What our clients have to say

About CI Workshops and Simulations

“Collective Invention’s rapid-prototyping simulation was awesome! Hands-on exercises that put us directly in the shoes of entrepreneurs are some of the best learning experiences I've had."

"Collective Invention was amazing and I learned a ton about how to best collaborate with the customer instead of just creating something based on my own biases.“ "Fantastic!"

About the CI Discovery Process

 “The Creative DNA document  that emerged from Collective Invention’s internal discovery process was a most valuable resource and extremely helpful in codifying what makes us who we are."

“We have gone through similar events but this hit home and got to the true essence of our organization."

“The Learning Expedition was fabulous! Every aspect, from the social networking site you created to the sites you chose to visit to the analysis questions… perfect.”

About CI Strategic Facilitation

“Before, we were keeping things at a high level of abstraction. No one could ever be right. ‘Rigor’ meant tearing ideas apart. There was widespread lack of morale; ideas had little traction. We were spending money to learn little that could be actionable and scalable. We had a hard time articulating anything different. We were evolutionary and not revolutionary. Collective Invention sensed that we needed to give people an opportunity to show up and to be creative. You trusted that people were smart and responsible enough to make the right connections. ‘Right’ meant cognitively diverse.”

“The Charrette Process has been a lightning rod for the organization. It’s allowed us to leverage the knowledge of others and build on each others’ ideas.”

“Our ideas began to be shared with the organization with visuals and stories. They engaged the organization to ask questions. When the time was right, all our work spoke for itself.”
