Innovate on demand - using what you have
Brand DNA
Let’s come up with coherent and compelling answers to the big questions about your business: Why do you do what you do? Where are you going? What’s in in for the customer? (which customers?), So what for your employees, what do you stand for? Who are you as a brand?
Manage your Value Cycle
The most meaningful and pragmatic way of tackling your marketing strategy is to work through how you manage value from 'understanding' through to 'measuring'. A neat and helpful framework I adapted from my MBA and have used effectively with a range of clients in strategic work.
Creative Strategy & breakthrough thinking
We know we need to be strategic but all too often, our strategic thinking is bound by tools & frameworks that are cognitively distant from the real world and will not lead to the creative solutions we require. Rachel offers robust ways to challenge assumptions and biases in a systematic way, break existing connections and making new ones, harness constraints and even flip problems and threats into resources! It's very exhilarating and growth mindset!
Training
One of the many upsides of SIT is that it is so learnable. Give your teams the skills to harness the SIT method on demand and to understand when to use it with other toolsets. Ask for a training proposal for your company or in your area. See 'Solutions' tab.
Productivity & Processes
When you want to be more productive, you often eliminate something. I tackle productivity & process improvements differently. I will take you down unexplored paths getting to ideas faster.
New Product Development (NPD)
Have me help you to develop new products, challenge or improve existing ones and build an innovation pipeline.
Creative Problem Solving
S.I.T offers a problem solving approach that not only embraces the problem and challenges assumptions but helps push the inventiveness of your ideas further.
Innovation Strategy
I can help you develop an innovation strategy, framework and community that fits your strategy, aspirations and culture.
SIT-type 'Hackathons'
We bring together some of the best components of a 'hackathon' but make them more efficient by using the rigour of thinking tools and the discipline of using what we have. The result is more novel yet viable ideas.
Solutions
Discovery Sessions
If your curiosity is piqued by what you have heard about Systematic Inventive Thinking and you would like a taster for your team, get in touch. We can give you a Lunch & Learn/ short session designed to challenge how a team is approaching certain steps in the innovation process. These are fun and interactive sessions that shift thinking!

Workshop Facilitation
Workshops are a good way to discover the relevance, disruptiveness and efficiency of SIT thinking. Workshops may be discovery days, myth buster session, creative team building sessions or days aimed at triggering fresh thinking in the business. Most SIT workshops are hybrid sessions in that they blend skills and results. If you wish to lean more towards upskilling, look into a training course. If you would like to go for results, consider a more in-depth SIT project. Rachel also runs marketing workshops around the brand and value proposition.

Masterclasses
Masterclasses can serve as discovery or reinforcement sessions for Systematic Inventive Thinking. They can be 1-3 hours and can cover any SIT application: problem solving, productivity, process enhancement. They include a good blend of theory and application.
Face-to-Face Innovation Training
We can design programs around your availability and preferences but courses that have been tried and tested are: - 2-day basic innovation training courses where you learn 3-4 SIT thinking tools and discover our powerful problem solving method through to advanced courses for intrapreneurs and coaches. - 2 x 2-day courses where you learn more facilitation skills and practice mini-sessions - Intensive train-the-trainer courses - mentoring of innovation leads. Get in touch for pricing, logistics and testimonials.

Facilitation skills
Once you have seen the impact of SIT, you are likely to want to build up a community of practice and become self-sufficient in your organisation. We can train up facilitators to get them running mini-sessions and, with practice and mentoring, co-facilitating SIT projects. The 2 x 2-day formula (with 10-day break) is excellent for training internal facilitators and giving them a day of mini-session practice. Don't be fooled, there is an art to getting people past their cognitive bias... This is great for team building too!

Projects may include: Strategic reviews, Pipeline ideation, Marketing strategy for a 'Me Too' or a product launch, Product Innovation, Process improvement, Rethinking a service, Productivity issues and a huge range of problems that require more creative thinking.

Hackathons or Thinkaspaces
Imagine if you could take the best of a hackathon (engaging facilitation, intensity, diverse groups, focus, divergence, convergence, testing and prototyping) but add thinking tools that radically shift your thinking – without resorting to brainstorming! I can facilitate this for you.

The Innovation Wheel
The Innovation Wheel acts as an innovation heatmap for your organisation.
The 5-point scale works in a heatmap where the WARM colours are problematic and the COOLER colours suggest that things are looking good. The scale starts with red where innovation is little more than corporate speak and ends with blue where things are “chilled” and where innovation is integrated across the board.

INNOVER SANS OEILLERESLes biais bizarres qui brident la créativité et comment les dompter
Voici donc un ouvrage qui traite d'un sujet auquel nous avons tous été confronté sans en avoir vraiment conscience et/ou sans pouvoir y apporter de solutions : la pensée bridée par les œillères. Rachel AUDIGE nous fait prendre conscience de ces biais de façon concrète en l'illustrant par des situations précises et vécues, souvent riches d’instructions. Elle nous aide à dépasser ces barrières en nous faisant prendre conscience qu'elles existent spontanément en chacun de nous et nous fait bénéficier de son double regard culturel franco-australien.
Loin des ouvrages trop techniques, trop didactiques et souvent éloignés de ce qui peut être vécu en entreprise, Innover Sans Œillères passe allègrement le défi de la mise en pratique au quotidien. Merci à Rachel AUDIGE pour cette piqûre de rappel : être capable d'étonner, être disponible à être surpris !
Coming Soon.
UNBLINKEREDThe Quirky Biases that get in the way of creative thinking ... and how to bust them
No matter where you are on the creative scale, improving your skills will have a positive effect. What if one of the major impediments to your ability to think creatively and innovate were your unconscious biases? Unblinkered is a playful exploration of 19 blinkers that Rachel has seen at play in her experience as an intrapreneur, driving an innovation community in a corporate and as an innovation trainer and coach . Some of them are well known, others she is calling out and encourages you to recognise them and know when and how to use them and when to lose them.
Systematic Inventive Thinking is a thinking method developed in Tel Aviv in the mid-1990s. Derived from Genrich Altshuller's TRIZ engineering method, the premise of our work is the idea that all innovations share common patterns. Based on these patterns, we have designed a structured method that enables you to innovate not outside but inside the box, using what you already have.
Because we help you scan for fixed thinking, we are relevant to any part of your organisation that might get into a habit of doing things the way they have always been done and need to scan for blind spots to unearth more creative solutions.
We work with you to generate and implement ideas that are both creative and actionable; we teach skills that help you think and act differently in an effective way; and we help you design the structures that will help innovation become consistent, systematic, and reliable throughout the organisation.
Organisations in Australia and New Zealand find S.I.T. impactful because it is more than just a process to follow; it shifts our thinking and gives us a shortcut to a more creative solution. It is:
- Proven, learnable and can be used on demand; - Industry, sector and even department-agnostic *- *Effective in innovating on product pipeline, engineering design, processes, business models; - Able to deliver business impact and viable outcomes using the resources you already have; - Powerful alone and in combination with Lean Six Sigma, Design Thinking, Jobs to be done and Agile - as well as strategy tools such as the Business Model Canvas
