Engagement Consulting

Too many online-communities fail. They jump off a cliff and try to build their plane on the way down. The secret sauce for online innovation networks to work is planning. We help you organize the program and coordinate it effectively.

"Innovation is a social process. And [it] can only happen when people do that simple, profound thing - connect to share problems, opportunities and learning. To put it another way, anyone can innovate, but practically no one can innovate alone".
