We can help you beyond our software as well

We offer a range of professional services to help you take the next step in corporate innovation. From coaching individual teams to training innovation coaches, from customized playbooks to masterclasses. And of course helping you with strategy consulting.

All of our experiences have led us to develop our own methodology to successfully execute innovation. A methodology we have tested with several hundred startups and corporates from all over the world. The core principles are explained in our books “The Corporate Startup” and "Innovation Accounting".
Additional frameworks such as the “Next Canvas” are used to bring these principles to practice.

We do not believe in a one-size-fit’s-all model for innovation. Structure, processes, and KPIs are important, but every business is different so we always adapt our methodology to our customers. Together wíth our customers.
