ExperimentFirst
We've designed our model to be scalable allowing:
- Internal innovation on a subscription fee, so it's embedded and accessible to all parts of the organisation (not just a small unit or team)
- It addresses both 'leadership-gap' and 'execution-gap' in innovation together by integrating top-down and bottom-up approaches to innovation
- Builds in-house expertise amongst employees. We provide co-founders (not coaches, mentors, or consultants) for your strategic problems
Unique value of this model
What our model doesn't do
We don't do workshops or conferences, or innovation contests... "Too many companies use point solutions to address a systematic challenge: Let’s run an idea challenge! Have an ideation session! Run a leadership training session, form a growth group! Open a corporate venturing arm! Create incentives for innovation! None of these is bad, but point solutions don’t solve system-level problems."
We adapt our cocreator model to your organisation, to drive core and new-growth with in-house startups
