Innovation evangelism - Erehwon

Hi Friends
I have been making this request about innovation evangelists for some time now. Let me fill in the details.
Erehwon Innovation Consulting has been in the exclusive innovation space for almost 2 decades now. Some of the people we have worked with are JP Morgan Chase, Kanbay, Asian Paints, Mahindra & Mahindra, Novartis, Cognizant, Aviva, UB Group, Bharti, Nokia, Ranbaxy, Nerolac, Wipro, I-Flex, Johnson and Johnson, MNYL, Hero Honda, Reliance, Honeywell, Oracle, Infosys, Marico. We typically offer innovation solutions through three practices. Our Leadership for Innovation practice and the Missions practice aim at the organization and are interventions. The Firestarter practice, however, works on the bottoms up groundswell approach and is aimed at individuals. I belong to the Firestarter practice.

It is our core belief that the key to innovation is a Challenger mindset. Walking our talk, we have challenged the existing paradigm of innovation consultancies seen around us. Consequently, our differentiator is -

• Content derived from serious primary research( details can be seen at http://www.erehwonconsulting.com/oth...%20Summary.pdf)

• Context - Indian - something suiting our business context and our very special DNA
• Coverage of not only ideation techniques but all aspects in the journey from concept to realization. Isn't that what differentiates innovation from creativity? Our framework covers -
  • Setting the big challenge
  • Enrolling others in your challenge
  • Conceiving breakthroughs
  • Experimenting & Versioning
  • Combating the inevitable dilution

Our aspiration is profound yet simple - to make India synonymous with innovation in much the same way as Japan has been with Quality.

We are clearly stepping on the gas to achieve our aspiration. Among other things, we are launching Open workshops. Till now, we have restricted ourselves to only in-house work. However, some organisations can spare only a few participants at a time. To cater for their needs, we have planned the first set as per following details
1. Locations - Mumbai - 19 & 20 Aug, Bangalore - 21 & 22 August, Delhi - 4 & 5 Sep, Pune - 9 & 10 Sep, Hyderabad - 16 & 17 Sep, Chennai - 18 & 19 Sep.
2. Investment - Rs 16854/- only per person ( tax inclusive ). Group discounts available.

Here comes my request for evangelism. We need your support . It would not be fair to ask for recommendations so just spread the word to people who could help us achieve our aim. Let them read through, check details with us and take an informed decision.

I am located at Mumbai. The company is headquartered at Bangalore.

If there is anything regarding innovation that I can help you with, do just let me know. Besides it being my career, it is also my passion. I am also working on my synopsis for a Ph D on Innovation.
