Innovation-Based Partnership

We develop human-centered and agile minded approaches to help your team solve challenges, energize the status quo and maximize opportunities. Consulting most intuitively describes what we do, but we prefer being a partner in thought and action, building on your expertise.

Services

Skill-Building Workshops

Short form, topic specific sessions designed to leave your team with immediately relevant skills to take back to their day-to-day work. From prepared topics like AI for collaboration, Agile Mindset and Narrative-building to custom sessions made-to-order, workshops are meant to be fun and high impact.

Guided Innovation Processes

  • Custom engagements that lean on human-centered design and agile methods to address a particular problem, opportunity or need.
  • Where many consultants stop at strategy on slides, we will collaborate to develop roadmaps and execution plans with your internal teams.

Revenue Diversification

Innovation approaches can help identify new routes to revenue by inspiring thinking and experimentation beyond legacy boundaries. Keeping mission in mind, we seek to help you identify partnerships, activities, approaches and funding pools that can support greater financial independence.

The Innovation Impact

Innovation isn’t the result of a personality trait. It’s the result of a process of gaining insights, ideating and developing iterative action plans. This process can be learned. Through innovation practices like human-centered insight and design and agile mindset, we help teams learn how to innovate and collaborate to apply those skills in practical ways to benefit the organization.

WHAT’S WITH THE NAME?

Typewriters had a key called the margin release. With one press, the page magically expanded. This single action provided more space to create. Much innovation comes from simply, but intentionally, improving on existing successes. Our mission is to help clients release the margins on their own organizational habits, business models and approaches to solving problems and maximizing opportunities.

Respecting Mission, Driving Business-Grade Results

A traditional business consultant may not fully invest in your team’s mission focus and a typical mission-based consultant may not have experience helping you produce business-grade results. We commit to respecting the legacy of your organization while challenging it to evolve for growth and longevity. Teams partner with us to help them apply innovation approaches to tricky problems, the stale status quo or high value opportunities. We work with Directors, Presidents and CEOs, marketing and revenue leaders, boards, trustees and more.
