Global Team Management

Development

We start with a structured approach to concept development that is grounded in the principles of design-thinking. We call it Better Brainstorming© and it leads to ideas that are innovative and destined for success in the marketplace.

Is your development and innovation process too free-wheeling and wasteful? We can train your team in our Better Brainstorming© techniques, no matter the platform you’re creating for, Our workshop leads you through fun, structured brainstorming processes that free you to embrace the completely unreasonable. Then you use real-world observations and data to bring those ideas down to earth and craft concepts that audiences really want.
