Shaping an innovation ecosystem through Human-Centered Design
As the pace of technological change accelerates, there is increasing value in incubating solutions to target specific problems. Organizations can leverage their convening power to bring relevant actors together and collectively address complex challenges.
Our clients turn to us as functional experts in Innovation and Human-Centered Design to help them connect with other organizations to accelerate their path to product-market fit and tackle shared challenges.
Incubating has the potential to yield outsized results. We propose a three-phased process to maximize the positive benefits of convening: (1) Preparation of the incubation cohort, (2) Action on convening and managing the cohort to address key problems through Human-Centered Design, and (3) Follow-Through to drive results.
