For more than 15 years, I have led the effort to promote change and innovation cultures to thousands of executives and students in different organisations, industries and countries. I have been at the forefront of applying design thinking to major change initiatives, helping leaders to redesign products/services, organisations, systems and mentalities.
MAN ON A Mission
To remain competitive corporations must become far more aggressive innovators, constantly innovating existing products and capabilities (exploitation) and constantly evolving and identifying new markets, segments, technologies and opportunities (exploration).
In face of dynamic environments organisations are challenged to establish strategic flexibility and sustained high performance. Innovation is therefore extremely dependent, not on individual specialisation, but on the ability to shift between exploitation and exploration initiatives.
The challenge is to manage all aspects of disruptive innovation from inspiration and ideation to implementation including the human and cultural elements, eliminating the “silo mentality” so common in organisations, and reinforcing collaboration.
“without your knowledge, charisma, determination and joy, nothing would have been the same. Thank you for breaking the ropes that bind us and for giving us wings that will allow us to fly.”
What I've HELPED Achieve
Develop a richer understanding of the commitments and the social purpose that drive the nature of innovative work.
Understand that innovation mastery is a processes that takes time, self-regulation, responsibility, and commitment to the interests of clients/partners.
Develop a crucial ability of a innovator that is to have the sensitivity and capacity of critical judgment to detect and evaluate complex patterns and to then act wisely.
Seamlessly integrating people’s real-life stories with hard numbers, the hybrid insights approach, helping strategists leverage the why as well as the what when making important decisions.
Prepare not merely competent technicians who follow professional rules, but people
of moral and intellectual qualities that enable them to achieve sustainable change and innovation.Creating an innovation purpose, to contribute to group efforts and to have a social impact has been shown to motivate individuals to engage in major change initiatives.
Empathising and helping people relate to the behaviours enabled by a new concept, helps them to see its value.
Encourage innovation behaviours to happen in the first place, and then align incentives and create an innovation ecosystem in motion.
