WHY RAINFOREST?
The science of innovation is the science of human systems, which are biological. Innovation cultures require the language of living systems. Rainforest ecosystem behavior is analogous to human innovation ecosystems. For an overview of why we call innovation ecosystems “Rainforests” go here. To learn more about the science of innovation underpinning that analogy see our publications here.

APPROACHES TO IMPROVEMENT
We Measure. Our Rainforest Scorecard innovation assessment has been used by thousands of individuals, including groups from discrete companies up to bi-national regions. The Rainforest Scorecard measures the strength of six classes of performance drivers in innovation ecosystems. The assessment reveals strengths and improvement opportunities, and enables collaborative design and prioritization of innovation initiatives.
We Facilitate. Innovation ecosystems function through multi-stakeholder collaborations. Our accelerated collaboration processes address strategy, leadership, and culture development, and can range in size from a small leadership team to 1000’s of diverse stakeholders.
We Educate. Rainforest Strategies provides educational programming and materials on the strategy, leadership, and culture of innovation. Our curricula are based on the science of innovation and good practices in strategic management and leadership.
We Coach. Leading innovation, and being in innovative states, requires a different mindset than one focused on production, precision, and predictability. Coaching helps those charged with leading an innovation culture to develop the mental and emotional flexibility necessary for innovation breakthroughs.
