By breaking down the barriers between you and your consumers, you’re exposed to bold thinking that goes way beyond the typical focus group.
Our Innovationists™ have collectively facilitated over 5000 hours of ideation sessions. We've worked across a wide range of categories and covered a broad spectrum of creative-problem solving challenges. Here are some examples of who we've worked with, delivering them a range of innovative solutions.

As change agents, NowVation™ is committed to doing its part to make this world a more productive, creative, and happier place for all. It was in this spirit that NowVation™ fully embraced the opportunity to work with the Agahozo Shalom Youth Village (ASYV) in rural Rwanda.
ASYV is a magical place that was built from scratch a couple of years ago in order to provide a home, education, and hope for teen survivors of the devastating 1994 Rwandan genocide. To learn more about this amazing initiative, visit: www.asyv.org
By adopting many of the creative problem-solving and ideation techniques commonly used by NowVation™, the ASYV management team members from New York, Israel, and Rwanda, worked over five days on site in December, 2009. The result of this facilitated process was a comprehensive ASYV strategic plan for 2010 and beyond that has now been internalized by the entire organization.
It was an extremely productive and rewarding experience that really brought to life the power of innovative thinking and the ability of a small group of humans to make a world of difference.
