Ideas don't just come to you. The first step is to figure out what consumers want, based on consumer and trend research. Based on their needs we create new ideas and ask their opinions until we finish conceptualizing the new product. We also think about how to let consumers know about the new product and how we should communicate to them.

• How is this different from business consulting?

The biggest difference between idea consulting and business consulting is that we analyze and design new product/service innovation from consumer-oriented point of view. Profitability in the market is important but our main focus is on creating a new market via new products/services that provide new values for consumers. For this, we conduct qualitative analysis to draw consumer-oriented insights, which then are conceptualized using our own ideation methods and develop user scenarios and prototypes. Currently we are also offering creative workshop based on our consulting know-how.

There is no qualifying condition as to what degree, or what work experience is needed. In fact, everyone in CREVATE is from different backgrounds - Anthropology, Business, Architecture, Design, Consumer Studies etc - and some of us have previous work experience and others don't. However, we try to look for specific capabilities. Because idea is a type of solution, you would need to be able to define a problem well. Therefore you need to have a keen eye on looking at a problem, creativity to come to a fresh solution, and communication skills to deliver to end result effectively.

Insight, literally means 'seeing through'. To be an idea consultant with exceptional insights, your need to be continuously asking 'why' and persistently looking for answers.Creativity is the capability of coming up with completely new ideas by shifting your viewpoint. Developing creativity entails continuously reorganizing a problem from different perspectives and observation training about currently existing objects/products/services. Also, communication skills are crucial as a consultant. You need to be able to deliver a completely new concept that does not yet exist in the world most effectively to others and gain their empathy. For this, you need to be able to embrace different viewpoints from yours, listen carefully to others, and refine/give shape to your thoughts and ideas.

But the most important aspect as an idea consultant would be your attitude. Challenging with passion, firm belief in self, positivism and endless self-innovation is what we expect from ourselves and what we expect from our potential new recruits.

We welcome anybody from anywhere on the planet as long as you can prove your capabilities. If we could talk to you on Skype or any face chat, please do apply for our internship.

Our previous interns all have been students in college but of course we accept college graduates as interns. Also there is no age limit.

Interns work full time with other consultants on consulting projects. From consumer research, ideation, to prototyping, you will get to experience the whole process of innovation projects. We are looking forward to working with you!
