12-Seat Thinking
Your Experience Starts Here
You’re all set for 12-Seat thinking.
Here’s everything you need to get the most from the day.
Quick Details
TIME
We will begin at 09:30 with coffee and a chance to walk the grounds, giving you space to arrive, reset, and start thinking differently before we begin at 10:00.
We will close the day by 16:30.
LOCATION
GETTING HERE
- If you use the postcode, some SatNavs may try to take you down Brook Road (opposite the Old Bull’s Head pub). Please don’t go this way — it’s a gated road with no vehicle access.
- Instead, search for Go M.A.D. Thinking, off Breakback Road. The entrance to the farm track is opposite Deans Lane.
This isn’t a typical day
Leaders aren’t short of strategy.
What’s missing is the time and space to step back, think clearly, and focus on what will actually move things forward.
Because the reality is this:
Most strategies don’t fail because they’re wrong.
They fail because they’re not executed effectively.
This day brings together a carefully selected group of senior leaders – people who are actively responsible for delivering results – so the conversations are relevant, honest, and valuable.
So if this day gives you fresh perspective, sparks new connections to solve real challenges, and helps you move forward with greater clarity, then it’s done its job.
Prepare for impact
STEP 1. BRING SOMETHING REAL
To make the time as useful and practical as possible, it would be helpful to come with 2–3 areas where making progress would create a noticeable difference over the next 60–90 days. The attached reflection document is designed to support your thinking beforehand and help you identify where the greatest value could be created.
These areas might include:
- A strategic priority that needs more pace, clarity, or traction.
- An operational challenge that keeps resurfacing or is proving difficult to shift.
- A personal development area where greater confidence, focus or impact would make a difference.
The aim is not to arrive with everything fully worked out, but to bring real opportunities, challenges or ambitions that matter to you, so the session can help turn thinking into practical next steps. We will use these to connect you with a small group of peers who can challenge, support, and expand your thinking.
The day is designed to be active and practical, moving beyond discussion into clearer thinking, better decisions, and tangible next steps.
STEP 2. SET YOURSELF UP
You’ll get access to ThinkOn® — your on-demand thinking partner.
Use it to:
- Explore ideas
- Ask better questions
- Keep momentum after the day
Once you are in the app, we would suggest completing the short learning module: Thinking Effectiveness Model. This will give you a helpful introduction to how we think about the link between thinking, action, and results.
Get started:

STEP 3. DISCOVER MORE ABOUT THE GO M.A.D. RESULTS FRAMEWORK
Before you arrive, it’s worth understanding the thinking that underpins everything we do.
In this short TEDx Talk, Andy Gilbert introduces the Seven Key Principles that help leaders and teams move from intention to results.
You don’t need to memorise anything.
Just watch it once — and notice what resonates.
