Our Philosophy

Our Core Belief is that "People have a passion to implement things they help to create."  It's our job to unleash that passion, and to provide innovators with the tools, skills and direction they need to succeed.  So our philosophy and our approach is to teach, to guide, to coach, to facilitate teams of your own resources, stretched by outside experts, to find the answers that are right for you and to instill in your team the passion to actually implement strategically based, innovative thinking into new  ways of creating value for the company.  Ours is a "Learn" and "Think" while you "Do" aproach.

Innovation is a function of Strategic Foresight + Insight + Creativity + Implementation.  Success requires a flexible discipline in all four areas.

To achieve this goal, you need experienced partners on your journey.  We are a boutique consulting firm, and proud of it.  Each client team is staffed with "Business Innovationists" who have not only years of experience in innovation, but decades.  They all work in the full range of B2B and B2C industries.  It's this senior, cross industry approach that ensures you have the best advice from all worlds, not some narrowly focused perspective.
