1. Idea Engineering

A disciplined system for thinking smarter and more creatively about old and new ideas for top-line growth. Unlike classic brainstorming that encourages the “wild and wacky” — Eureka! is about discipline, focus and thinking smarter about concept development. It’s the world’s first ideation system that honors and leverages the wisdom of “logical, rational and experienced managers.”

2. Success Screening

Merwyn Research — a scientific way to separate big ideas from costly losers — before you’ve wasted significant time and money. Merwyn evaluates how “obvious and self-evident” your idea is to potential customers. It does this by benchmarking your idea on 50 success factors. The factors were identified by reverse engineering what separates market successes from failures.

3. Action Plan Coaching

Trailblazer — a structured process for developing a “continuous flow” portfolio of growth initiatives

  • Instead of “quality by inspection” quality is built into the process
  • Instead of fear inducing “gate meetings” — the individual is empowered to drive cycles of fail fast — fail cheap learning till they get it right.
  • Instead of “siloed” hand offs that gated systems enable — the team is empowered to do everything — just like a start up.
