This page focus on an innovation & growth context of the above!
You cannot grow your business without doing something new, better, and more valuable. Peter Drucker said an organization has two core activities, innovation and marketing, and the rest are all support functions. That is probably an exaggeration, but it highlights a critical point!
Innovation is the only thing that makes your organization more competitive and attractive to customers.
However, innovation needs to be targeted!
You need to know what the "more" is that customers want - and our research has shown that five broad categories of innovation exist.
Successful organisations don't only innovate; they innovate in each of these five spaces!
Creativity is thinking up new things, Innovation is doing new things!
Theodore Levitt
Surviving in today's digital-age means out-innovating your competitors, and if that's not hard enough, innovation needs to be driven by a deep understanding of customer's real needs.
We have spent nearly a decade to better understand innovation and specifically needs driven innovation and we cracked the code!
The sad reality is that up to 90% of normal innovation attempts fail to be a commercial success. That means that normally less than 10% of innovation attempts see commercial success!
What would you do if you can make that 50%, or how about 75%. What would the competitive advantage be of an organisation that can do that?
It may sound crazy - but we can teach you how to do just that!
Our offering to help you grow your business is largely focused on purpose-driven innovation, in three areas:
- Product innovation, design, development and marketing
- Organisational (strategic business innovation), and
- Operational innovation and radical improvement.
We have learned and adopted techniques from the masters, developed some of our own techniques and blended it over more than a decade into a tried and tested method, that ANYONE can learn, and use successfully!
Yes, you heard right - anyone can be a successful innovator! Innovation is a process, that means it can be learned, and even the most intuitive, innovative and talented people will perform worse that those who diligently follow the process!
Our main task is to enable organisations to become innovation powerhouses and maintain the momentum when we finish the project. Skills transfer is our primary internal metric.
We leave organisations in a better state when we are done - and, that's why they remain better after we leave!
Our new book 'innovation driven Business Transformation', is a major update to the content we first shared in our 2022 book 'Competing in a Digital Future'.

We would first look at my real-life context and have conversations about why we do what we do, and then he would help me to apply what I have learnt to my work.
It is an absolute game-changer being able to immediately apply what I have learnt to great effect in the workplace.
