Incubating Change

Incubators and pilots can help create initial environments for success with 2.0 efforts. Traditional tools, processes, and skills just aren’t there or are too slow and burdened with unnecessary overhead.

Incubation Process

Our incubation process is an in situ program that mentors a business through an accelerated process of seeing and seizing new business opportunities. It also engages the organization in a process of learning to be adaptive. It is this learned adaptive potential that will generate the “can do” optimism and know-how to face a fast-changing and increasingly uncertain future. This ability will become key aspect of a company’s strategic differentiation.

The Economics of Interactions

Interactions between people are a major component of doing business. We help you reduce interaction friction and cost. The incubation process also helps client companies to rapidly and dramatically improve the economic value of their interactions with customers, partners, employees, and other stakeholder participants across their entire ecosystem.

“Customer-in” Focus

Our proven methodology and collaboration support platform aligns leaders around a realizable strategy–designed from the “customer-in”. It streamlines and integrates capabilities across the value chain and extended network leveraging the speed and collaborative nature of social computing technology.

Fast Results, Lasting Capabilities

We guide the strategy development, iteratively design/test new interaction capabilities, and coach through the integrated implementation to help your business ecoystem engage and embrace the changes required to survive and thrive. We coach you through an incubation / interactive learning process that leaves you and your organization armed with new methods and capabilities and to get out of the “one-off” project as a point in time event cycle. You will have the capabilities, methods, and tools to continuously evolve and improve your customer experience and economic return.

Foster Cross-Silo and Ecosystem Collaboration

Through an incubation/interactive learning process, we coach your team to implement the strategy. Your team learns how to align all ecosystem interactions with the strategic goals. They learn to optimize interactions to keep costs and frustrations low. They also learn how to increase the value of interactions by encouraging co-operation and collaboration. Interactive value in relationships is the fuel that enables all parties to co-adapt to change. Through coaching and incubation, your organization takes control over both strategy and process.

Our Incubation Process was modelled after the Learning Lab process pioneered by Del Langdon and Associates and refined by the Center for Organizational Learning.
