Harness the Power of Design Thinking to Re-engage your Purpose, Uplevel your Creative Process, Combat Disruption, and Imagine What’s Next
You already know that innovation is the lifeblood of your business, to not only survive, but to thrive.
It’s not just a luxury to get around to when times are good, but needs to be an urgent priority at the heart of your organization, to help you stay successful and answer the pressing questions like...
- How do we figure out what our customers’ needs are, especially when everything changes?
- How can we change up internal processes to better support creativity and a great workplace?
- What could we be capitalizing on right now, to leverage opportunities?
The problem is, “innovation” can often feel too conceptual to translate and nail-down into the real world actions your staff needs to be doing in their day-to-day jobs.
In fact, you might even be finding it hard to articulate what a lack of innovation looks like in your organization, and the stranglehold it has on your growth.
If you’re struggling with feeling like your business is the one being disrupted,
rather than doing the disrupting.
External Pressure
Your industry is outpacing you and business just isn’t working the way it used to. You’re seeing new competitors pop up out of nowhere, and race ahead of you, which is leaving you feeling frustrated about how difficult it is to upscale and compete.
You know you need better processes to stay agile, but you’re not sure how to get there.
Internal Pressure
The mantra from leadership is to innovate, and you get rewarded when innovation is successful. But deep down there’s still a fear holding you back from truly innovative because there’s no risk-tolerance or room for failure built into the business.
You want to roll out creative innovation within the company culture and for your teams, but you’d like a ‘safety net’ of doing it within a proven framework.
Losing Your Best
You pride yourself on being an action-taker, and you’re invested and excited about creating the skills the organization needs, in order to innovate...
but all the vague and conflicting advice on how to translate it into day to day behaviors in the concrete world for every single person on the team is leaving you frustrated and overwhelmed...
Maybe you’re feeling burnt out from trying other unsuccessful solutions?
Or you’re starting to wonder if you’re fighting an unwinnable battle?
There are so many so-called “innovation solutions” that waste time and don’t move the needle in any way.
In a perfect world, you’d have a plan for innovation which is proven to work, yet still flexible enough to fit your organization’s unique situation.
And you’d have a roadmap showing you exactly how to roll out the plan, so your business is future-proofed, regardless of challenges and competition.

The truth is, many training and team-building experiences
don’t address the problem of broken innovation processes into actionable steps.
Imagine instead...
Having processes in place which inspire baked-in cultural change and buy-in to innovation at every level in the organization
All employees enjoying an unshakeable belief that they are creative, and feeling more confident in their teams, and their ability to succeed
Being able to experiment, build out new ideas faster, and assess and develop them as you go, because you’ve got a fail-safe way to innovate
Having an end-to-end blueprint to innovate, from idea to launch
Sounds like you now have the power to create your own future, right?
In fact, it’s the key for viability, regardless of what the economy is doing, or how many competitors come and go.
Here’s the thing: We know this can be your reality, even if you’ve struggled with implementing innovation before.
Hi, we’re Chelsie Hall and Connyre Corbett
We’re sisters and the founders of The Innovative Organization.
Several years ago we realized that our combined skill-sets met a unique and unmet need in the sphere of innovation within companies, ranging from mid-sized, up to Fortune 500’s.
We’re a tech and design strategy think tank, specializing in helping organizations to thrive and empowering employees to be their best, most creative selves. Between us, we have extensive hands-on experience and backgrounds in product management, startup strategy, UX design, empathy and communication specialism, innovation, plus storytelling and film.
We’re known for being able to take the esoteric concept of “innovation”, required as part of effective leadership, and breaking it down into concrete processes and actions that individuals, teams, management, and C-suite members are excited to put into action.
- When Chelsie graduated from Carnegie Mellon with a degree in Integrated Innovation, she realized that their combined skillsets met a unique and unmet need for companies—so they launched a tech and design strategy think tank specializing in helping organizations to be disrupters and empower employees to be their best, most creative selves.
- With their experience in startup strategy, product management, experience design, and empathy/communication initiatives, they’ve upleveled midsized and Fortune 500 companies alike.
- We’re known for being able to take the esoteric concept of “innovation,” required as part of effective leadership, and breaking it down into concrete processes and actions that individuals, teams, management, and C-suite members are excited to put into action.
- Together, we have created hundreds of tools and frameworks to give forward-thinking organizations like yours exactly what they need, so they can say “Aha! There’s a way to solve this problem that we didn’t even consider. Now we can, and the results are unimaginable!”
- We bridge the gap between wanting to innovate and having the tools to put into action to create a better world…and we deliver it to you and your organization in an easy-to-implement solution, freeing you up to focus on what you do best.”
You probably already understand
that when a culture of innovation and creativity isn’t encouraged, it can quickly become a deep-rooted, systemic problem.
And you also know that fixing it is NOT from a lack of trying.
Here's what our ALUMNI have to say...
I am thrilled to be part of building this for [my company] and instilling a deeper culture of innovation that becomes part of our process. And plus, I feel like I finally got to know some of my cross-functional team.
Luke L.
The fact that [my organization] brought in some expert firepower shows that we value innovation and our employees. I feel like Pandora's box has been opened.

This has been the most worthwhile workshop of my career. I am already incorporating the tools into my workflow and even my personal life!

The thing is, it’s hard to keep an upbeat attitude around driving innovation when you’re not seeing positive tangible returns from your efforts.
- You may have already brought in consultants...tried a range of new initiatives...and endured the time-suck of vast numbers of meetings trying to work out a plan to innovate, with nothing to show for it.
- You’re quite nervous, rightfully so, about channeling employees’ time away from their core activities, without getting a solid ROI from the investment.
- When the economy is challenging, trying something new can feel risky, especially when you’ve been burned before by innovation attempts which turned out to be little more than idea generation, with no concrete actions.
If you can relate, let us reassure you, you aren’t alone. These are issues we see A LOT of forward-thinking organizations like yours struggle with.
If you can relate, let us reassure you, you aren’t alone. These are issues we see A LOT of forward-thinking organizations like yours struggle with.
We know the will to be more innovative and creative within your organization is there, but the lack of a proven plan makes it almost impossible to succeed quickly...
The difference between a vague objective for the organization to ‘be more innovative’ and an achievable goal to empower individuals, teams, and the company culture to embody creativity and innovation at every level, is through having...
- A proven process
- A shared language
- And the right frameworks to follow
And the best way to re-energize employees to keep them excited for their future in the organization is to make innovation fun, and show them that it’s a teachable skill with tangible ongoing benefits when they have actionable processes to follow.
