Innovation and Transformation

Director, Innovation Strategy (Interim, Advisory, Fractional)

Innovation strategies can often fail to deliver their fullest value, not because organisations lack ideas; the challenge is selecting the strongest strategy-aligned ideas whilst having the structures and culture needed to deliver at speed and scale.

With 20 years focused on innovation strategies, a number of global R&D leadership roles, and delivery of award-winning transformation programmes, I am recognised by CEOs, CTOs and CIOs as helping innovation strategies have the highest probability of delivering real change in line with strategic goals.

There are four areas where my experience most regularly helps organisations increase the value they realise from innovation:

Innovation Strategy

I have had the privilege of working with hundreds of corporate innovation strategies, and I’ve seen clear patterns in what makes the best so powerful. Understanding where markets, technology and clients’ desires are heading; innovating where your brand, strengths and capabilities can win; and having the structure to deliver at speed have been key common elements. I will share what I have learned to see where I can assist in your innovation strategy delivering even greater value.

Best Practice

With the best blend of strong practice for your organisation’s culture, market and goals in place, you can focus on informed creativity: identifying and delivering the strongest innovations at speed. An external review is often valuable; feel free to schedule a quick confidential call to discuss.

Selection

Ideate crazily, develop best-practice selection, deliver & validate fast, continuously learn.  We can generate ideas but finding those innovations that will truly make the difference still remains one of our toughest challenges.  Done well it is a game-changer. This has been a focus of mine. I will gladly share the strongest approaches I have worked with.

Speed to Market

With the strongest ideas being selected, the focus turns to fast delivery and rapid validation.  My history of delivery has informed my views on validation at speed and feedback towards strategic goals.  Schedule a quick confidential call to discuss.
