Agility takes a structured approach in collaboration:

your innovation agenda for our possible fit.2. We like to observe how you presently go about

innovation to understand it and relate to our ‘fit’3. This will help us determine our contribution

effectively, it saves time and future issues .4. Through mutual discussions and clarifications we

arrive at the key determinates for supporting you.5. We provide a ‘going forward recommendation’

document for discussion and agreement specific to the challenges as they occur.

Secondly, structuring our relationship6. We clarify the different options available 7. We offer solution-advocacy & implication outlines to

achieve specific outcomes that match your innovation agenda

8. We highlight critical gaps and issues that may inhibit the achievement of these goals

9. We mutually decide the next steps & fees.

Thirdly, we engage fully1. We look to problem-solve, coach and

mentor towards the solutions in collaborative ways

2. We transfer knowledge, provide constant advice and fully participate in resolution.

3. We strive for a clear ROII to show the value of our engagement to both you and your clients.

We believe we offer a comprehensive set of innovation solutions that go well beyond.

The power of combing in collaborations needs always to be balanced in the time we both invest and where we believe this combining has client value.

Bandwidth always needs to be measured.

We help build the business case

Offering 1 of the essential building blocks

What are the mutually reinforcing components that need to be combined in unique ways for successful innovation?

We help you to make the Business Case for Innovation compelling

Needed value- This quantifies the present constraints, that if changed would offer the greatest opportunity to meet the clients needed value

Needs stated- It identifies the different opportunities to be realized by addressing certain needs for greater success.

Business Case outcomes- which initiatives meeting the needs will provide the greatest return and impact on the result/ efforts made.

We move it dramatically from an aspiration into a well-designed dynamic process for building capabilities.

We offer time saving solutions

So the question is to clients……

1. Improve innovation conditions

2. Trigger more and achieve a quicker uptake

3. Building greater synergies & capacity

4. Exploring and extending the culture,

structures, processes & technologies

5. Lessons learnt, validations & challenges to

master, building adaptive capacity

6. Solving critical bottlenecks and

constraints, bridging solutions from gap

evaluations

7. Building capability and competencies

The bottom-line aim of focusing upon the building of Capabilities and Capacities is people make or break innovation:

Building innovation as a natural capability

For individuals, teams or organizations so it is systemic

What is capability building, it includes:

Leading edge innovation tools and techniques

Skill development Process and methodology application Cultural aspects that support and promote

capability enhancement Extending experience beyond the internal

boundaries to leverage knowledge, skills, technologies through collaboration, technology and networks

Forming a leadership strategy and style to relate and align structure, strategy with resources

“Everything I want to do is 100% focused on innovation! My focus is all about bringing new forms of innovation competency or capability into the world of everyday thinking, that did not exist in the (collective) minds of organizations, teams or in the individuals tasked with generating innovation activity. This focus is designed to generate new behaviours, understanding and provide value adding services”
