Innovation/New Product Development Process

• Process Mapping – Cross functional process development from buy-in from your whole team

• System Recommendation and Selection – Review and select technology and systems that facilitate and automate your process

• Customized – Customized to your industry, products, and specific innovation challenges
• Interactive – We use break out and large group exercises to engage the team
• Dynamic- We utilize a broad variety of industry leading tools to inspire creativity and new ideas

We’re big believers in basing ideas, innovation and strategy on customers.   

Internal Ideation Workshops – We use customer research as the basis for your cross-functional team workshop so that ideas are based on customer and market need and gaps. Through quotes, video diaries, customer  personas and more your team is able to put themselves in the customer mindset.

Customer Ideation Summits – We bring real customers together for ideation sessions. Our team recruits actual customers bringing them together in a relaxed forum to ideate for you.

Innovation Campaigns

We develop and facilitate online innovation campaigns designed to either engage your  internal team and/or your customers and target market. Our innovation campaigns are based on our partner platform, Webstorm, and they are easy to use, easy to implement, and encourage a high level of engagement from participants.

Our Toolkit

The Clearworks team has access to a wide variety of industry leading tools that we utilize in our ideation and innovation work. Some of our leading partners and tool providers include:

With our partners at Innovation Games, we’ve designed a few online versions of our custom in-person games.

Crystal Ball

Want to know what your customer’s ideal experience with your company would be? Our Crystal Ball game is one of the fun ways we gather those insights. We use the game during our innovation workshops to engage with your customers to find out what they want out of an experience and sometimes help them discover things they did not even realize that they wanted.

Blog Post

Developing a new product and want to know what features or functionality your customers think would be great? The Blog Post game is one of the games we use in our workshops to get your customers talking about their perfect product. The form and structure of the game provide the framework for a valuable discussion during which we are able to gain rich insights into what they really want.
