Co-create innovative solutions

Innovation is a team sport. Exploring virgin territory. Creating new value together. Count on us to design and guide your innovation journey, with a focus on results and people.

What is innovation (not)?

Innovation is no longer just a matter of R&D people in white coats in the basement of your building. Innovative solutions can come from anywhere if you provide your employees with guidance. And it’s essential for the future of your organization.

Innovation is also not a linear process but rather one of trial-and-error navigating unexplored territory. Teamwork, empathy, creativity and experimentation are keys to success.

Employee-driven innovation

Do you want to stimulate innovation in your organization? Pool your collective intelligence to take steps forward together? Let your people experience innovation so that they can apply their learnings in their daily work as well? Then you may sense that this requires a different mindset and approach than you are used to.

Count on us for the design and guidance of a structured innovation track with a focus on value creation as well as learning.

Whether it’s through a design sprint, an innovation bootcamp or some other format, the following steps will usually take place:

With the sponsor, we establish a clear scope for your challenge.

We bring together the right mix of people.

We map the stakeholders, their needs and journeys.

We identify and validate improvement possibilities and opportunities.

We generate creative ideas and solutions.

We validate the chosen solution(s) through prototyping and testing.

The results of your innovation journey?

Decrease the risk of failure

Many innovations fail because they do not solve a problem or need. Products, services or experiences are developed that do not add value to the target audience. Instead, we facilitate fast validation of the problem and solution in order to bring certainty before you invest too much time and money.

Increase engagement and support

By getting the right people to work on your innovation project right away, you will create engagement in your organization and harvest additional valuable input. Additionally, participants are more supportive of solutions they themselves create, reducing resistance to change.

Embed innovation and creativity in your corporate culture

Your people get the mindset, skills and tools of real innovators and learn to navigate the innovation labyrinth while doing so. Questioning assumptions, testing early and often with customers, coming up with creative solutions, experimenting: step by step, new energy and inspiration is released in your organization, even when we have long since left.
Innovation has nothing to do with how many R&D dollars you have. When Apple came up with the Mac, IBM was spending at least 100 times more on R&D. It’s not about money. It’s about the people you have, how you’re led, and how much you get it.”

Two reasons customers choose us:

Result and people

We focus not only on the process and the result, but also – intuitively – on the human aspect: the expectations and needs of the people in your team, group dynamics and psychological safety. The reason is simple: when everyone can be themselves, creative ideas bubble up naturally.

A backpack full of tools

Design Thinking, Service Design, Gamestorming, Lean Startup, Agile/Scrum, Deep Democracy, Nonviolent Communication, Integral and Solution-Focused coaching, Applied Improvisation, etc.: we sense what your people need and draw from this during sessions. No two journeys are ever the same.
