Innovation is a strategic priority for most organisations

Turning it into real & sizeable impact is difficult

With 35 years in global technology services, a number of global R&D leadership roles, 20 years focused on innovation strategies and delivery of large, award-winning transformation programmes; I am recognised by CEOs, CIOs and CTOs as ensuring innovation strategies have the highest probability of delivering real change, not just activity, in line with strategic goals.

Available whenever I can add value; my work typically centres around four areas:

Corporate Innovation & AI Strategy

Having worked with hundreds of corporate innovation strategies, I’ve seen clear patterns in what makes the best so powerful. I will share the insights and lessons that have proven to make innovation strategies succeed in practice.

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, investing in, and delivering the best innovations at speed. I will share what I have seen consistently turn best practice into measurable impact.

Prioritisation & Investment

Ideate crazily, develop best-practice selection, deliver & validate fast, continuously learn.  We can generate ideas but finding the meaningful opportunities still remains one of our toughest challenges.  This has been a focus of mine. Reach out for more on tested approaches for identifying the best investments.

Delivery & 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. I will be happy to share more on this.
