The Idea Factory: Discover a Place for Your Ideas
Steve Harvill | President and CEO, Creative Ventures
Companies don't suffer from a lack of ideas, they suffer from not knowing how to make them impactful. They lack processes for developing, implementing and measuring ideas. In fact, according to the Maurer Group, 78 percent of companies have no ideas system at all. This leads to an average failure rate of 70 percent for launching new ideas. 70 percent!
Ideas vanish from a lack of understanding, a lack of agreement and an utter lack of engagement. For 30 years, Steve has been in the business of creating and developing ideas. He finds his success in The Idea Factory, a simple, efficient and repeatable process for providing a systemic approach to developing ideas. The Idea Factory provides a place for ideas to take form, discover function and, through a committed process, find value.
