(BCI) has constructed

an ecosystem to engage

and empower.

Once an idea is closer to being market ready, submit it to one of the our internal pitch events. With Combustion

Chambers twice a year and Ideas Festival once a year, our employees have three big opportunities annually to

share ideas with firm leadership and get support (coaching, mentoring, investment, market connections) to take

your solution to market.

Prepare Your Mind

What is innovation and why is it important?

Innovation creates new value –matching an original

problem with a creative solution. It can be seen in new

products, in improved services, in integrated technologies,

or even a simple idea. Being innovative is how we as a firm

generate growth and improve our competitive advantage.

The first step to innovation is training your brain to look at

existing concepts from new perspectives.

- Understand the different types of Innovation

- Get Involved!!

Prepare Your Team

What makes a team innovative?

An innovative team draws from their common knowledge,

relationships, insights, and experiences to generate growth

and deliver new value to their clients. Creating a collaborative

environment will position your team to think big, experiment,

and build original ideas that solve your clients’ greatest

challenges. This step focuses on how to improve trust, engage

with colleagues, celebrate diverse perspectives, and give and

receive effective feedback.

- Create an Innovative Team

- Connect with Your Team in Person

- Connect with Your Team Virtually

- Inspire Innovation within the Team

Define Your Problem

How do you define and solve the right

problem, and why is it so critical to your work?

Our clients/customers rely on us to solve their most critical,

complex, and original challenges. This starts with a genuine

appreciation for their problems, which may differ from their

beliefs. Getting to—and defining—the root cause of their

problem allows us to match it with the right solution, rather

than merely treat the symptoms.

- Understand the Problem Solving Lifecycle

- Identify a Problem

- Deconstruct a Problem

Generate Ideas

How should you generate ideas and what

tools and events exist to spur innovation?

Idea generation is the process of devising ideas that are new or

repurposed from existing solutions. It requires thinking critically

and creatively to connect the dots between diverse sources of

inspiration and the problem at hand. Collaborating and sharing

your knowledge, expertise, and experience is an essential

component to developing original ideas. This step focuses on

thinking differently, providing structured ways to create new

ideas, and how to speak up to get your ideas heard--both in

person and virtually.

- Generate Ideas In Person

- Generate Ideas Virtually – Leverage beyond traditional

boundaries

- Pitch Ideas

Build Solutions

How should you select the right ideas

and bring them to market?

As agile and dedicated problem solvers we want to deliver

exceptional results to our clients. Defining the problem and

generating ideas are only the beginning of solving these tough

problems. To fully realize an idea or concept and bring it to

market, it must be developed, matured, and tested. This step

focused on how to evaluate, market, and get the resources

necessary to build a business around your idea.

- Screen and Evaluate Ideas

- Market and Sell Your Idea

- Get Funding and Resources for Your Idea
