We’ll help you find the right process. You pick the name.

(2) We get to know your organization and culture through an initial, pre-project workshop.

(3) We scope and customize a design and innovation offering specific to your needs.

(4) We co-create and co-deliver content with you, so the learning remains embedded in your organization.

Learn to train others.

People, place, stimuli, tools, and time – five components of creating successful design and innovation sessions. We’ll train you in the best way to execute in your organization.

If you’re worried about time, you aren’t alone. We’ll work with you to find the best, most efficient ways to integrate innovation learnings into your company culture. It’s all about creating small, low barrier to entry steps to energize your hard-working team.

Limited budget? We’re flexible in our workshop and engagement setups. We keep our operating costs low so that we can offer you the most competitive prices. Let us know your budget and we’ll maximize what we can offer you.

Trying to create a space for innovation but you’ve got no…space? We’ll show you how to transform hallways, create impromptu nooks, hijack conference rooms with temporary structures and more. There is always a way.

Feel like you’re ready to spread it?

Testimonials

Carissa Carter

"Carissa is outstanding at leading teams and working with customers. Her Creative Explosion sessions with customers were always engaging entertaining, and valuable. Her enthusiasm and energy is contagious.”

-Tom Granzow, Associate Director of R&D, Advanced Concepts at Stryker Medical



"Carissa has been enormously helpful in the early stages of our company. Carissa was referred to me through a mutual friend, and she came in very very early to interview customers and develop insights for design elements needed to win our target customers. I can honestly say that Carissa has provided insights not only in understanding various patterns/behaviors of our customer, but also recommending specific/actionable design innovations we wouldn't have thought of otherwise."

-Rich Menendez, CEO Workshop Cafe
