Who is Innovation Monkey?
At Innovation Monkey we help you to generate, capture and manage your company’s intellectual property. We focus on inventors and their managers. We help management to articulate their strategic vision and translate that vision into an actionable strategy. We help focus current inventors on the strategic targets of their team and we help to turn potential inventors into actual inventors. We teach you methodologies for increasing your idea capture going forward.
Idea Harvesting
If you are not capturing ideas from your team, how do you capture them? If you are capturing ideas, how do you capture more ideas? How do you improve the quality of the ideas that you are getting? We’ve studied the art and science of idea capture and created workshops that help to both train inventors and capture ideas. Workshops produce completed invention disclosures, which can be used to evaluate employees’ ideas. Innovation workshops take place over 1 or 2 days. Completed invention disclosures can be used as the basis of patent applications or to drive additional feature work.
Strategic Targeting
How do you ensure that you are capturing the right ideas from your team? How do you determine that you are investing your limited resources in the best ideas from your team? How do you prevent unintentional bias from affecting your prioritization decisions? How do you determine which ideas to implement, patent, publish, trade secret or ignore? We’ve worked with team leaders to help them to generate strategies and tactics to better navigate the uncertainty intellectual property management. Strategy workshops help companies to capture strategic ideas in an actionable format.
