Clareo Partners applies leading academic research, practical experience and proven methods to help companies achieve sustainable, successful business innovation.

The Innovation Radar
Developed at Northwestern University by Kellogg faculty members Dr. Mohan Sawhney and Dr. Robert C. Wolcott, the Innovation Radar is a powerful tool for assessing and informing an organization's innovation efforts. The Innovation Radar provides an applied framework and robust measurement methodology for visualizing, diagnosing, benchmarking and improving innovation performance.

Ecosystem Analysis
The Ecosystem Analysis was originally developed through research at Kellogg to help assess partnership and acquisition opportunities that enhance both value creation and value capture. Emphasizing a visual model for strategic planning, the ecosystem mapping framework has also been adapted to provide a fresh and compelling perspective on new business ideation, product launch planning, and industry structure analysis.
