The Business Innovation Factory (BIF) is a platform for transforming our most intractable systems, like healthcare, education, entrepreneurship, and energy, where players -- both private and public -- can design and test new solutions in a real-world environment.
We know how hard innovation is: Where will the great ideas come from? How will they be implemented and scaled? How do we evaluate them in the face of uncertainty? At BIF, we also know the power of experimenting in the real world with a network of collaborators with the audacity to change everything.
Innovation is a team sport that requires collaboration, learning, and experimentation across sectors and industries. No one person has all the answers.
Innovators are epic optimists, fueled by a passion and conviction that there is a better way to create value. We must inspire them daily with portraits of possibilities.
Together, we are designing the future. The past is not our reference point; tweaks won’t do. We must create a wholly new vision and experiment our way to its emergence.
Through our annual Collaborative Innovation Summit, salons, and online conversations, we connect our community of innovators, inspiring collective learning and improving collective performance. We enable the random collisions of unusual suspects because we know the value that lies in the gray space between industries and sectors.
In our Experience Labs, our research teams offer advanced, user centric insights that fuel experimentation by identifying opportunity areas for individuals, companies, nonprofits, and government agencies to test in the real world. We often partner with these groups to lead the experimentation -- from prototyping to testing to market making.
Players in the BIF Community are part innovation junkies, part impatient optimists; we believe that we all share a common DNA and a passion for transformation.
We urge you to let loose your passion and join our network of innovators, transformation artists, and audacious change-makers. BIF is accelerating innovation in the public and private sectors to unleash the transformative power of our community.
Tapping into the wisdom of our innovation community gives us access to limitless knowledge. We don't have all the answers, but we know that when we experiment and learn together, we can go further than we can go alone.
