A well-designed innovation system can change a company.

A company’s innovation system determines its future. A purposefully designed and implemented system fits and extends a company’s culture, mindset, operation and organization. It is critical to get this right, or else it won’t last long.

We help companies design and build enhancements to their existing innovation systems that better enable them to handle the horizon 2 (evolutionary) and horizon 3 (transformational) strategic opportunities that are the most uncertain, complex and ambiguous.

Mindset, motivation, behavior. Skills, roles, jobs. These affect leadership, management, teams and individuals as they do innovation. Inovo has the methods and tools to assess both the mindset and skills of individuals, to evaluate the roles and jobs that need to be done, to identify gaps in your innovation capabilities and help you recruit the right people.

Organization

Building and nurturing effective innovation organizations that drive the innovation process

A modern innovation system has a networked structure that promotes the flow of information and knowledge within the company and between the company and the outside world. It takes work to establish well functioning networks for innovation and Inovo has the experience and approach to help companies create an effectively networked innovation organization.

A well-defined innovation strategy frames and guides your innovation initiatives towards tangible results. An explicit Innovation Strategy prepares you to deal with the
uncertain future to your advantage rather than to your surprise.
