Magellan Idea Center

Specialties

The right environment is a catalyst for groundbreaking ideas to emerge. Truly creative ideas that lead to breakthrough innovation are far more likely to surface in risk-​free zones that inspire and energize people. In fact, research by Steelcase found that 80 percent of creative ideas happen in informal spaces.

Magellan Idea Center is a meeting place where creative energy ignites. The Center is designed expressly to visually stimulate, encourage open dialogue and inspire new ways of thinking. It’s the only space of its kind in the region and meetings here are always a memorable experience.

Treat your staff to off-​site meetings in a space designed to inspire creative thinking.

History

Established in 2005.

Using conventional methods to address business challenges doesn’t cut it anymore. Frankly, most of the methods used to solve business problems are either the same old ones that have always been used or just copying what others are doing. Not surprisingly, these usually do not produce innovative results that differentiate you from the competition. While traditional approaches, such as understanding best practices, are important, relying on them alone isn’t enough anymore. It may allow you to catch up to the competition but rarely surpass them.

Magellan’s ignite™ innovation system is comprised of six steps, from identifying areas of opportunity to generating innovative ideas to exploring potential for new ideas in the marketplace. Sometimes our clients dive right in and do all six. Sometimes they just dip their toes in, moving toward an innovative culture one step at a time.
