An Innovate-A-thon is a series of complementary team activities for creating something new and better ... an innovation! (The "something" could be a product, service, process ...)
Innovate-A-thon participants collaborate to reach a goal in a predetermined period of time. An independent, neutral facilitator/mentor keeps the team focused, productive, and the process on-track and on-time.
Participants receive a solid fundamental review of core creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurial-thinking principles.
The Innovate-A-thon principles have been refined through successful application in a variety of companies, business development support groups, nonprofit associations, colleges and universities, and other organizations
An Innovate-A-thon program can be custom-structured to fit the needs of a particular group, organization, or company, as well as at a variety of instructional and participation levels. Typically, an Innovate-A-thon consists of 5 to 15 participants, a neutral mentor that leads the progress of the event, 10 to 20 hours over 2 to 4 sessions.
