inKNOWvate ... provider of CoLabs™
Need a good facilitator?
inKNOWvate creates the conditions from which new forms of meaningful innovation can emerge.
We offer strategic planning and design facilitation services for businesses, nonprofits, educational, and government institutions using CoLaboratories (or CoLabs™).
CoLabs are used to help you to co-design technical, organizational, and social innovation guided by participant values and principles of sustainable innovation.
Our CoLabs™ will help you realize Whole System Innovation throughout your organization. Our primary focus is working with organizations that are making the shift toward sustainability and need to effectively transition themselves into the Triple Bottom Line marketplace, or are developing Sustainability Reporting processes.
We are a professional consulting firm that works with organizations who have identified both sustainability and innovation as core elements of their existing strategic plan. We assert that both 'sustainability' and 'innovation' are outcomes of businesses that seek to advance their products and services through collaborative design practices - CoLabs™.
Unlike prescriptive organizational development (OD) models, inKNOWvate uses unique group facilitation techniques that create conditions for achieving larger capacities for discovery and generative solutions - all contained within our highly productive format that helps to accelerate your ideas to the marketplace.
Our approach has the ability to incorporate strategy at any stage of an organization's development - from startup to maturity. CoLab elements address principles from triple bottom line management, organizational learning, values assessment and decision-making using inKNOWvate's six point architecture model.
The ability to adapt and adopt quickly and responsibly has become a critical requirement for success. inKNOWvate's legacy is to enable a permanent capacity for systemic and self-adaptive change (i.e. innovate or die) by first providing you with profit-driven outcomes, and then training and empowering your staff to become facilitators of your own continuous, collaborative, and sustainable innovation processes within your company.
