Doug’s unique skill is in organizing chaos into a compelling idea that clicks on the light switch.

Austin McNamara 
Group VP, Chiquita Brands International


We received full-funding and senior management approval at our first presentation thanks to the work we did with Eureka!

Director of Marketing
American Standard

Doug Hall’s unique and effective approach to creating ideas is stimulating, embracing, and fun - and the results explode with new possibilities.  it is truly a winning experience in ideas and self-confidence.

Ron Nicodemus 
Conference Director, Walt Disney Institute


Finally, a new product concept process that’s fast, testable and delivers results!

Bill Harnew 
Senior Product Manager, Unilever U.S.A.


The Eureka! experience is the freshest breath of air I've had in a very long time.  The fact that something so much fun could both be productive and add value gives me hope for the broader corporate environment in the future.

Sharon Hall
General Manager, Avon Products


The Great thing about Doug is that , aside from being tremendously creative, had has good business sense and understanding.  He is practical and responsive to client input.

Michelle Greenwald
Senior VP of Marketing, Mattel Toys


The format was truly refreshing.  It was a pleasure to be in a group where the idea creators outnumbered the idea killers.  Until you commit to thinking what can be done instead of what cannot, you are destined to secure mediocrity.

Mark Hartwell
The United States Playing Card Company


The difference between other companies and Eureka! Ranch is that you leave the Ranch with both solid strategies and fully written and illustrated concepts that support those strategies so you can turn right around and present them to the Board of Directors, executive management, etc. I've been very impressed with the amount of legwork Doug and his team do Prior to the session to be fully prepared for the participants and to make the most of our time at the Eureka! Ranch.  Eureka! has been a fabulous investment for my division.  I give the program a "9" on a scale of 1 to 10 and I'm a pretty tough evaluator.

Illene Quilty
Group Product Director, Johnson & Johnson


Your passion for instilling confidence in people's creative skills had a profound impact on the group.  More importantly, each individual is more confident in their own creative abilities and those of their colleagues.  I am confident the tools we learned will be applied continuously throughout Fidelity and help us to transform what we do and how we do it.

Paul J. Gallagher
Presidents, Fidelity Service Company



We’ve been working with Eureka! for almost a decade.  Utilizing the Eureka! tool-set as part of our consulting services has helped us attract new customers and extend relationships with our existing clients.  The Eureka! tool-set is by far the most effective and efficient approach we’ve come across for helping companies take real action with innovation.  The partnership has been instrumental in helping us to become one of the leading providers of innovation services in Scotland.

Graeme Crombie, 

Partner at Matrix Business Growth Consultants, Scotland

Speed was important to me -- we needed to bring new product ideas to our executives in a two-month time frame.  The Eureka! process helped us conceptualize our ideas and test them with excellent, fast, quantitative results.

Andy Geisee
Director, Strategic Marketing, Southwestern Bell


Doug Hall has a method to his madness, a rigorous, quantifiable process for inventing breakthrough ideas for clients.  Unlike many creative gurus hustling ideation wares in the corporate marketplace, Doug makes it imperative that his inventing processes are quantified every step of the way.

Todd Datz, Features editor, CIO Magazine


I know of no one who blends knowledge, curiosity and creativity more productively than Doug Hall.

Dr. Lynn Kahle 
Professor & Chair, University of Oregon


We immediately put our Eureka! training to work. Using the techniques we learned, we were able to develop 10 clearly defined ideas.  Then we tested them against the laws...this process not only helped us get buy-in, it also helped us weed out some losers certain people had a strong attachment to.

For me, this training enhanced, clarified and added value to our inovation process. The gap between our current thought patterns and where we need to go to effect change was easily and effectively bridged using your methods.  Results were fast, furious, fun and powerful.  Your session was the most useful, productive, and bottom line business results oriented training I've attended.

Roland Boose
Product Development, Nestle

Eureka! has more stimuli, more focus on the people and on the interaction of the people...I'd hate to go back to a regular brainstorming session after experiencing Eureka!

Dr. Arthur VanGundy
International Creativity Expert, University of Oklahoma

Explicitly and buoyantly describes how to generate fresh thoughts...Hall's ideas can be adapted to any field or profession.

Dayton Business News


5 out of 6 concepts we worked on with Eureka! achieved top quintile Bases scores - and on of the concepts set a new high for our company!

Product Director
Janssen Pharmaceutical


I was also thoroughly impressed with the attitude, the commitment, the enthusiasm and the strategic thinking of you and all those with whom we worked on our project - truly a creative, clear-thinking, results-oriented bunch of people.  A real privilege!  Your commitment to do whatever it takes to meet and exceed the client's expectation is unsurpassed in the industry.  Just like our great brands, it's good to know that there are others that deliver on promises made.  You challenged us to think and do that which was not only outside the box, but beyond our comfort zone.

Bob Cohen
M&M/MARS

We could have never accomplished by ourselves what we accomplished through our Eureka! Session.
