Kakushin Institute

Introduction to Kakushin

Kakushin is about the work you do as a leader to cul­ti­vate envi­ron­ments for cre­ativ­ity and inno­va­tion in order to pro­duce results that go beyond pre­dictable. It is a sys­tem designed to expand the field of play by think­ing dif­fer­ently about the dom­i­nant view of what is pos­si­ble and for cre­at­ing envi­ron­ments for achiev­ing peak per­for­mance. Kakushin Insti­tute pro­vides lead­ers and orga­ni­za­tions with a sys­tem for achiev­ing peak per­for­mance. The method­ol­ogy con­sists of the PDDIO (Preparation-Discovery-Developent-Implementation-Outcomes) Process. It is designed to help you select the right focus, con­nect with col­leagues, and to cre­ate a safe envi­ron­ment to take risks and expand the field of play. Kakushin helps you to learn, develop and grow through your spe­cific busi­ness chal­lenges and to cre­ate “Bounce” with the acknowl­edg­ment of achieve­ments. The foun­da­tion of this sys­tem is derived from the research of lumi­nar­ies such as: K. Anders Eric­s­son (Delib­er­ate Prac­tice) and his stud­ies of what makes great per­for­mance; Ed Hal­low­ell and his work with brain sci­ence to help us under­stand how to excel; Ken Robin­son and his work on cre­ativ­ity and edu­ca­tion; Clay­ton Chris­tensen and his work on dis­rup­tive inno­va­tion; Mel Toomey and his teach­ings from the Cen­ter of Lead­er­ship Stud­ies; and from years of prac­ti­cal appli­ca­tion in the cor­po­rate world.
