Stephen's Process

T. S. Eliot once remarked, “Between the idea and the reality falls the shadow.”

Wishing for things that seem impossible may appear to be a carefree exercise that should be reserved for children. On the contrary, Stephen Warshaw believes that wishes can be crucial exercises that encourage people to forge emotional connections, and cooperatively create path-breaking, revolutionary new ideas and innovations.

To this end, whether an organization is looking for ingenuity, creativity, innovation, growth or “all of the above”, Stephen will always begin a collaboration by encouraging clients to partake in an experience of “freestyle wishing” as a means to dramatically impact the possibility of generating innovative ideas.

As a Certified Fido Facilitator, you can engage Stephen on an hourly, three-hour or full-day basis, with every expectation that he will leverage “intelligent naivete” to leave behind a solution set as your road map to innovation and ultimate success. As a Linchpin at-Large, you can also engage Stephen as the central, cohesive element and figure that will help you navigate this road map, and actually activate your “next steps” over a defined course of time, seeing the project through to the metric evaluation of the results.

Stephen has collaborated on assignments in both the public and private sectors, in strategy, product and marketing innovation, and the reinvention of business models in the entertainment; healthcare; insurance; pharmaceutical; retail; sports and sports league and television broadcast industries.

Once a path to either “introduction” or “reintroduction” is established, Stephen and his cadre of incredibly talented “Linchpins at-Large” can adroitly design and produce all forms of traditional, digital, social and experiential media, as well as media, public and trade relations to help a client tell and sell their story of innovation to business-to-business or business-to-consumer prospects.

Please take a few moments to listen to some of the client testimonials contained on this web site. We are confident that you will agree that Stephen and his fellow Linchpins cast quite a long shadow, and can generate significant benefits and acclaim for you and your organization.
