“Two years ago – a crossroads in my working life – I was moving from an employed position into freelance work. It was during the Applied Innovation training that I first used the canvases. It was working through the appropriate steps that clarified and then confirmed the best ways forward for me. When I start having doubts or lose focus, I look back at the canvases to remind myself of the process and why I came to the conclusions. Using the process helped me to come to conclusions quickly and accurately.”
Bill Lowe, Executive Consultant, Kestrel Education
“At Director level, I regularly use ‘Define the problem canvas’ – Stage 1 of the Innovation Process, during Executive 1-2-1 coaching sessions. When working through the canvas, the coachee gains clarity on what the real problem is and then is in a position to reframe it with confidence. In a recent coaching session, the canvas simplified their thinking and cut across a complex problem. It allowed the individual to critically think about the next steps for them as an individual and wider to the team.”
Liz Oseland, Trainer and Coach
“The discussions with trainers, consultants and peers, as well as reading the “GRASP” book from Chris, was all so inspirational that I immediately started using the new methodologies I have learned and those helped me a lot in structuring my current company, UpSideUp, as well as supporting the definition of my priorities. What can I say? OpenGenius’ ideas helped me innovate! OpenGenius is a great partner and that’s the kind of partnership I also build between UpSideUp and our customers!”
