Our services are designed to reduce the risks of trying something new and increase the likelihood it will succeed. These innovation services are tested in the Mid West and proven to grow good ideas to become viable commercial ventures or sustained social changes.

Our approach to innovation and learning is flexible: we aim to meet all the needs across the diverse sectors & stages of ventures. When advising you on the best support, we consider: the stage of your idea or venture, your sector or target market, available time and resources, and how valuable confidentiality or collaboration are to you.

Stages of growth for an innovation.

Innovation and collaboration sessions for small groups, perfect for team lunchbreaks. We facilitate idea generation, then bring a focus to testing and iteration. They can be facilitated with your organisation or group, or as open sessions in our coworking space.

One-day innovation acceleration sessions. The quickest way to move an idea forward or identify best options to deal with challenges. In one day we facilitate: idea generation, prototyping, market validation and pitching the final product or service.

Get serious and turn an idea into a live venture through fortnightly sessions October to December. Suitable for all types of innovations, this program will help you refine your vision, improve the business model, and deliver a plan and pitch to investors.

Increase your operational efficiency and grow revenue and professional networks through Flock. Mentors, peer accountability and expert facilitation means you can go further, faster, together. Like group training at the gym: innovation is a team sport.

Pilot investment-readiness program for high-growth potential ventures with a track record i.e. $250k-$2million turnover. Groundswell we will support a very limited number of ventures to prepare for and pitch on 9^th December to suitable investors.

Half-day sessions within organisations, or facilitating multi-stakeholder collaboration on around a single challenge or opportunity. Workshops are bespoke, using appropriate tools and processes to generate, test, or firm up the case for an innovation. Our Swarms are multi-stakeholder examples of workshops.
