Hello, we are the 'Innovation Company'.
We help clients to rapidly improve sales, marketing, collaboration, and productivity through innovation consultancy.
To help with business growth, things that we typically do for our clients result in: many new customers, much higher revenue per client, existing customers are more trusting, huge productivity and collaboration improvements between employees, and organisations that become fresh and relevant again.
If you would like to see a case study about how we work, then you will find our work with Apex useful. Our work on the strategy for 5GHB, a 5G broadband comparison engine is also shaping up quite well.
We have also created the largest collection of innovation questions and answers on the internet.
Through our professional boutique innovation consultancy, strategy, insight and technology, we advise businesses to 'stay ahead of being relevant'. From our north west and London offices, we create a culture of innovative behaviours for our UK and overseas customers.
Are you truly relevant in your sector/industry?
Answer the thought provoking questions below.
- Are you truly looking after the customers you worked so hard to acquire?
- Are you producing leading content and distributing it to influential prospects and industry voices?
- Is your key product/service truly understood and known by buyers?
- Does your business have metronomic procedures that work to gain you business while you are asleep?
- Do key people in the sector wish they could work for your firm?
- Is your company profile so sharp that people are contacting you frequently for your opinion of news within the industry?
These are just some of the issues we address on the road to making your company a relevant part of your sector.
Once your company is truly relevant to:
- existing customers that you currently don't contact enough
- leading buyers of your product/service
- industry voices that can quickly elevate new products/services to buyers...
...we then begin further consultancy to future-proof your business for impending industry transformations.

Who are you and what's the best way for us to know how to help your business become more of an innovator?
I'm a director of the company
- I'm here because I know that my company needs to be more innovative in looking after our existing customers and gaining more business, but we just never get the time.
- There's loads of ways we could be more innovative and need external innovation consultancy to show me the great stuff I know is under my nose.
- I'd like to become more of an innovative leader and create innovationism throughout the business.
I'm Head of Innovation
- I'm always learning from others and I think outsourced innovation strategies would help in what I'm tasked to do.
- I'd be interested to know more about HiveMind and how it can help me to rapidly solve problems and create innovative strategies.
I'm the 'clever person' at the company, but innovation isn't in my job title.
- Help! I'm snowed under and the company wants me to 'be more innovative'.
- Some form of structure to how the company approaches innovations would help me.
- I'd like the business to understand that innovation needs to be taken seriously now.
What being innovative mean to us?
We were asked during an industry conference panel, "what does innovation mean to you?".
When you think of innovation, these words may come to mind: unconventionality, renovation, reorganisation, advancing, invention, leading-edge, pioneer, change, transformation, restructuring, modernisation, restyling, alteration, metamorphosis, rearrangement...
...but to us, the word relevant is extremely important when thinking about and offering advice. Because being relevant is the foundation level that allows for innovationism to take hold. If a business is not relevant to its customers, then becoming innovative will be extremely hard indeed and in most cases, wasteful at best.
We think of innovating as two stages -
- firstly, being (or becoming) relevant to the marketplace
- secondly, innovating from the platform of marketplace relevancy
So our answer to this question was, "innovation means staying ahead of being relevant". And as an innovation agency, we help our clients to become more relevant with customers and help them to innovate to win better customers.
Innovation: Something introduced that is new or different. From the mid-15th century, meaning "restoration, renewal" and from the Latin, innovationem. If you checked the history of an industry, such as vaping, you would find myriad innovations, idea spurts, and patent wars.
Just some of the innovating companies that we currently work with are Manchester skip hire firm, Sheridan Skips, software and collaboration giants, Microsoft, Manchester SEO experts, Embryo, and food manufacturing recruitment specialist, Silven who are doing some very innovative things recently.
