What is innovation?
For enterprises and startups, innovation means successfully bringing new products or services to market — build the new product, find customers, keep them happy, and realize new and sustainable revenue.
The Myth of Creativity
When innovation teams fail, it is usually not due to a lack of creativity or problem-solving skills. Failure is more often due to any number of minor pitfalls such as miscommunication, misunderstandings, inadequate planning, poor market timing, lack of customer understanding, or poor quality control.
We believe that the pitfalls that foil most innovative efforts can be avoided through effective teamsmanship. The complex processes involved in product innovation can only be managed effectively by a team that is well-built and fully enabled.

Knowledge-buildingRecording decisions, action items, product specs, documentation and marketing material can be messy. Keep it organized.

Non-invasive process & technology
Teams require some structure and process to facilitate shared decision making and execution. And they require some amount technology to communicate and collaborate. Sadly, the combination of poor process and complex or inadequate technology can threaten any project.
We prefer a minimalist approach to our team-enabling infrastructure. The goal is for process and technology to be transparent, so that teams can communicate, build knowledge and work toward the common goal.
We use a simple set of tools that provide structure and documentation for task management, knowledge base and meeting management. We provide the tools, set them up, and teach your team during the process of a project.
