Hear from our clients

Thank you so much Debra for an excellent workshop. I think it is safe to say that Innovation Styles® will become thoroughly engrained in our DU Ontario culture. I have heard very positive feedback from all staff, both on the workshop and on your excellent facilitation skills. Everyone really enjoyed meeting you and had an absolutely fabulous time. Thanks so much!

The BeThinkAct process is practical and can be applied across a small or large challenge with equal outcome. It is simple and effective and can be applied quickly and easily. It allows me to be nimble in my approach and yet ensures we don’t miss important steps along the way. Just as importantly, the user experience has always been positive. While they may not see it in beginning, it reveals itself along the way and by the end, it makes a lot of sense.

The Quick Trip (BeThinkAct) process is immediately relatable, intuitive and easy to implement – facilitators can learn the process quickly and participants can actively engage. It is a welcoming process that gives clarity around how I innovate rather than doubt about whether or not I can innovate. As a result, we are able to generate a tremendous amount of energy and velocity around innovation in a short amount of time.

Aon Hewitt works closely with VCI to design and deliver solutions around innovation to its clients. This partnership is now more than 2 years old - during which time, we have had many opportunities to work with William and Debra. Aon Hewitt chose VCI as its partner of choice in the area of innovation since VCI has a refreshingly different point of view on making innovation work - be it appealing to the innate goodness of men and women, or anchoring it on human values. Our client workshops, that have been co-faciliated by William & Debra, are rich in anecdotes and praticality. The Innovation Styles® Inventory is a very powerful, yet simple to grasp tool that provides valuable insights into innovation styles of people.

In my fifty years of design work I've yet to meet anyone who can articulate the depth of the creative process as well as William Miller.

We, at L&T Technology Services, have been associated with Values Centred Innovation for over 3 years. The concepts and techniques professed by VCI in their Innovation Styles® programme has been invaluable in our innovation journey so far. Their online certification modules have helped us train many individuals within our team. With the introduction of the online modules we now gain access to the content irrespective our geographic locations.

The contents of the new certification program are insightful and informative with the adoption of live examples. The course has been helpful for the “Train-the-trainer” program, enabling us to build effective innovation facilitators within the organization and customize the modules and lessons to meet our business needs.

VCI has been a valuable partner in our innovation practice and we eagerly look forward to furthering our relationship.

The meticulous way in which the workshop has been planned and executed by you both is inspiring. The workshop opened up an entirely new world in our minds about values centered approaches in our regular business. Thanks again.
