Our mission to put high performance, heart and humanity back into programmes of change and leadership development, began in 1996.
We work with many large household names in the UK and internationally, helping clients deliver authentic, inspiring leadership and change programmes that have transformed business performance and have had a measurable impact on their leaders, teams and employees. What we do for our clients really does make a difference. And we can prove it.
Ideas people all have established track records across a variety of disciplines, a commercial approach and considerable talent in our field. This means that we are able to provide highly tailored teams that deliver inspiring and measurably effective programmes. We are responsive, scalable and have the agility to change and move with you as you evolve.
The common trait of Ideas people is our Uncommon Insight. When we work with clients we aim to listen, engage and see what’s really needed. We don’t believe in fads and bandwagons – even so called ‘best practice’ should be approached with caution. Sometimes you really need to do the simple things and get them right. When you come to us, you are looking for a difference. Our ability is instinctively to see what difference you need to make and understand what it will take to make that difference. Our insight gives us the confidence to challenge the status quo, disrupt the norm and help you break old habits. What’s uncommon about it? It takes a mixture of experience, intellect, intuition and guts – those are hard things to find in one consultant and even harder to sustain as values in a consulting business. We’re proud to have sustained them so far, and never more so than when our clients tell us that we really do walk our talk.
The Idea Factory provides services focused on transforming the corporate innovation process, taking into account the velocity required to thrive in the New Corporate Eco-system. Our unique products and services have been thoroughly developed, tested and refined during the past three years with over two dozen of the world's most significant companies. In our workshops, we weave together talent, ideas and facilities to enable participant involvement and foster innovative solutions focused on a particular task, project or strategy. Workshops serve to raise awareness within the client and can serve as a catalyst for change, usually applied for client's strategy sessions. We also serve as an outsourced innovation department, creating a blueprint for new business ventures built around a customer-centric vision of the future.
