Often, innovation training can feel inspiring, but it also needs to result in genuine changes in how things are done once busy employees get back to their desks. We’ve built the Innovation Gym program to deliver rapid results with a visible impact on clients bottom lines. The Innovation Gym supports R&D teams through every part of the innovation journey from understanding users to creating ideas, developing products and activating in market

Expert Training, Instant Impact

A Neuroscience-backed Approach

The programme features two-hour live sessions with teams of five, the optimum team size to maximise interactivity. The expert trainers use real world case studies, allowing participants to engage and ‘learn by doing’. There are ‘warm up’ and ‘cool down’ activities and the participants leave with a concrete toolkit and actionable insights that can be instantly reapplied to their projects. 

“We believe that you can’t just go to the gym and expect results if you just watch a gym instructor do the exercises. You need to do the reps and feel the burn to reap the gains”

Deirdre, Co-founder of Untapped Innovation

Bridging the Training Gap 

Classroom-based training is intensive and potent, but it’s time-consuming and costly, pulling employees away from their regular tasks and ultimately introducing a major productivity cost. On the other hand, self-directed micro-learning offers flexibility but lacks engagement, leading to lower retention rates. The Innovation Gym approach addresses the limitations of both traditional and micro-learning training by providing an innovative framework that equips and up-skills R&D teams.

“By learning with the help of experts, using relevant and practical case studies, participants gain real world applicability”

Suzanne, Co-founder of Untapped Innovation

An Innovative Framework for Success

The core principe we harnessed in the creation of the Innovation Gym is applying concepts in neuroscience to break down innovation training into easily digestible circuits to overcome the time and budget constraints of classroom-based training options whilst providing hands-on exercises for better retentions. The programme is consistently highly rated, with 100% repeat rates from all our clients. 

“Writing the programme’s curriculum has benefitted the core consulting services and allowed us to refine our methodologies continuing the journey of breakthrough innovation”

Sally, Co-founder of Untapped Innovation

As highlighted by Business Insider, the Innovation Gym is more than just a training —it’s a transformative programme that empowers teams to innovate effectively. In today’s competitive market, the ability to adapt and drive impact is crucial.
