Breakthrough innovation is disruptive. And it either happens because of you, or without you. Your business needs to prepare for change. Others want you to establish processes for controlled innovation. But control limits. And limits reduce your opportunities.
Innovation is more about culture than process. You need freedom for new things to be tested, space for thoughts to emerge and collaboration for ideas to mature. Much more important than controlling your actions, is managing the interactions between people and technologies, minds and machines.
You know the statistics. Many projects fail. And they do, because companies still use last-century methodologies. Plans, reports, meetings and a rigid management process designed for the industrial age no longer meet the requirements of today's knowledge workers. Many consultants offer you help with optimizing this process. I won't.
Instead, I'm going to show you a 21st-century approach to project management. Using simplicity, pragmatism and collaboration I help your project teams become agile, more flexible, and focus on what's more important than the process - the results.
Creating great products requires diverse skills. Sometimes technology specialists have a great idea, but cannot convince management. Or marketing sells a product that promises more than can be delivered. Your specialists speak different languages. Better you make sure everyone understands each other.
There is another party involved as well: your customers. Win their support, and boost marketing success, with the powers of usability and the principles of swarm intelligence. Let your customers become another major resource for ideas and innovation.
Knowledge is worth nothing, if it isn't shared. In addition to offering my services directly as part of your projects, I also provide my personal expertise and experience in professional training and speaking engagements.
