INNOVATION THAT MATTERS

I facilitate value exploration workshops for both companies and startups.

I focus on the blue areas in the graph below.I use the same evidence-based value-focused innovation process for both. However, the cultural maturity of a startup vs. an established company makes the context very different.

In the "Initiate" horizon, I work with founders & founding teams.

Culture challenges: Dominant founder opinions.

Risk: Creating something nobody wants.

In the "Create" horizon, I work with innovation teams.

We explore and discover a new thesis of value to stay relevant.

Culture challenges: Dominant corporate politics.

Risk: Creating something nobody wants, unaligned with company strategy, or upsetting the boss!
Sometimes all three!
