We work with retailers and retail partners of any size and build crafted programs to support your innovation agenda. We always start with an innovation dialogue to ensure we are all clear on the outcomes we want to achieve and how we will measure them.

Innovation Diagnostic & report card

 

For retailers.

We run a proven diagnostic on every step of our process in your organization and provide a report card to you with recommended actions to improve your innovation capability and outcomes.

For retail partners.

We use our diagnostic to identify expected project friction and create a plan of recommended actions to reduce the friction and therefore reduce the risk of project delay or unexpected cost.

We are on a mission to play our part in making innovation a natural capability for retailers. We have built a series of training courses to enable retailers to understand the elements of successful innovation in a retail business, as well as the capability to implement them themselves. Start with a quick innovation dialogue or attend one of our two-day innovation essentials courses that covers the ReFRAME process and key “how to” lessons on implementing them. Alternatively, we can custom prepare a masterclass for your key innovation team members. We adore teaching innovation and spreading the word, so reach out to us and enquire about our training courses and become an Uncommonist!

Quick Innovation Dialogues

Designed to fit a lot of helpful discussion into a short time frame, these sessions focus on understanding the state of innovation in your business and retail generally. We will provide you with a recommended next focus and direction to level up your innovation game.
