Want to get large numbers of people involved in developing great ideas and innovations? Q+ provides a simple, easy-to-use interface, so all employees and invited stakeholders can participate in innovation activities — those conducted as campaigns driven by specific strategic ambitions, and those based on individual interests and concerns.

Many of our clients are at the height of their powers. For some, sustaining their success means changing the rules so radically as to re-invent the game. For others, it’s about transforming the organization’s culture to one where every member of the team can actively respond with agility and relevant innovations to opportunities and threats in the market.
Life’s a Pitch
Create a compelling CO-STAR™ and begin realizing your dreams today
The CO-STAR™ Value Proposition
In Silicon Valley the often-repeated refrain is “Pitch me the value proposition of your idea.” More important than the idea itself are answers to the six crucial questions that make up CO-STAR:
Innovators are now using CO-STAR in over 39 countries, including Austria, Azerbaijan, Belgium, Bulgaria, Burma, China, Columbia, Croatia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Ecuador, Estonia, France, Germany, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Kenya, Latvia, Lithuania, Netherlands, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Romania, Russia, South Africa, Switzerland, Tanzania, Trinidad, Turkey, Ukraine, United Kingdom, USA, and Zimbabwe.
Learn more about CO-STAR in our Books section or request a free template in our Tools section.
“CO-STAR is the shared language and practice used throughout all of the innovation activities at Swiss Post. Business ideas are prepared using the easily understood and concise CO-STAR template.”
— Eliane Noverraz, Strategy & Innovation Manager, PostFinance Ltd.
