Frequently Asked Questions

Well some of them anyway. Here are a shortlist of the most common questions – but get in touch if you have more.

Innovation questions

What is innovation?

Don’t worry, we’re not going to get really abstract or philosophical! We believe that innovation is a skill that everyone has, and it’s the lifeblood of every great organisation.

If you think you ‘can’t be innovative’ or ‘can’t do innovation’, we’d (respectfully) disagree because you are a great innovator, you just might not know it yet. Innovation is simply doing something new for you, that gets value for you / your company. Our approach using the Six I’s of InnovationⓇ model can help you to build innovation into your culture and work to your individual strengths.

Innovators say…

What are the Six I’s of Innovation?

You can find a full description of the Six I’s of InnovationⓇ model here, but to summarise, it’s a methodology that recognises the innovation potential in each individual person.

Rather than being purely theory-based and classifying people’s personalities, this model is all about the human perspective – putting purpose at the centre, the model lets us progress through 6 distinct stages of the innovation process to understand our ‘why’!

Who we work with, and how

Who do you work with?

Put simply (or perhaps, too simply), we work with businesses looking to change so that they can start getting value from their ideas and making new things happen.

We’ve worked with a range of businesses – small, medium, large – and we haven’t niched down to just one type of business because we believe our approach works with any business looking to innovate.

If we wanted to be extra fancy about it, we’d say that we’re industry agnostic because we don’t specialise in a specific industry… we just specialise in unlocking your team’s innovation potential.

Do you offer remote training?

Though we do offer virtual training, we’d generally only recommend this for teams that work across different time zones and locations.

Long story short, we’d just love to see you and your team in person! We find it’s the best way to truly involve everyone in the discussion and make the training as engaging as possible.

Levels of training and contact

Do you offer different tiers or levels of training?

Our training is bespoke and made to match to your needs, so we don’t separate our services into levels or different tiers because it’s unique to you. Instead of struggling to see how a training programme encompasses your needs, the training is based on your needs.

How should we get in touch?

We’d love to hear from you!

You can book a 30-minute meeting via video call with Neil by clicking here and selecting a date and time.

Questions about NLP

What is NLP?

NLP or “Neurolinguistic Programming” is an approach to understanding human communication and behaviour, created by the modelling (observation and testing) of specific techniques used by Virginia Satir and Milton Erickson in therapeutic settings, along with extensive practical research of theorists like Noam Chomsky and the Psychoanalyst Carl Jung. We could go on for a while at this point – get in touch if you want the full lowdown.

The best bit is that it is conversational, and content free – we don’t need to know “what” isn’t working for you in order to help you with it. We use one of our favourite models from the NLP canon “Robert Dilts‘ Neurological Levels” as our map and compass to get you where you want to be.

How long does it take?

We combine NLP in a lot of our approaches anyway, but for coaching scenarios and depending on the ‘presenting problem’ it can usually require six sessions.
