obscure thinking technique that Winston Churchill used to help win World War ONE?

That’s not a typo ... he called it “Corkscrew Thinking”.

The world’s #1 management thinker, Roger L Martin, calls it "Integrative Thinking" and says it is the ONE skill that differentiates the most successful leaders from the masses.

Eli Goldratt, the genius who created the Theory Of Constraints (ToC) said it was this thinking tool - which he called "evaporating clouds" - rather than his raw intelligence that enabled him to solve the gnarliest of problems, and create startlingly simple solutions, while other equally clever people remained stumped.

You can learn it in just over an hour.

It’s far easier than you might imagine.

It’s just that no one has taught you how, yet.

Clarke wrote The Bottleneck Rules (which was, just for a few days, the second best selling leadership book on amazon.com, and has been featured in The Guardian and The Spectstor) and Rolling Rocks Downhill. He has been powered by ToC since the 1990s and Agile since 2003. He used to run AgileScotland.
