Education & Training

Innovation runs on people. The obvious place to start is with educating and training all of your people in the best experiential entrepreneurial innovation methodologies available. If you expect sustained change and improved outcomes, you should start training everybody - not just a select few.

And you don't have to take our word for it. MIT Sloan Management Review published a research report explaining why learning is central to sustained innovation, emphatically stating:

"Many managers think they can create better products just by improving the development process or adding new tools. But it's skilled people, not processes, that create great products."

Real innovation only happens through actions, not talking, so this training also includes the experiences of going through the real world challenges of bringing a new innovation to market, pushing people to get outside of the office and outside of their comfort zone, interviewing customers and users in the real market, discovering that many of their assumptions about their innovation ideas are wrong - and learning that this is normal and what to do about it.

We help people in organisations, startup support programs, and medium to large sized enterprises successfully prepare for tomorrow today, enabling them to move beyond the idea stage and navigate and master innovation and moving novel business opportunities forward in an environment of extreme uncertainty by upskilling your workforce through our Masterclasses, experiential Support Programs, and mentoring & coaching.

Development & Digitalisation

For many companies and organisations, it can be hard to create the first versions of an actual new product; The required capacity is not available, may already be reserved to - or even in competition with - the "core business".

Maybe the required skillset even doesn’t exist internally yet. Sometimes doing it internally also takes too long, involves too many departments, too many decision makers, too many levels of red tape.

Other times, the potential liability of building and testing something entirely new can be too risky to commit to internally; By outsourcing it to us, you get all the credit when it succeeds - and if it fails in this test phase, there will be no trace leading back to you, no detrimental consequences to brands or careers.

What sets us apart from most companies in our domain is that we are first and foremost practicioners - operators with 30 years of creating and developing innovative digital products - not theoretical management consultants.

We work with corporations and organisations to build what they need at unprecedented speed, extreme agility, and often at a fraction of the time and cost that it would take to do it internally, creating functional prototypes and MVPs, allowing them to extend their capabilities on demand, getting the feedback they need to start validating the new business opportunities by gathering real customer data from a live product.

From Web and Mobile Apps, we have been trusted do deliver for large and medium enterprises, global iconic brands, GOs, and NGOs for decades.

For some of our customers, acquiring and growing these development capabilities internally over time was also desirable. And we got you covered right now, so the innovation teams can build what they need today - and we can also help you implement and establish these new capabilities in your organisation over time, preparing you for tomorrow today.

Programs, Processes, & Support

One of the key success factors of companies and organisations is the implementation of scalable and repeatable processes. Innovation should not be treated as an exception to this rule, because we now known that innovation happens as a deliberate result of a disciplined process integral to all areas of your organisation, not by accident.

We can help you support innovation as a scalable and repeatable process using the LLP method from Stanford capable of delivering measurable results 50x faster than traditional methods, proven to increase investment-readiness with 42%, and achieving a documented 86% survival rate.

We'll help you benefit from implementing the programs and processes that allows companies and organisations to try out more things in a much shorter timespan, finding out what works and what doesn't much faster while decreasing risk, decreasing costs, and increasing fundability and probability of success - starting today, to be well-prepared for tomorrow.
