Services
Whilst my experiences have focussed largely on the following key areas over the years, I will be happy to discuss how I may help in any way valuable.
Innovation Strategy Development & Review
Nine years implementing HPE’s Global Innovation Framework with 400 enterprise innovation strategies, incl billion dollar clients, enhanced my views on innovation strategies; extensive reviews with focus on:
Clarity on the how innovation supports your organisation’s goals
Outcome-driven, measurable, impactful targets well communicated and understood
The strongest prioritisation of innovation activities toward your organisation’s strategic goals
A positive culture of creativity, validation, fast delivery & continuous improvement
Governance Development & Review
The strongest practices from across hundreds of innovation strategies will be shared; all reviews, priorities and outcomes will be guided by your objectives
Alignment to goals and speed
A positive culture of informed-innovation and impact-or-delete across the whole organisation
Portfolio weighting and risk review
Speed to strongest decisions
Measurability of outcomes and continuous assessment and improvement

Selection Process Strengthening
Selecting the ideas with the highest probability of success has been a focus of mine; is one of our most important tasks and yet remains one of our toughest challenges
Making the selection, and de-selection, process fast whilst remaining robust and strategically aligned
Prioritising so the strongest bets get the investment with weaker ones not costing too much time
The benefits of involving challenging clients and their early financial commitment to prove the market
Continuously improving the process based on successes and failures
Delivery Capability Review
Having led award-winning* transformation implementations, and large high-pressure turnarounds, my delivery experience informs my delivery reviews
Delivery capability, methods, speed and risk are considered realistically during the strategy and selection processes
Speed to market and validation are key; delivery successes and failures, and selection successes and failures, are fed back into the innovation strategy, governance and selection process
