About Us
Agile Innovating boosts the total innovating experience for organizations that struggle with innovating and need innovation now.
Agile Innovating ™ is a novel systemic practice that integrates prominent innovating methodologies and proprietary techniques, the best elements of the Agile Software Development process, and the waste reduction focus of Lean Manufacturing.
Agile Innovating ™ systematically reduces the trouble caused by uncertainty, slow development velocity, and resistance to change. A-I delivers more innovation faster, making innovation the norm.
Agile Innovating organizes its client interactions and work as a project, based upon a service delivery model of Do, Demonstrate, Deploy.
The Agile Innovating service delivery model helps ensure that Innovation becomes the norm instead of the exception.
