Prepare Your Mind
What is innovation and why is it important?
Innovation creates new value –matching an original
problem with a creative solution. It can be seen in new
products, in improved services, in integrated technologies,
or even a simple idea. Being innovative is how we as a firm
generate growth and improve our competitive advantage.
The first step to innovation is training your brain to look at
existing concepts from new perspectives.
- Understand the different types of Innovation
- Get Involved!!

Prepare Your Team
What makes a team innovative?
An innovative team draws from their common knowledge,
relationships, insights, and experiences to generate growth
and deliver new value to their clients. Creating a collaborative
environment will position your team to think big, experiment,
and build original ideas that solve your clients’ greatest
challenges. This step focuses on how to improve trust, engage
with colleagues, celebrate diverse perspectives, and give and
receive effective feedback.
- Create an Innovative Team
- Connect with Your Team in Person
- Connect with Your Team Virtually
- Inspire Innovation within the Team

Define Your Problem
How do you define and solve the right
problem, and why is it so critical to your work?
Our clients/customers rely on us to solve their most critical,
complex, and original challenges. This starts with a genuine
appreciation for their problems, which may differ from their
beliefs. Getting to—and defining—the root cause of their
problem allows us to match it with the right solution, rather
than merely treat the symptoms.
- Understand the Problem Solving Lifecycle
- Identify a Problem
- Deconstruct a Problem

Generate Ideas
How should you generate ideas and what
tools and events exist to spur innovation?
Idea generation is the process of devising ideas that are new or
repurposed from existing solutions. It requires thinking critically
and creatively to connect the dots between diverse sources of
inspiration and the problem at hand. Collaborating and sharing
your knowledge, expertise, and experience is an essential
component to developing original ideas. This step focuses on
thinking differently, providing structured ways to create new
ideas, and how to speak up to get your ideas heard--both in
person and virtually.
- Generate Ideas In Person
- Generate Ideas Virtually – Leverage beyond traditional
boundaries
- Pitch Ideas

Build Solutions
How should you select the right ideas
and bring them to market?
As agile and dedicated problem solvers we want to deliver
exceptional results to our clients. Defining the problem and
generating ideas are only the beginning of solving these tough
problems. To fully realize an idea or concept and bring it to
market, it must be developed, matured, and tested. This step
focused on how to evaluate, market, and get the resources
necessary to build a business around your idea.
- Screen and Evaluate Ideas
- Market and Sell Your Idea
- Get Funding and Resources for Your Idea
