Stop Thinking Outside the Box.

Start Experimenting In and Out of It.

with Jimbo Clark 

We tell people to “think outside the box,” but very few people stop to ask what the box actually is—or how people move beyond it in practice.

ATD Austin is partnering with Jimbo Clark, creator of the BX, to bring our community a highly interactive, small-group learning experience. Participants will use the BX methodology to make invisible assumptions visible, experiment with different ways of thinking, and design practical experiments they can immediately apply in their work.

This experience is limited to just 10 participants. The small group is intentional, creating space for hands-on experimentation, conversation, reflection, and individual participation.

Participants will learn how to:

  • Make hidden assumptions visible so they can be discussed instead of defended.
  • Use simple experiments—not perfect plans—to reduce resistance and accelerate change.
  • Help individuals and teams create lasting behavior change through structured reflection and action.

This isn't a traditional presentation. It's a hands-on learning experience.

Participants will:

  • Complete a series of guided BX experiments using the physical BX model.
  • Work individually, in pairs, and in small groups to compare perspectives and challenge assumptions.
  • Experience structured reflection, facilitated dialogue, visual thinking, and collaborative problem solving.
  • Design and share a real-world experiment they can implement immediately after the session.

Throughout the workshop, participants continuously apply each concept to their own work, allowing them to leave with practical insights and a concrete next step rather than simply new ideas.
