• INNOVATION DEFINED

Ideation, Strategic Thinking, Complex Problem Solving

The heart of Innovation is THINKING. Deep Thinking and Re-THINKING. The Innovation process forges powerful new strategies through the process of idea generation. Business innovation begins with focused creativity and idealization for the purpose of increasing value.

Our model of facilitating teams produces the game-changing breakthroughs and solutions to form the basis for an Innovation Action Plan. Petrotech Innovative Technology Center facilitates creative idealization as well as providing the industry expertise to help your organization develop strategies and solutions. Your team will return to the workplace with the solutions they need together with a clear understanding of the resources and steps required to implement the plan.

Open innovation occurs when individuals look for solutions outside of their own organization and industry.

New ideas, opportunities, new ways of seeing and imagining what your business can become will not be discernible from inside that bubble. Creative powers can be fragmented by too many interruptions and too little time to think. Too often the focus becomes the URGENT, rather than that which is truly IMPORTANT.

Petrotech Innovative Technology center is a facility uniquely designed for one purpose — to facilitate breakthrough business innovation in an environment where your team's thinking will flourish.

What innovation is NOT..... it is not just a great idea. Businesses must make profits to survive. If an idea offers no market value or bottom-line improvement for operations, then it is simply an idea. It is not innovation. Professional facilitation keeps innovation on track.

RESULTS COUNT

Clever solutions and repeated success in 'seeing' the answers quickly have earned Petrotech Innovative Technology, a reputation in creative problem solving.
