The SMALLIFY Way

by Dave Viotti & Taylor Cone

SMALLIFY is an innovation capacity building firm and problem solving methodology. We help organizations get to the root cause of their most pressing challenges and quickly develop solutions that can be validated and implemented in short timeframes.

The SMALLIFY Way

We believe at the root of every problem exists a solution.

We believe in “smallifying” problems that seem too big to solve.

We believe in breaking big challenges into smaller tasks (“small bets”) that can be achieved in short time frames.

We believe “small bets” accelerate learning and lead to breakthrough solutions faster.

We believe it takes small wins to build momentum and ignite change.

We believe no problem is too big to solve and no action is too small to take.

We believe innovation should not be outsourced.

We believe innovation can be fast and anyone can do it.

We want to show you how.

If you share our beliefs (or want to), join the SMALLIFY community and get in touch on any or all of the following platforms. We look forward to engaging with you.
