Innovate Wisely™ helps you unlock the potential of your organisation so that your ideas become real to create the IMPACT you desire
Innovation is required to create the change you need to solve a problem and to make IMPACT. However, innovation is complex and full of uncertainty. Existing systems do not cater for either complexity or uncertainty which makes innovation difficult and risky.
Innovate Wisely has developed The InnoWise™ framework which is designed to unlock the full potential of your idea, your innovation. It is designed to address the complex and the uncertain, thus de-risking innovation.
InnoWise™ is a unique framework because for the first time, innovation processes are brought together with an understanding of knowledge behaviours and mechanisms. Further to this, we use trust and momentum to help us measure and manage progress rather than traditional means of using time, cost, scope.
InnoWise™ is a four step process
Using the InnoWise™ framework ensures valuable resources are not wasted by using measures designed for uncertainty.
Using our tools allows teams to be regularly informed with valuable insights to make informed decisions.
Our tools are designed to be lead indicators: so your team will be working on the right thing at the right time.
- 1FORM a new idea and identify the knowledge gap
- 2CREATE the innovation and the new knowledge
- 3ADOPT the new solution and new knowledge
- 4CRITIQUE for continuous improvement and growth

The Knowledge Canvas™
Innovate Wisely™ has developed the Knowledge Canvas™, with a step-step by guide to plan how your idea will proceed through the four stages of the InnoWise™ process, from ideation through to full realisation.
How?
The Knowledge Canvas™ is an interactive platform accessed through the online InnoWise™ app portal.
The Canvas guides you through each step:
- Form, Create, Adopt & Critique.
The Canvas asks questions about the idea, the solution & the knowledge aspects that are vital for your initiative to be successful.
Why?
Planning how your idea will proceed to full realisation will have uncertainties to overcome.
Using standard project management tools may miss the connection with knowledge and may not allow for continuous improvement.
You may also miss a valuable step of analysing the feedback and checking the level of adoption.
The Knowledge Canvas™ makes innovation easy.
The Knowledge Canvas™ provides you with:
- a systematic and comprehensive approach to planning innovations that addresses: knowledge, trust and energy
- a platform to document how you will manage and address trust and energy blockers
- an easy to use communication tool to share the new knowledge that has been created.
Turning your idea into reality requires trust & energy.
- It takes energy to affect change: ie, resources, stamina, and money.
- It requires trust: the problem is worth solving, the solution will work, and collaborators are on board and have the right capability.
How?
The Trust Analyser™ is a survey-based system designed to measure trust & energy at each of the four stages of the initiative’s development.
The answers are analysed using the latest AI technology (trained on real case history). The output is a report that provides a trust and energy score along with recommendations that require attention.
Why?
The Trust Analyser™ provides you with valuable insights before your time, budget or scope are misaligned.
By addressing the roadblocks early, you can adapt or change your strategy.
The Trust Analyser™ reduces the risk of innovating.

Innovation is like a necessary evil. The statistics suggest it carries significant risk due to measures that highlight failure. This extent of failure creates enormous waste of time and resources. It also creates a feeling of negativity, because no one wants to fail.
What if we turn that mindset around and focus on the learnings not the failures?
Instead of 95% failure, what if we had 95% of our projects lead to learnings. Doesn’t that sound better?
What if we have measures that change the way we measure expectations?
What if you had a system that did this but also helped innovations succeed?
The InnoWise™ framework is that system.
The InnoWise™ framework helps you turn that mindset around by using measures that are focussed on knowledge, trust and momentum instead of the standard measures of time, cost and scope. Those measures do not work as innovation is full of uncertainty. Using those measures sets your team up for failure.
The InnoWise™ framework ensures you capture and manage the knowledge in a way that suits innovation to address uncertainty and to uncover the next opportunity for growth. The process creates growth in capability.
The InnoWise™ tools are carefully crafted to guide you through the process in a step by step, methodical, easy to use manner.
The framework and tools are based on 10 years of University level research and is published in peer-reviewed journals that brings together innovation and knowledge into one approach. At the centre of the framework is ‘Trust and Energy’. These behaviours affect each stage. Hence, the importance to measure often.
