Core offering

INSO is an innovation strategy consultancy that delivers human-centered workshops, accelerators, team-building offsites, and leadership training to help organizations gain strategic clarity, align teams, and execute transformation. Its core delivery is organized around two branded engagement models: INSO Inspired (short, sharp problem-solving workshops) and INSO Accelerate (multi-day to multi-month transformation programmes), supported by Growth Accelerators and Leadership & Training services sold as custom consulting engagements.

Product overview

INSO (Innovation Solved) is a consultancy and innovation network offering services primarily in four core areas: Growth Accelerators, Team-Building Offsites, Workshop Facilitation, and Leadership & Training. The company operates through two main engagement models: INSO Inspired (short, focused problem-solving workshops) and INSO Accelerate (deeper multi-day to multi-month transformation programmes). Additionally, INSO publishes research content including the Guernsey Innovation Report and produces a podcast called The Good Ideas Club. The offering is a services-led consultancy rather than a software product platform.
