Introducing a four-part series on Collaborne’s innovation process

With Collaborne, the quest for innovation will take teams of innovators through four phases: Sensing, Visioning, Prototyping, and Scaling. Each phase is designed to focus on an aspect of innovation development, and leads to the actual implementation and deployment of a team’s innovation. Together, these phases—collectively known as the Concepting stage—seamlessly integrate into the “Creation Flow.” (Implementation, which occurs after the Creation Flow has been completed, is a stage of its own.)

The Creation Flow is rooted in the best practices of design thinking, and stimulates both the left (logical) and right (creative) sides of the brain. The process helps bring out the best qualities each individual has to offer, resulting in innovative yet practical value propositions.

But what exactly occurs during the Creation Flow? What will innovators be doing? And why will they be doing it?

To answer these — and more — questions, we will publish a four-part series that delves into each phase, detailing its purpose and philosophy, “missions” contained within, and pointers for success.
