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.

Manage effectively

Run the right team

To have the greatest chance of success, an innovation team must be built and run the right way. 

You already have most of what you need. Ideas. Industry knowledge. Understanding of the customer. What’s missing?

- SOMEONE ONCE SAID

We feel the best way to teach is by working on a project together. In our workshops and through our managed services, we demonstrate ideation, teamsmanship, lean product management and the effective use of team-enabling technology. All the skills your team needs to start a new line of business.

Project Mangament

Keeping your team in sync and moving quickly requires cloud-based tools. Use the best.

Collaboration

The technology to enable remote teams can get complicated. Keep it simple.

Knowledge-building

Recording 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.
