After learning about your company, your goals, and the challenges you currently face, our team helps you to choose an area of focus for the Charette.
IDEAPOP then brings together a uniquely chosen, highly skilled team of professionals with expertise in varying fields whose focus is to come up with unexpected and startling out of the box yet implementable solutions. Depending on your needs – it could be a team comprised of advertising, finance, accountability, and marketing specialists.
We then pair our team with a small and select group from your company. That combined unit makes up the Charette Think Tank. Once assembled, the unit spends a dedicated amount of time focused on solving a specific issue at hand.
By coming at a problem with fresh eyes and exceptional minds, and from a number of different perspectives simultaneously, the results are always surprising, amazing, implementable and highly effective!
Having access and exposure to expertise that isn’t “in house,” gives your entire team a boost, by:
 |
Exposing you to new and fresh ways of thinking. |
|
Utilizing and teaching you new techniques and tools you might not be familiar with. |
|
Creative problem solving in ways you’ve probably never experienced. |
The Charette Think Tank is a great way to scheme about:
|
Creating new products and services. |
|
Developing a new marketing and/or advertising plan. |
|
Targeting a new audience. |
|
Redefining your business space in the marketplace. |
|
Increasing productivity and accountability. |
|
Projections, timelines, or plotting a new direction in the coming years. |
Whatever the issue, this high energy, imaginative, and inventive session is then followed up with practical business analysis to ensure that winning ideas and solutions can be put into action easily, efficiently, and expertly for your company’s success.
The environment created by IDEAPOP for the Charette Think Tank is one of openness, playfulness, and creativity, allowing all parties to feel safe and excited to contribute and participate. The members from your company are also encouraged to brainstorm on solutions and matters that normally may not fall under their scope or their department. 
IDEAPOP principals spend the necessary time getting to know your company and its challenges, as well as your desired goals. We read your materials, meet with internal managers, and sit with owners or principals. From those meetings, we set the intended goals and the desired outcome for the Charette Think Tank.
IDEAPOP then chooses from our all-star list, the consultants who would best be suited to assist.
After setting the date and length of the Charette Think Tank session, you assign an internal brainstorming team that will best collaborate with IDEAPOP’S consultants.
The IDEAPOP all-star consulting team arrives and sets the stage for the session.
We meet with your company’s internally chosen team, and lay out the goals and intentions for the session, setting the desired expectations.
IDEAPOP then explains the process of how the day(s) will unfold.
The combined team spends a highly focused and structured work day(s) bouncing around ideas, utilizing new tools, exploring new concepts, techniques, and practices that may not be common in your industry. By introducing and adding them to your business model, we can open up worlds of opportunities.
The Charette Think Tank then molds these new concepts, ideas, and solutions into immediate, as well as long term, achievable plans and goals.
This becomes your company’s ACTION PLAN.
THIS ACTION PLAN is outlined in your COMPANY DOSSIER.
Immediately following the Charette Think Tank, IDEAPOP compiles all the ideas, solutions, and planning that grew out of the session(s) into your company Dossier. The dossier outlines the ACTION ITEMS, A TIMELINE, and your ACTION PLAN.
It is now up to you and your company to implement these exciting breakthrough ideas into your schedule and culture, and take the recommended actions.
IDEAPOP can continue to CONSULT with your company on a weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis, depending on your needs.
We can also assist you in finding the right consultants or new employees to help you execute your ACTION PLAN (if outside help is needed), and most importantly, keep you committed and on track with your schedule and timeline so you can harvest and maximize the amazing benefits from the experience.
IDEAPOP can also create a specific step by step WORKBOOK as a leave-behind for the division or team responsible for turning the Charette Think Tank ideas into more bottom line success for your company.
