As part of our work with clients, we are frequently involved in helping client teams to develop both innovations and the methodologies needed put to put them into practice. 

Innovation training may be appropriate for any one of a number of reasons: clients may have no dedicated team in place and use ad-hoc resources; a new team has just been set up and needs to develop its approach; an existing team may have a 'pipeline' of modest ideas taking up resources, and need to cull; a team may do good ideas work but lack traction with the rest of the organisation; or a team set up to explore radical innovations keeps coming up with incremental ideas.

Our innovation training workshops are designed to help build and strengthen the skills necessary to create and implement innovations successfully, with a focus on helping teams to develop their own processes.

A recent case study illustrates the process.

Innovation training helps clients to:

• Ensure innovation resources and process are directed in a way compatible with the overall strategy and with the way in which decisions are taken within the company

• Achieve clarity of thought about the innovation process itself and a realistic sense of what is feasible

• Build the skills in the team necessary to create, develop and implement the good ideas needed to grow the business

• Raise the profile of the innovation activity in general

• Improve the 'hit rate' of the internal team and, ultimately, to increase the revenues from implemented innovation projects

We offer a  flexible programme of innovation training workshops, exercises and presentations which we will tailor to the specific needs of innovation teams.

We have a well-developed approach to creating new propositions which we have used on many projects and which we can share with clients in developing their own process.  We also have experience of developing and delivering training in consultancy skills and innovation processes, and are well-versed in the transfer of skills to clients.
