We implement structured innovation systems that align with your growth strategy, unlocking ROI and driving EBITDA
We build structured innovation systems that tie ideas to outcomes. Our approach transforms brainstorming into a disciplined engine for execution, growth, and measurable ROI.
Our team possesses experience in franchise systems, aerospace manufacturing, renewable energy, and product innovation. We leverage a network of seasoned professionals with deep expertise in operations, cost optimization, and scaling innovation to address complex challenges.
Our approach is grounded in one belief: innovation only creates value when it’s focused. We work with leadership to define strategic direction, then engage frontline teams to generate ideas that align, creating a closed loop where innovation fuels real, measurable growth.
The Problem:
If less than 30% of your current revenue comes from innovations developed in the last 3 years, you have an innovation gap and it's costing you.
Most VC firms and mid-sized companies struggle to turn ideas into outcomes. Leaders often push top-down initiatives that sound good but fall flat in the real world. Meanwhile, practical ideas from frontline teams never surface or aren't aligned with the company’s growth strategy.
Carlson’s Law says it best:
'Top-down innovation tends to be orderly but dumb. Bottom-up innovation tends to be chaotic but smart. ”
This disconnect between strategy and execution stalls growth, wastes time, and kills momentum. Innovation becomes noise instead of results.
The Solution: Build a Focused Innovation Engine
Idea IQ helps companies install a structured system that captures ideas from across the business, aligns them with strategy, and turns them into measurable results.
We do this through:
The Result:
You don’t just generate more ideas. You build a repeatable, revenue-generating innovation engine the kind that creates real exits, scalable growth, and long-term differentiation.
We don’t just talk about innovation, we install the systems that make it happen. Here’s how we turn strategic intent into scalable results:
Step 1: Diagnose the Gaps
We audit your current structured systems are missing. We look at innovation flow: where ideas live, where they die, and where ROI is getting lost. You’ll get a clear picture of missed opportunities and leadership blind spots.
Step 2: Install the System
We install a stage-gate innovation system aligned with your leadership strategy and frontline execution. This includes a structured innovation funnel, leader coaching, idea evaluation tools, and a repeatable stage-gate process that fuels measurable ROI.
Step 3: Deliver Results
We help you implement, test, and track the ROI of your highest-potential ideas. Together, we build momentum, measure impact, and make innovation a durable, growth scaling capability across your portfolio or business unit.
