Building innovation into your organizational DNA can be a daunting challenge. Creativity must be recognized, accepted, and accounted for — yet not at the expense of business objectives and operational focus.

Ideally, creativity and focus are integrated together, so that innovation activities become a powerful growth engine for the firm. Even for today’s most innovative organizations, this is a very difficult balancing act.

Imaginatik’s consulting services help our clients grow a culture of innovation that flourishes in both the short- and long-term. We focus equally on strategy and leadership; operations and process; and people and capabilities. This builds robust organizational capacity for our clients, which yields powerful results well into the future.

Strategy Development

Innovation can easily die on the vine without the right leadership and strategy. We help our clients with benchmarking, long-term vision and strategy development, team selection, corporate innovation governance, and strategic reviews at key milestones in the strategic plan. Usually this is closely affiliated with our operational consulting and program management, which drive highly productive synergies across the global innovation program.

Program & Process Management

Our 15 years of experience has shown that process design and program management make the critical difference in whether an innovation strategy succeeds or fails. To build innovation into a familiar daily rhythm, we work with clients to create Charter Statements and Innovation Challenges. We help identify crucial Business Sponsors and develop a network of embedded Innovation Champions. We work both as outside advisors, and we offer on-site program management — providing the staffing and expertise to your on-the-ground innovation team.

Organizational Training

The most powerful innovation programs occur when stakeholders across the enterprise — employees, customers, suppliers, executives — are all working together as part of a scaled program. Developing the capabilities for innovation — at both management and individual contributor levels — is a core part of building the innovation program into a powerhouse. We leverage training and coaching; skills development and eLearning; and organizational planning to help clients build the human organization that powers their innovation efforts.

Consulting Partners

Although in-house Imaginatik consultants deliver the vast majority of our work, sometimes the work of a carefully chosen partner complements Imaginatik’s distinctive skills and expertise. We maintain a network of high-value partners who we leverage to ensure comprehensive innovation services to each and every client. To view a list of selected Partners, click here.
