Inspire11 review

Chicago HQ, a workshop way in, and named case studies.

Verdict

Inspire11 gives 1 North Dearborn Street as its headquarters, with offices in Atlanta, Minneapolis, Dallas and Detroit. It lists artificial intelligence and machine learning, product development and engineering, and innovation and strategy, and offers an AI workshop and an Enterprise AI Transformation Blueprint. It names case study clients including Great Dane, Club Champion, Rightway and Ball Horticultural, and cites Crain's Fast 50 three times and the Inc. 5000 five times between 2020 and 2024.

What customers praise

A low commitment workshop to start, and named mid-market case study clients.

What customers criticise

Its AI offer is described in one line, with no stated build process or pilot. Delivery runs partly through a global model in the Balkans. The large logos on its homepage, such as PepsiCo and McDonald's, are not labelled as clients. No price.

Best for

A Chicago company that wants a workshop first and a mix of strategy, product engineering and AI, from a fast growing local firm with offshore delivery.
