A Note from the Founder
We started CXAL to bring innovative companies together as a trusted team to solve problems and implement solutions. Our premise was and is that the foundation of problem solving is rooted in people and their trusted relationships. We learned as we watched others in both Public and Private Sectors struggle to define innovation and stand up innovation labs, incubators, and accelerators to keep up with the fast pace of change. From these trials we gained valuable knowledge. We further defined our approach to problem solving and scaling while remaining based on the foundation of trusted relationships across Government, Industry and NGOs. Our objective is to help organizations realize value of their innovations while moving to adopt problem solving and scaling as a continual versus a one-time activity. We’re never done.
We look forward to connecting.
