INVENT NEW WAYS TO GROW

INNOVATE OR STAGNATE!

Your competitors are looking for ways to provide better products and services to your customers.

Will you be the disruptor or will you be the disrupted?

Stewarding your business involves more than creating operational excellence. You also need to stimulate progress.

You do this by becoming strategic and intentional about innovation.

THE CHALLENGE MID-SIZED COMPANIES FACE

Jim Collins says that every great company needs to do two things: stimulate progress and preserve the core. The problem is that many mid-sized companies are out of balance. Here's why.

Every startup begins with innovation. It's simple. In the early days of a business you innovate or your die.

At some point, revenue starts flowing. In the everyday rush to serve customers, chaos begins to set in.

In order to tame the chaos, smart growing companies implement operating systems like EOS®. While this structure brings operational excellence, the challenge is that many companies lose their innovative edge.

While preserving the core is critical to success, without a plan to stimulate progress, these companies get stuck in flatline growth, vulnerable to new competitors.

THE SOLUTION:
A STRATEGIC INNOVATION ENGINE

Mid-size companies can stimulate progress by developing an intentional process to drive strategic innovation.

A GROUP OF INNOVATIVE EMPLOYEES

Build a Strategic Innovation Council by engaging innovative employees with the Working Geniuses® of Wonder, Invention, and Discernment.

THAT WORKS IN A REGULAR CADENCE

Watch ideas to come to life as the council meet quarterly to create new ideas that help your Ideal Clients achieve their outcomes.

"Marketing and Innovation produce results;

Peter Drucker

As a purpose-driven business leader you want to create a flourishing company with growing revenue and profit so you can make a difference in the world. You also want to steward the company you have built, protecting it from competitive threats in a rapidly changing world with new technologies like AI.

You need a consistent stream of innovation.

The problem is that innovation doesn’t happen by accident. It needs to be intentional.

If you are like most companies you get stuck in the day-to-day execution which makes you concerned that not only are you missing out on opportunities to grow, a savvy competitor could arise with a new idea that causes you to lose customers.

I believe that Jim Collins was right. You need to preserve the core as well as stimulate progress which is why I have created a way to drive innovation inside companies with operational excellence.

Here’s how it works.

First, you use Patrick Lencioni’s Working Genius® model to discover the people on your team with Wonder, Invention, and Discernment that get joy from innovating.

Second, you stand up an Innovation Council to build your Engine.

Third, you enjoy the fruits of Innovation as the council creates, develops and prepares new ideas for integration into your company to drive profits and competitive advantage..
