I specialise in working with established businesses who believe that there is always a better way. I call them persistent innovators. Together, we build on these foundations and collaboratively develop systematic innovation capabilities based on the ISO56000 series of Innovation Standards.
I understand that the ultimate objective of innovation is value creation, rather than mere creativity or invention. To this end, I take a whole-of-business approach that includes not only specific innovation activities but also innovation leadership, culture, and commercialisation. I assist businesses develop persistent, ingrained innovation capabilities through:
