2thinknow® started in 2006 by modelling innovation as a process.
2thinknow® developed a backward-compatible model of innovation that is applicable across 500 years of invention, since Gutenberg invented the printing press. This rational, logic-based model of innovation covers all locations, and is designed to cover all current and future innovation.
Innovation as the Seed
From this model 2thinknow® have derived further models, data, analysis and training programs for innovation. 2thinknow® were the first to offer these and other innovation programs for the innovation economy. In 2006 2thinknow® started the world-leading Innovation Cities™ Program, as a package of innovation tools for cities. 2thinknow® is the exclusive developer of the Innovation Cities Program & Index – based on concepts in measuring innovation and performance data by 2thinknow® Director Data and founder, Christopher Hire.
The Innovation Cities Models & research were conceived by Christopher Hire in 2005, and 2thinknow first established as a firm in 2006. (see History)
