We implement structured innovation systems that align your growth strategy, unlocking ROI driving EBITDA
Idea IQ helps you unlock the strategic signal buried in your frontline teams: the real problems, workarounds, and opportunities only they see.
We design systems to capture these insights, align them with your strategy, filter for impact, and execute them reliably to deliver measurable ROI.
Our systems are designed for your existing team to own and run, without adding headcount or complexity.
We embed innovation into your daily workflows so it becomes part of how your business operates, not another side project that dies when the consultant leaves.
We design structured innovation systems that:
- Capture strategic signal from your frontline teams
- Align ideas with your growth strategy
- Challenge teams to solve your real priorities
- Filter and prioritize for ROI
- Execute reliably for measurable results
No noise. No wasted ideas. Just disciplined, profitable innovation.
The Problem:
Top-down strategies miss the friction and inefficiency on the ground.
Frontline insights stay hidden, chaotic, or misaligned.
Carlson’s Law says:
“Top-down innovation tends to be orderly but dumb. Bottom-up innovation tends to be chaotic but smart.”
The real challenge? Turning that chaotic, smart frontline knowledge into aligned, profitable execution.
The Real Cost of Missed Innovation
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.
This disconnect between strategy and execution stalls growth, wastes time, and kills momentum. Innovation becomes noise instead of results.
We Build Focused Innovation Engines
Idea IQ installs structured systems that:
No noise. No wasted ideas. Just disciplined, profitable innovation.
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 what your current 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 strategy and frontline execution. Includes a structured funnel, leader coaching, idea evaluation tools, and a repeatable process that delivers 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.
