“Ethnovation”
We consider an ethnographic study to be a critical part of the innovative
organization’s process. The output should be communicated
effectively and may we suggest, marketed internally to maximize it's
impact.
Our process and
deliverables helps your team create and share their discoveries throughout the
organization enhancing organizational learning and innovation success.

A primary reason for conducting an ethnographic study is to establish
new insights or ways to looking at the market, the consumer, or the
customer to drive innovation. However, there is a problem.
It's well known that changing deeply rooted existing mental models
is a major organizational barrier
to innovation.
Our process and deliverables are designed to help
overcome that problem. We provide a menu of highly effective ways for
creating and sharing the new knowledge regarding the focus of the
study. These range from using a highly participatory data
collection process where client team members get into the field with us
if they are available, to production quality digital video documentaries prepared by our seasoned TV and documentary producer.
Our deliverables create new mental models that encourage innovation team
cohesion, cross organizational understanding and buy-in for the
discoveries, clarifying innovation direction and implementation.
Our process and deliverables can include some or all of
the following items:
-
Top-line reports with quick written feedback
-
Final reports with an executive summary and detailed findings in Word
and PowerPoint formats
-
Participatory data collection process allowing client team members into
