Innovation and Transformation Consulting

Director, Innovation Strategy (Interim, Advisory, Fractional)

Innovation strategies often fail to deliver full value, not because organisations lack ideas; the real challenge is selecting the strongest ideas, aligned with strategy, and having the structures, culture and commitment needed to scale them.

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, CIOs and CTOs as ensuring innovation strategies have the highest probability of delivering real change in line with strategic goals.

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

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.

Selection

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.

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.
