Any practice can be streamlined, accelerated, or even enabled with the proper tools. This is especially true for innovation. As a knowledge based process, innovation requires tools for discovery, analysis, synthesis, communication, and decision making.
Inovo's tool suite has been developed over many years of research and real world application - and it continues to evolve with new tools being added every year. They are designed to address the hot spots where structured methods and computation can make a real difference - enabling entirely new ways of working with knowledge and making decisions.
Inovo has tools for:
- Strategic Domain Identification - Determining where to explore for new opportunities
- Opportunity Exploration - Finding new opportunities that have true evidence of unmet need
- Community Building - Finding the hidden communities of practice that hold knowledge of unmet needs and desires
- Ecosystem Modeling - Finding all the influences that shape the desirability and value of an offering
- Elicitation - Engaging with customers and possible adopters to understand how they think and choose
- Persona Creation - Segmenting populations by core motivation rather than past behavior
- Modeling - Simulating product adoption in software, even before the first prototype
- Ideation - Harnessing the creativity of groups and individuals
- Decision Support - Using the full capability of the organization to make early stage decisions with uncertain or ambiguous information
- Options Development - Creating a portfolio of business hypotheses ready for New Business Development activities
