Assessments and Roadmaps
Assessing culture is often the first step toward understanding how to encourage innovation in an organization. Culture incorporates the attitudes, behaviors, and norms that affect how work is done. A cultural assessment evaluates up to twelve different aspects of the work environment. Conducting a cultural assessment often involves interviews, observation, reviewing key documentation, focus groups, and surveys. Every organization is different so the approach to complete the assessment will vary. Our team can work with you to create an assessment that meets your objectives. Based on the assessment outcomes, we can help you define a roadmap and plan to achieve results. We'll help you prioritize improvement opportunities to set realistic targets, create shared ownership of the plan, and maximize your return.

Consulting and Training
Encouraging innovation is not as simple as it may seem. Teams often operate within the boundaries set by an organization. Stepping outside of the box may be encouraged verbally but polices, practices, and systems that exist within a company often discourage true innovation. It can be difficult to spot the practices that don't align with encouraging innovation. Sometimes you just need a little help to figure out the path forward. We can help you understand the steps needed to create a culture that embraces innovation. We embed cultural acceptance and adoption planning into our consulting approach to ensure the organization is prepared to embrace the change that is needed for success.

Facilitating Innovative Solutions
It is not unusual for an organization to 'get stuck' when looking at a complex problem or situation. People move on to something else to delay addressing the issue. Often these situations involve cross functional teams, processes, technology, and/or politics. Sometimes it is just difficult to see an effective way of addressing the problem. Avoiding the situation usually has a cost such as lost opportunities, a less than optimal customer experience, a decline in employee morale, and/or additional funding requirements. At AdOPT, we can facilitate resolving these situations. By using structured problem solving, design thinking techniques, and decision making processes, we can help you identify the right problem, create an innovative solution, and gain consensus on the path forward. Whether you have an operational issue, project challenge, process problem, or you need an outside facilitator to help you with a sticky situation, we can help.
