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.

Building the mechanisms for hiring, training and enabling individuals to enhance and spread the innovation mindset and competencies.

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.

From an investment standpoint it was absolutely worth doing exploration work with Inovo. They helped us focus and align on the best applications for our technology. We could have wasted 10 times that amount and valuable time without it.
