Guiding You to Disruptive Ideas That Become Game-Changing Innovations

How important is having an experienced guide to your innovation success?

The value of experience is immeasurable. Finding those with proven real-world experience ensures you become the hero who generates the disruptive ideas.

The Innovators Network’s Innovation Coaching has been a game changer! As I have begun my new role as an innovation leader in my organization, Phil & Mark have been amazing coaches. They took into account the unique circumstances of my organization and role as well as my particular goals and helped craft a very detailed blueprint of how to run a Disruptive Ideation session on our Innovation Challenge. The session flowed perfectly and we wound up with some great ideas. Everyone there was energized and excited for the next steps and I received a number of compliments on how well prepared the event was. I couldn’t have done it without them.

The Innovators Network provided tremendous guidance in helping us build our new innovation program from coaching, hands on learning experiences, and continual access to innovation experts. Employing a simple, but effective FIRE framework has provided us an edge. The real-life experience of being in the trenches of the innovation life-cycle has helped us successfully turn ideas into valued customer solutions. A great team to work with!

The Innovators Network provided tremendous and practical insight for New Zealand business innovation practice with workshops, interactive expert sessions, hands on learning experiences and a live broadcast with local innovators. The real life experiences of Phil and his team in the trenches of innovation contributed to a successful week of leanings, helping to inform and improve better innovation practice within NZ Businesses. A fabulous team to work with, highly rated by the workshop attendees!

I had the opportunity to gain valuable innovation coaching and training that was applicable right away with clients and global organizations I have been engaged with. The extensive experience through the cycles of innovation and hands on work in the trenches that Phil and Mark bring enabled me to expand opportunities and drive effective results.

The Innovators Network did an excellent job coaching me through a number of activities within the innovation lifecycle from internal structuring, positioning amongst business units, working with leadership to global marketplace collaboration. Their proven experience and insights were invaluable.

The IPO has been written about in many leading publications and is used as case studies at Stanford and Harvard Business Schools.
