Reach New Markets
Create big ideas and make them work.
Take the guesswork out of innovation.
Intentional Innovation® lowers innovation investment, reduces risk, and ignites creativity.
We believe the best innovations are those that produce sustainable value and growth over long periods of time. We find that the best way to ensure an innovation is implemented – and to ensure it is intentional, is to take a series of steps from consensus building to idea deconstruction.
Intentional Innovation® is a commercially-proven process to simplify and deploy higher performing, longer lasting, innovative solutions that drive new revenues and deeper customer engagement. Your organization will benefit from a reliable and repeatable approach that bakes innovation into the DNA of your business.
From knowing where to start to getting innovation done, our speedy results-oriented process is ready to take you where you want to go.
It's as simple as answering these five key questions.
Even if you create the biggest, best, most disruptive innovation, if you don't have a plan to get it into action, it's just an idea. So, here's the plan.
Clarify the Need.
Teaming Worldwide begins by assessing your innovation needs as well your organization’s ability to move forward. We then quickly identify obstacles to success and build the path to overcome them.
Driven by common language, consensus building, and proven process, we can install, repair, or replace existing innovation process with customized solutions that will move your organization from consensus building to implementation. Again, and again.
Prepare for innovation.
Start with an understanding of which one you need. Use our unique portfolio views to confirm your growth outlook, identify growth gaps, and select the innovation types that best fill the gaps.
Next, create success metrics to clarify the role of the innovation type and make sure everyone agrees. Now you are ready to move forward.
Did you know that 50-75% of all new initiatives start in the wrong place. This step is a big one.
Prepare for creativity.
Common practices tend to knock teams off-balance by focusing on industry experts, creative types, or other methods. Instead, we create teams based on the careful balance of cognitive diversity – six distinct blends of critical and creative thinking. Each unique profile contributes differently through a set of “hero tasks".
Ask about our Thinking Profile Assessments - one of our clients’ favorite tools, and how they relate to building highly effective teams.
Create and classify ideas.
Teaming Worldwide’s Intentional Creativity® process combines a selection of our 7 Genius Thinking Patterns, universal emerging trends, and unmet core needs to turn creativity into one of the most productive assets within your organization.
In six hours or less, a team may produce up to 500 ideas, then narrow those to 10+ disruptive ideas that will evolve into valid ideas of the future.
Build the path to the future.
We then use Teaming Worldwide’s frameworks to add the granular detail needed to build out the initiative. These incremental steps reduce risk and assure long term growth.
Finally, we look to our success metrics to prove and maintain feasibility along the way. This ultimately leads to pain-free launches and increases implementation threefold.
