"The Innovation Garage applies a consistent approach for taking innovation from an initial concept to profitability. They are in a unique position to help clients that want to build a supplier enabled culture of innovation or have specific areas or spend categories where they want to invest – and bring their suppliers on the journey with them."

The Palambridge platform combines experienced subject matter experts with technology and framework partners that share their revolutionary point of view about procurement's future trajectory. The Innovation Garage works with companies to accelerate results while decreasing the associated risks using approaches such as design thinking, lean startup, innovation engineering, agile development, simulation modeling, lean/six sigma operations and Center Led Procurement and value chain analysis for products, process, service and supply chain.
