Questions It.
Innovation doesn't start with answers—it starts with better questions. Most leaders ask "How do we improve this?" when they should be asking "What if we reimagined everything?" At The Innovators Studio, we teach you the Box Think™ methodology that Phil McKinney developed through decades of breakthrough decisions. Learn to question assumptions, challenge conventional wisdom, and uncover the breakthrough opportunities hiding in plain sight.
-
Decide it.
The graveyard of innovation is filled with good ideas that died from bad decisions. Whether you're choosing between competing technologies, evaluating market opportunities, or deciding when to pivot, the frameworks you use determine your success. Phil shares the decision-making tools that guided billion-dollar choices at HP and breakthrough innovations at CableLabs. Stop gambling with gut instinct and start making decisions with proven frameworks.
-
Test it.
Ideas without validation are just expensive experiments waiting to fail. At The Innovators Studio, we guide you through rapid prototyping, hypothesis testing, and fail-fast methodologies that Phil has refined through hundreds of innovation projects. Learn to validate assumptions quickly, gather meaningful feedback, and iterate toward breakthrough solutions. Whether it's a new product concept or organizational transformation, we'll help you test your way to success.
-
Build it.
Moving from concept to reality requires more than good intentions—it demands systematic execution and breakthrough thinking. Our studio experiences combine hands-on workshops with real-world application, helping you build not just products or services, but sustainable innovation capabilities. From the Colorado ranch studio to virtual collaboration sessions, we provide the environment and expertise to turn your breakthrough ideas into market reality.
-
Scale it.
Breakthrough innovations die when they can't scale beyond their creators. Phil has seen brilliant innovations fail because teams couldn't navigate the complexities of organizational adoption, market expansion, and systematic growth. Whether you're scaling a startup or transforming an enterprise, we provide the strategic frameworks and hands-on guidance to help your innovation reach its full potential without losing its breakthrough essence.
-
Transform it.
True innovation isn't just about creating something new—it's about fundamentally changing how people think, work, and live. At The Innovators Studio, we help leaders and organizations undergo the deeper transformation required for sustained innovation success. Through executive mentoring, organizational assessment, and culture change programs, we guide you beyond incremental improvements toward breakthrough transformation that creates lasting competitive advantage.
