What it is:

Funnel Thinking is a training discipline offered through the Institute for Social Design’s Succeducation program. This discipline is one of several components of Succescipline theory.

Overview:

Funnel thinking is based on the theory that we currently lack a universally recognized way of organizing our thinking and, as such, we can become disorganized, unproductive and overwhelmed.

It provides foundational insights, theories and tools that are required for greater ‘Thinkability’.

Funnel Thinking combines thinking and behavior insights with organization and decision making skills to help individuals, teams and organizations advance in more positive, productive, organized and accelerated ways.
