The first science-based approach to quantifying and improving innovation
Building the capacity to be more innovative is the single most important activity that companies can perform.
Developed by a team from MIT & Harvard, our Innovation Assessment is the world’s first way to scientifically understand the ability for each person in your organization to innovate.
Our innovation data-model provides hyper-customized training that targets and improves each person’s innovation capabilities and behaviors. Your teams will get the same training and tools taught at MIT to undergraduates, graduates and professionals personalized for your organization’s objectives.
The content can be custom tailored to your needs, and you can chose a mixture of 3 different delivery methods, including multi-day classes, live seminars and micro-learning.

““Blade’s techniques and approaches helped save my company when we only had 6 months of runway left! He quickly applied a sophisticated design-thinking approach that tied the technical, business and users all together. My company engaged Blade part-time for a few months, we implemented his plan and grew the business incredibly quickly because of that work. Just recently the company was acquired for $150MM. If it wasn’t for Blade and his ideas to pivot the product, the company wouldn’t have survived. In that process, I personally learned a lot from Blade that I use to this day.”

WHY MOST COMPANIES FAIL TO INNOVATE
Most companies only innovate in incremental ways, instead of radically innovating to provide best-in-class experiences to their customers. Why do most companies stagnate? They are afraid to challenge the assumptions that first made them successful. Think about the best brands in the world: they all leverage the core of what makes them unique, and also challenge themselves to bring their products and services to customers in new ways, to create stronger bonds with their customers and increase the lifetime value of their customers.
The Value of transformational innovation
Design-thinking and innovation should always drive a company—but it's particularly important when world-class brands are facing competitive pressures or need to create differentiation. These are moments when design-thinking and innovation services are the most valuable. Research has shown that companies who invest as little as 2% of their spend on innovation in transformational innovation (compared to incremental innovation), creates more than 80% of their long term revenue. Unfortunately most brands invest more dollars in marketing spend, instead of product and service innovation.
We will make your teams innovate more effectively, and help you create new products and services that will leap-frog the competition.
