We used kalaboukis’ Business Modeling Workshop  – as an innovative new job finding solution, kalaboukis helped us to pivot in a completely new direction, blowing our competitors out of the water. Got to product/market fit faster than we thought. Invaluable advice!

kalaboukis ran intensive ideation sessions with our teams and in some sessions generated over 50 patentable ideas in less than 2 hours. Phenomenal! Really helped us to build a valuable portfolio – when the company was sold it was valued at over $1B, mostly due to his work.

kalaboukis helped us to understand that our plan to build in China was premature – we needed to protect our medical device from possible IP theft. Additionally, he helped direct us to new markets we hadn’t considered.

We are an old-school retailer, getting crushed by Amazon (like most others in our space). kalaboukis taught us to “leapfrog” over our competition, invent beyond what they do, and leverage our core strengths — catching up fast.

kalaboukis helped us up a super-effective design thinking workshops, generating new prototypes in record time, delighting our customers.

In our Business Modeling Workshop, kalaboukis advised us to increase our prices instead of reducing them. To become a more exclusive, expensive product. A smaller, more lucrative market was better for us than a broader pitch to other habits. We reached profitability faster.

kalaboukis ran his 10-year scenario backcast session with our team to develop our next years’ strategic plan.  I was skeptical at first but when we were done, we got more value from his two-hour-long session than our week-long “planning offsite”

kalaboukis spelled out a compelling vision for the future of commerce – we adjusted our strategic plans, and a year later, his predictions were spot on. He is an invaluable resource in any strategic planning session, bringing his optimistic futurism to help us to understand “what’s next.”

kalaboukis is awesome at ideation – whenever he is in the room we are sure to generate patentable ideas. Whether as part of our team or doing standalone ideation, Chris rocks. He was able to single-handedly help us to rebuild our portfolio to be used defensively.

For our 20th anniversary, we tapped kalaboukis to create a strategic foresight program to look at our future. We crowdsourced concepts from our employees, giving out awards for the best ideas and dropping them into a time capsule. Wonder how many of those ideas will have come to light?

kalaboukis overhauled our whole program, generating tons of new ideas. He also created a really fun futurist program which not only generated a lot of interesting new products and patents but also shot our employee engagement numbers through the roof.
