Eureka! Jump Start

A Disciplined System to Stop the Whining and Start Taking Action on Ideas for Growing Sales and Profits 

1. Your team will start the day inventing ideas in 3 areas; process improvements, marketing messages, and new products or services.
   
2. Next the team will consider the inventions and each choose one for a “deeper dive”. With a little help from their friends and colleagues, we’ll “pitch” these ideas to each other and then decide on a few to start testing.
   
3. And finally you will finish by developing action plans for 3 idea scouts to move the idea forward.

Implement with a Pro: A Eureka! expert will provide 30 days of consulting to ensure progress through Fail Fast, Fail Cheap, Get Smart cycles of development.

Get the Entire Team ENGAGED for 7X Greater Impact: The program is most effective when attended by a DIVERSE group from your company - from the person on the factory floor all the way up to the Founder and CEO of the company. Eureka! Jump Start is the most effective and efficient day you can spend to strategize your company's future.

Developed by Doug Hall, recognized as America's #1 Idea Guru by Inc. Magazine, A&E Top 10 and CIO Magazine, the new Eureka! Jumpstart program is described simply as:

 “One Day to Get You Started on ideas for Growing Profits”

You and HTR will focus on the sustainable profits found when creating and commercializing the new and different concepts that your team will generate. We’ll concentrate on solving your customers problems by using the diversity of thinking, experience and knowledge found right inside your walls. 

In this one fast paced day of inventing, we use internal and external stimulus to get those minds thinking and acting on new ways to grow your business profitably, then help with a “fail fast, fail cheap” process we call Trailblazer® to coach them over the next 30 days to test ideas before you spend a dime on developing them.

John Steele, HTR’s Manager of Growth Services and a Eureka! Certified Coach and Facilitator, will lead teams personally through this process here in the Finger Lakes.

 Steele was recently honored with a “Group Practitioner of the Year for 2010” award by the NIST Manufacturing Extension Partnership for his work with the Eureka! Institute in partnership with 7 other hand-picked coaches from around the country.
