Introducing
The 3i
Platform
The 3i platform unshackles ideas
3i builds a connective layer that transcendsgeography, departments, titles, and politics.
3i combats the ultimate innovation killer, size, by facilitating the creation of small, nimble, ad hoc groups around ideas.
3i enables idea generators to attract the right people to evolve ideas and execute. In addition, it allows contributors to find ideas they wish to build upon.
Ideas are powerless without the right people

The Idea Lifecycle
Innovation networks will have a revolutionary effect on internal idea generation and adoption.
In the past lone McDonalds franchisees developed more efficient kitchen orientations, and Wal-Mart loading dock workers streamlined the supply chain.
Through innovation networks, ideas can be disseminated far more rapidly and efficiently.
Demand for these types of networks will grow rapidly as companies become more geo-agnostic and market consolidation hastens.

Departmental Innovation
Advertising holding companies are bloated and inefficient. They are built around the idea that client service is enhanced by a “360 degree, full service” offering.
It is a myth.
MDC Partners, however, has a built a network of innovative, agile, and entrepreneurial companies.
The philosophy is forward-thinking,
But
The continued success will hinge on harnessing the individual strengths of each portfolio company through a collaborative network,
And
Not only finding and acquiring cutting edge companies, but disseminating the company’s innovation throughout the entirety of the network.
Agency
Research & Insights Design
Moving forward I believe it will be critical to develop more effective cross portfolio teams
Personally I believe there is a strong trend bringing the design and advertising realms together. Smaller agencies like Anomaly are winning previously unattainable clients by combining the talent of their designers with the consumer insights provided by their research and creative teams. For example, for the Virgin Airways pitch they chose to reach beyond the TV spot and redesign steward outfits, aircraft interiors, and built an entire in-flight entertainment system.
This is power of breaking down these silos and fully leveraging the amazing set of talents that resides within MDCs network. More powerful pitches, increased revenue through in-network sourcing, and greater quality work.
