Innovative Concepts, Inc. (ICI) was founded in 1985 by two engineers from M/A-COM Linkabit. In its early years, ICI focused on satellite programs. ICI developed custom solutions for the United States Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) on space based projects including the Deep Space Program Science Experiment (DSPSE), Naval Earth Map Observer (NEMO), and Special Sensor Ultraviolet Limb Imager (SSULI). ICI also developed the Iridium Constellation Side Emulator (CSE).
In 1991, ICI developed the Improved Data Modem (IDM) which was fielded on the several aircraft including the F-16, AH-64D Apache Longbow, OH-58 Kiowa Warrior, UH-60 Blackhawk, and CH-47 Chinook. In 1999, ICI developed the Personal Computer Improved Data Modem (PCIDM), which was used by Air Force Tactical Air Control Parties (TACPs) to relay targeting information to aircraft including the F/A-18, F-16, and AV-8B.
In 2005, ICI was acquired by Herley Industries, Inc. (Nasdaq: HRLY).
In 2008, ICI was acquired by Elbit Systems of America (ESA), which is owned by Elbit Systems Limited (Nasdaq: ESLT).
Solutions Driven is a Hiring Partner Built for Roles You Can’t Afford to Get Wrong.
Most organisations don’t have a talent shortage - they have a hiring risk and consistency problem. Hiring is still too often delivered through inconsistent processes, subjective decision-making, and models that lack true accountability. The result is predictable: nearly one in two hires fail within 18 months, slowing growth, increasing risk, and impacting performance.
We believe Hiring Deserves Better.
At Solutions Driven, we help organisations move from inconsistent hiring to predictable, right-first-time outcomes. Our approach is built around our Hiring Operating System - a human-led, data-informed framework designed to remove failure points, assess long-term fit, and deliver consistency at scale. This combines our 6S process for structured search, 6F methodology for predicting long-term success, and 6E framework for delivering performance across complex or high-volume hiring environments.
We apply this consistently across three core solutions:
Search for critical individual hires
Exec for senior leadership and C-suite roles
Embedded for organisations with ongoing or multi-region hiring needs
One partner. Every critical hire. Any model.
A key part of our approach is accountability. We don’t ask clients to absorb the risk - we share it. With 12–18 month guarantees and a 97% right-first-time hiring rate, our model is designed to deliver outcomes, not just activity. This isn’t confidence; it’s accountability, with real skin in the game.
We work globally across sectors where hiring matters most, including industrial and engineering, energy and infrastructure, life sciences, and advanced technology - environments where the cost of getting hiring wrong is high and the need for consistency is critical.
If hiring is critical to your business, it’s worth doing differently.
