Why did we create the Greenhouse?

79% of organisations dont achieve their innovation goals.

What's stopping them? The cost of innovation, financing and economic impacts are all rated as critical barriers to innovation by UK companies.

Experimentation is the key to being 
one of the successful 21%. And getting started doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive.

In our 7 years helping organisations reinvent their products and services, and transform their ways of working – we've learnt creating a culture of experimentation is key to unlocking innovation.

The Greenhouse is a simple first step to start introducing experimentation to your organisation, with support from expert innovation and transformation practitioners who are well versed in overcoming common obstacles.
