The model is a tool to be used by managers to prevent the waste of resources in allocating resources to innovation projects or to help them to innovate in order to bring competitive advantages to their company. It can be adapted for use in different kinds of organizations and specific industries and has been extremely successful in Europe. It is used by companies such as Nestlé, Microsoft, Oracle, Sanofi-aventis, ST Microelectronics, Cap Gemini, Orange, P.A.R.C., Serono and other organizations such as startups and public administrations. In the organization where it is used, it has turned executive education into a real profit center and has boosted innovation with measurable results.

A problem that the IpOp Model addresses is the fact that decision-makers aren't interested in the implementation of a project, but rather on the Opportunity Case and seeing the benefits of such a project. That is why it encourages the use of an Opportunity Case that deals with the issued that interest decision-makers most. In this manner it makes proactive change agents by improving their self-confidence.

The model was conceived by Raphael Cohen, an expert in professional agility and "weapons of mass innovation" and has been presented in his book "Winning Opportunities, proven tools for converting your projects into succes… without a business plan" and before that on the French version of the book under the title "Concevoir et lancer un projet" in 2006. The IpOp model and other tools by Raphael Cohen boost innovation, entrepreneurial behavior, selling effectiveness, business development as well as employees' commitment in large organizations. The IpOp Model is taught in executive education seminars and it empowers entrepreneurs as well as intrapreneurs to identify, analyze and seize opportunities that bring competitive advantages to their company.
