While it's probably impossible to compute the exact percentage of business
initiatives that fail, it is widely acknowledged that project failures run at about 70%!
After years of research and observation the same project
areas come up time and time again.
Cocoon have developed a model called
the Project Puzzletm
This proven approach has helped us deliver amazing
results for our clients, sometimes where other companies had failed!

 A
brilliant idea on
its own is not
enough for a
successful
innovation. The
greatest innovations
happen when people
“join up their
thinking” on a
challenge. In order
to make that
brilliant idea a
reality, people need
to work in a team
that energises them
in an open
environment of trust
and respect.
People are the
biggest element of
project culture.
Unless the culture
honours ideas and
supports
risk-taking,
innovation will be
stifled even before
it begins.
Innovation
needs time, energy
and resource.
People need time to
develop new skills,
to explore new
ideas, and a
framework that
actively promotes
joined up thinking.
Innovation is the
corner-stone of
building a
successful future;
but it requires
investment in people
today. We have the
experience and tools
to facilitate
building your own
framework. |
Many great ideas have
died on a sticky-note
without the person being
given the opportunity to
contribute something great
with that little yellow
piece of paper.
Cocoon's process management
system that captures ideas
and engages people in
developing, enlarging and
evaluating those ideas.
Diversity is the difference
between the
“same
old thinking"
and “Wow! we would never
have thought of that!”
Cross-functional teams are a
good start in creating
diversity. The true value of
diversity is realised when
process deliberately focuses
diverse thinking styles,
experiences, perspectives,
and expertise on a
challenge.
You would never use a
chainsaw to cut a slice of
bread.
Two things would stop
you from doing that, firstly
your educated mind, and
secondly common sense. It
would not work and cause
havoc in your kitchen!
In exactly the same way, you
cannot expect to unleash a
product before considering
if it's the right tool for
job, and carefully
evaluating the risks
associated.
Cocoon carefully selects the
project and then select the
appropriate solution!
