Creating radically relevant products and services that are purposeful.
Innovation Challenge
Co-create with a global community of innovators and experts
Building radically relevant products and services
The organizations that mobilize internal and external networks will be the most innovative, relevant and ultimately successful. Innovation processes designed to generate purpose-driven products and services are built on bringing together a diverse group of co-creators – not only a diversity of demographics, but also disciplines, backgrounds and experience levels.
Innovation that focuses on diversity and purpose
New connections
Gain access to a unique group of co-creators – both from within your organization as well as from our global network of DOers – focused on ideating around your organization’s most pressing challenges.
Co-creation in a new light
Have your internal team experience co-creation in new innovative ways that can further support and inspire your organization.
Validated ideas
Generate validated ideas that can be pushed through faster during the product development phase.
Outcomes depending on what stage of the innovation process you’re in:
- Dream: Multiple concepts, with basic prototyping, ready for validation
- Focus: Multiple MVP’s defined and initial pilot conducted
- Plan: Build a product development strategy and deeper concepts for validation.
- DO: Validated concepts developed into products or services
