“Innovation Arts ran a high energy and stimulating session for us, and their creative approach helped us to focus down rapidly on the key issues. The team also got under the skin of the key dynamics facing our sector in a very short period of time.”
Rupert Egerton-Smith, Head of Strategy & Business Transformation, Linklaters
“Consistently professional and reliable – and their process is immensely successful in surfacing new thinking… I have no hesitation in recommending them highly: they really are at the top of their game.”
John Elkington, Executive Chairman, Volans, and co-founder of SustainAbility
“People left the forum with new insights and a shared understanding of what needed to be done. Without this approach it would have taken months to get the same outcome – if at all.”
Rick Haythornthwaite, Chairman of the Board of Directors, MasterCard Worldwide
“Innovation Arts brings a professional facilitation team that makes it easy for you to create the content you want. Not only do they take the burden of organisation off your shoulders, but they add to the process through constructive insights offered at appropriate moments. I can highly recommend them.”
Dr. Chris Luebkeman, Director of Foresight and Insight, ARUP
“It was probably the best workshop I have ever attended. It was well prepared, smartly designed and nicely facilitated. It managed to get everybody involved, encouraging creativity and exchange. But it also managed to produce what is typically a weak part of workshops: quality and usable output.”
Gerd Leipold, International Executive Director, Greenpeace
“Innovation Arts was creative, flexible and also well-tuned in to ensuring the meeting stayed in line with our business goals and objectives.”
Richard Edelman, President and Chief Executive Officer, Edelman

Design & Decide
Our DesignSessions are large group collaborative sessions that leverage design-thinking. They follow a non-linear flow – with parallel processing – guided by previously agreed objectives. Each session is carefully crafted to ensure we are facilitating stakeholders on a well-managed journey that continuously inspires and stimulates stakeholder creativity and cohesion, ultimately resulting in successful, workable solutions.
Innovation Arts’ DesignSessions are bespoke to each organisation and each challenge and are meticulously prepared in advance with the client based on new insights, new research and agreed objectives. Our process features four key principles:
1: Applied Design Thinking: Through the creation and use of models, underpinned by visualisation, we are able to create, iterate and test ideas until we reach the ideal solution.
2: Whole System Facilitation: Our highly skilled team of strategists, management consultants, designers, advertisers, branding communications experts and artists utilise proven design methods and models that draw on learnings from architecture, business, education, psychology, technology and more.
3. Flexible Physical Environment: We develop the right environment to support an organisation’s bespoke collaborative process. This could be on or off site depending on the number of stakeholders and the availability and suitability of existing space.
4: ‘Critical’ Stakeholders: Many organisational decisions fail to involve one or more critically important stakeholders during its definition and planning. The resulting problems are easily predictable: requirements conflicts and rework, at a minimum; and sometimes more dire consequences. In bringing together large numbers of stakeholders, we simply address this risk head-on.
Participants leave our DesignSessions with clarity, momentum and actionable delivery plans.

Engage & Inspire
Engage & Inspire turns the conversations and plans that you and your teams worked hard to develop into tangible assets such as branding and visual identities, new positioning, websites, newsletters, content pieces or a change to your overall suite of marketing tools. As well as designing a range of communication techniques that are right for your organisation, we also design a robust dissemination program to ensure the new principles developed during your DesignSessions gain traction and impact with your stakeholders.
No more briefings, no more lengthy introductory sessions, no more set-up activities…. We already have a handle on your business and can start creating your story and developing the narrative immediately.
Engage & Inspire is a flexible option. We can either continue naturally from your DesignSessions through into Engage & Inspire planning, or we are well placed to pick up the ball if you’re looking for a stand-alone solution to a branding or a brand communication issue. This may be an analytical piece of work around your brand’s positioning, language or tone of voice, or perhaps a discreet design project to refresh your brand and visual identity. The process is the same, and we are happy to respond to a brief. If there’s no brief, then we will work with you to develop a brief that you are happy with.
Our focus is always on designing solutions that make a real impact. Experience dictates that we can achieve the best outcome for you by stimulating productive thinking through collaborative engagement techniques, co-design, play and visual activities.

Think & Visualise
In a world where attention is becoming scarce, communications must be visual in order to be compelling, as well as to compete with the massive amount of information available to us at any given moment.
We use visual models when complexity needs to be communicated. By making thinking visual, you can communicate across cultures, hierarchies and specific domains. Thus working on a complex problem is made possible, by using many minds that build on each other.
We do this in person, remotely, as a one off, or over a number of working sessions, depending on your needs. We work with our clients to break down complex ideas, and synthesize them into something meaningful, helping them to present data, information and knowledge in a fun and highly engaging way. Our Innovation Artists can help to create your Visual Collateral. We can capture your conversations live through Graphic Recording and create visual communications from infographics, rich pictures and animations, to presentations, training tools and websites. We can bring your conference or event to life, add an extra dimension to your workshop, or we can create engagement in public spaces around your content.

Innovation Arts is a globally-recognised hybrid strategy consultancy and design agency described by GQ as ‘the management consultant of the future’. Our focus is on creating the optimal conditions for diverse groups to solve, together, any complex organisational challenge. When faced with challenging disruptions, from a major new product launch to navigating a merger, the level of complexity demands more than the existing processes can handle. By implementing a design thinking-based approach, we deliver high-quality, sustainable outcomes with less risk, more certainty and in a fraction of the time compared to conventional agency approaches.
We have enjoyed over twenty years of helping business leaders to successfully navigate transformational change and organisational challenges for groups such as Microsoft, eBay, RBS, Sky; The World Economic Forum (Davos), globally for TED and for conflict resolution such as working alongside Tony Blair/John Kerry.
Innovation Arts’ head office is based in London with satellite operations throughout North America and Europe.
Our core team reflects an optimal blend of management consultancy, brand communications and design. Our model: a strong core of expertise supported by a flexible outer structure of niche skill sets means we can provide the right people to support the organisations we choose to work with. We’re a values-based business and passion underpins everything we do. You can count on us for the following:
- Intellect: You learn rapidly and eagerly
- Imagination: You create new ideas that prove useful
- Impact: You accomplish amazing amounts of important work
- High Performance: You care intensely about the success of (y)our business
- Honesty: You are true to yourself and others
