Arizona Innovation Institute

The Arizona Innovation Institute presents a collaboration with Dr. George Land and FarSight Group, Inc., an Arizona firm with decades of experience helping organizations innovate. Dr. Land is a Pulitzer Prize Nominee for his work in Transformation Theory and his book “Grow or Die.” He has pioneered and mastered the combination of innovation methodologies and collaborative decision-making technologies. These approaches have been used successfully with over 100 organizations. The Arizona Innovation Institute now brings this proprietary, systematic approach to Arizona, for new product, service and front/back-end process innovations.

The Arizona Innovation Institute delivers more than skills for new product development; it addresses Innovation by developing new ways to discover important and emerging customer needs, processes for creating business strategy, and methods for creating breakthrough innovative solutions to existing business problems.

We are facing changes that cannot be addressed with traditional methods, because change itself has changed. We no longer face incremental, predictable changes, but massive unprecedented shifts. Many solutions that worked in the past now simply cause more problems. A whole new perspective is needed to successfully approach this new era.

The Institute's Innovation methodology has been successfully applied to multiple business applications including:

  • New Market Identification
  • Manufacturing
  • New Product Development
  • Product Delivery

  • Customer Service
  • Organizational Design
  • Sales and Marketing
  • IT and Process Alignment
Those who should attend the Arizona Innovation Institute programs include:

  • Executive Leaders
  • Business Unit and Product Line Leaders
  • Profit and Loss Responsibility

  • Research and Development
  • Any Employee Who can Contribute to Innovation
The Arizona Innovation Institute will develop creative thinking skills and decision making methodologies through our classroom offerings (employee skill development) and also through on-site sessions for specific client needs. For either approach, the Institute will provide tools and methodologies for creative thinking and decision-making to drive Innovation.
