Pros

Basically a very cool concept. Entire Innovation space trending in major organizations. Some very smart people to work with - mostly.

Cons

No consistent strategic direction. Most prospects/clients have not budgeted for these types of services, so basically a difficult time to develop new customers. Lots of customer churn and uncertainty of results.

Pros

Good concept for a product and solid network of solvers. Lots of value add within the vertical spaces that are the historical background of the company.

Cons

Board is dysfunctional, changing directions and watering down the organizational focus to too many different offerings in order to try and "win" across a lot of different markets. No focus,

Pros

Not much. Flexible schedule is the only pro and some of the people who are really smart. Salary is good especially for those who have been asked to stay on to avoid having the ship completely sink to the bottom.

Cons

Absolutely zero leadership. InnoCentive has had a remote CEO since 2006 and it shows. There's no vision or strategy for the future of the company. The course of the company is determined by gut feeling, opinions from poor performers who are sucking the power teet, rather than by hard market or customer data. Products and services are sub-par at best. And the entire partner ecosystem is null and void. The problem now is that the company is so far gone, it's literally holding on tight, surviving and hoping for the best outcome
