Incubate

Strategy can only take you so far..

 

The right strategy needs to be tested, it needs to be explored, refined and effectively incubated.  We use agile and design-led approaches to take good strategy work, refine it and help it develop into commercial opportunities.

We use a range of techniques ranging from short design sprints, workshops and hackathons through to sustaining programs of capability uplift, accelerator programs and formal Innovation Lab programs.

Design Sprints

Leveraging our Innovation360 and Innovation Hub tools, we run for our clients 1, 2 or 3 day design sprint programs, to enable our clients to understand the opportunities and challenges they face and to create real world solutions for further commercialisation.

Hack Challenges

We work closely with our partners to frame up a suitable challenge and can run 1 day or 2 day Hackathon challenges combining in house with external participants. We do not run Innovation Theatre sports, or create solutions that could best be described as being ‘Tinder for cats’

Innovation Labs

Leveraging our Innovation360 and Innovation Hub tools, we run for our clients 1, 2 or 3 day design sprint programs, to enable our clients to understand the opportunities and challenges they face and to create real world solutions for further commercialisation.

Is your organization lost in Innovation Theatre?

Is your innovation agenda going somewhere?

Identifying

We help organizations identifify the right problems to be solving, Framing these problems and understanding the potential benefits of solving them. We also help identify and manage the partners and expertise needed to fill the missing gaps between a great problem and a successful product launch.

Coaching

We work with your people, and through formal and informal uplift and mentoring programs build the necessary skills for sustaining innovation and culture change to succeed. We believe we earn the right to continue to work with our clients by removing any dependencies on us and enabling our clients to be self-sufficient and able to continue to innovate as the new normal, outside of the lab, garage or incubator program we may help establish.

Collaborating

We help cut across silos within organizations and within market spaces. We see opportunities to leverage expertise, connect people, find paths to promote joint ventures and win-win dynamics. Collaboration is central to successful innovation and we are extensively use tools like the InnovationHub to promote effective and structured innovation around high value problems worth solving.

Is this your enterprise?

  • My organization doesn’t seem to be getting past “Innovation Theatre”. Nothing seems to be getting out of the lab!

  • My organization is spending loads of money on which has a brilliant new method for Design Thinking that everyone loves and love the stuffed toys they give out, but it never seems to go much further than this..!

  • We have just re-ordered sticky notes for the 3rd time this month and I feel like there has to be another way to deliver innovation!

  • My organization just built Tinder for Cats, or was it Uber for Goats? But I feel like they are solving the wrong problems!
