How we Inspire.it
Trend Analysis
We don't curate trends in secret; we actively involve your team, showing them how to find quick, easy, and often free trend insights—ensuring they never miss a beat in the ever-evolving market landscape. Our hands-on approach nurtures their ability to identify and analyze trends independently, fueling your organization's future endeavors for ongoing growth.
Ecosystem Mapping
We help create a detailed map of your business ecosystem, allowing you to identify key players and potential opportunities. This process can be a collaborative effort, where your team learns to navigate and utilize the ecosystem effectively, fostering a deeper understanding and the ability to spearhead similar initiatives independently.
Innovation Curriculum Assessment & Development
Before diving into any bespoke curriculum development, we first assess the existing knowledge and resources within your team. Building upon this foundation, we craft a tailored curriculum that enhances their innovation capabilities, ensuring we don't needlessly reinvent the wheel, saving time and fostering organic growth.
Workshop Facilitation Training
Our workshop facilitation training is spearheaded by our founder, who comes equipped with certifications in facilitation, speaking, and even improv. Going beyond the typical "public speaking course" or "team building" activity, our training equips your team with the ability to gather associates—and sometimes even customers—to ideate, build, and collaborate effectively, fostering a culture of innovation within your organization. It's a hit with employees because it has real application and value, serving as a vital tool at the various stages of imagining, testing, validating, and launching ideas.
Innovation events and hackathons
From small ideation contests to global hackathons, we orchestrate a range of innovation events—and your team can be actively involved in this process, learning the nuances of organizing and executing successful events that ignite creativity and innovation. These skills can serve as a powerful catalyst for future innovative endeavors, encouraging a vibrant culture of collaboration and idea generation within your organization.
Inspire.it Case Study
In the Inspire.it phase with a Fortune 100 global manufacturing company, Curiate harnessed the trend of remote monitoring and customization. We offered the ability to control refrigeration systems remotely to minimize downtime and maximize efficiency, and also explored the need for customization— allowing users to reposition shelves, storage boxes, and switch elements between the fridge and freezer interchangeably. Additionally, we examined trends and insights for a new line of washing machines in Asia-Pacific (India specifically). Our data-driven approach charted a course for the client to explore increasingly relevant product innovations in two distinct markets, expanding their reach in a busy global market.
