Most consulting parachutes in, runs a workshop, leaves a deck, and disappears. We do the opposite. We embed, we teach, and we leave your team stronger than we found it.
The Innovator in Residence model borrows from something universities have done for decades. You bring exceptional talent inside for a season, not as a visitor but as a working member of the team. Part fresh eyes, part facilitator, part trainer. You get the outside perspective and the inside commitment at the same time, and when the residency ends, the capability stays.
You can't be your own dentist. And your smartest single expert can't be your whole innovation function.
Ron built Bitwise Solutions here in Indianapolis, from zero to roughly 1,100 clients and 3,000 engagements before selling it. He founded and sold Apprentice University. He has served as an Entrepreneur in Residence and holds a patent. We are not learning your market from a slide deck. We live in it.
When the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department wanted to bring a genuinely fresh approach to a homicide that had been cold for more than two decades, they came to Ron. We assembled a diverse volunteer team, paired the Simplexity process with AI tooling, and spent four months turning a mountain of paper into an organized, searchable body of knowledge, along with fresh leads and a repeatable playbook for the department. The work was solid enough to present to the International Homicide Investigators Association. If the approach holds up on a case like that, it holds up on a stalled product line or a market you cannot crack.
Every engagement is shaped to fit. A common structure is one to three days a week for eight to twelve weeks. We run workshops, facilitate real decisions, train your people on proven methods, and build the innovation habits that keep working after we are gone. You get expert guidance on your actual challenges, and your team gets the reps.
Most innovation help happens at a distance. We work alongside your team, so when a new obstacle surfaces we see it and adjust in real time instead of hearing about it secondhand. By the time we step back, your people have not just understood the method. They have lived it, on real problems, and the capability is theirs to keep.
