What Innovation Engineering (IE) is.

In today’s world, the only way to ensure you win is to make sure you have better ideas and a culture that supports them.  Innovation Engineering enables your teams with a new way of working that makes that a reality.

Rather than working on culture from the “outside in,” IE works from the “inside out” – helping teams solve challenges in a new way that results in both great business results but also a more innovative culture.  It does this through:

Industries we specialize in.

Every industry needs a smarter, faster, better innovative culture.  We’ve worked in most all of them.  However, we have deep expertise, experience and love for…

Food & Beverage

Whether it’s creating the next new item, retailer strategies, masterminding manufacturability, leveling up on food service, navigating supply chain challenges or just constantly navigating how to do more with less – innovation can help.  And we can show you how.

Manufacturing

Finding new customers, identifying new assets and capabilities, finding workforce talent – all are fruitful areas for using innovation to work smarter, not harder.  In fact, many manufacturers that educate everyone in proactive problem solving make formal improvements to their Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) as a result.

Durable Goods

With long sales cycles, inventory management, logistics, sometimes trend-heavy investments and often retailer, installer and distributor complications – making innovation happen can often feel over burdended.  We can help with a clear ROI on innovation – both in trouble-shooting problems and forecasting longer term impacts.

Financial & Insurance

Around the board room and through all the many stakeholders (brokers, providers, retail, commercial, etc.) – finding ways to innovate in a very conservative, regulated industry can feel impossible.  Which is why a logical, systems based approach of innovating in a way that reduces risk makes perfect sense.

Pharma

Advancing discovery research and robust product development is key, but so too is thinking innovatively about brand, strategy, go-to-market planning and global distribution.  Innovative thinking ensures a win-win-win for you, your customers and your staff.

Business-to-Business

Whether you’re service-based or product, innovation must be a team sport.  Sales, operations, finance, product, production – everyone plays a role in delivering value to the customer, which can be a blessing or a curse.  Innovation Engineering helps everyone productively collaborate to increase value of the organization and for the customer.

Innovative thinking applied to the whole business – NOT just new products.

We help progressive leaders incorporate innovative thinking across all functions and levels.  Yes, that includes new products, but also product and process improvement and problem solving – to help staff go beyond the obvious solutions and create new ways to quickly do business better.

Who we work with.

We’ve worked with over 2,000 companies across the globe to help them be more innovative. Below are just a few.

Cross Culture Tipping Point

Kick Start your Innovation Program

How much fun this can all be. When you do something the same way for the better part of 70 years, things get dull and mundane. Energy levels across the organization drop and people start to check out. The exercises we have done have created a buzz in the company that has been sorely lacking. People walk out of activities surrounding IE work with an excitement that you can see on their faces. I have learned a methodology and framework to yield real results while also creating a much more exciting and dynamic work environment that people crave.

In just one project, we went from alignment to delivery in 2 months, a speed which is absolutely unheard of for us. This innovation now accounts for 21% of our domestic revenue just 6 months after launch, with continued monthly growth.

In the end, results have been spectacular.

Our speed to market improved 40%. 

Our new product pipeline increased 50%.

New News.

We know.  It sounds too good to be true.  And it’s just about to sound even moreso – but it is!

Innovation Engineering is proud to be featured as a “Breakout Actor” in Beloved Economies – Transforming How We Work.  In the book, Stanford researchers Joanna and Jess led a research effort with 100+ collaborators to find evidence that people could collaborate effectively to do new things AND do it in a way that’s inclusive, equitable and yes – beloved.

Innovation Engineering served as evidence that it’s possible to break out of “business as usual” and operate in a way that wins the hearts and minds of people AND on the balance sheet.

If you’re a leader what wants to help your staff and workplace thrive we recommend the 2-pack of Beloved Economies and our own most recent book, Driving Eureka!
