We believe the key to growth is to be aggressively proactive in identifying, pursuing and implementing both external and internal opportunities.Paraphrasing Thomas Friedman, ‘There is no question you will change, the only question is whether the change will be done by you or to you’We want your change to be done by you. We do that through aggressive pipeline management, continuous stimulus mining, rigorous discovery and rapid cycles of learning.From products and services to systems and business models, it’s all necessary and it is all possible when change becomes a system rather than a reaction. let us speak to your organization about the potential for growth.

  Innovation Engineering is a body of knowledge, methods, techniques and tools being used to create big, bold, and potentially patentable innovations in products and services in large and small organizations. It is being used to reinvent internal systems for how organizations work. This includes increasing efficiency; reducing costs and helping people work smarter. It is being used by not-for-profit organizations to enable economic growth and expansion of services to their clientele. In short, it is being used to cause change rather than respond to change.Helping companies grow is very satisfying and I have learned something really important, I learned how to have fun at work again while at the same time doing something that mattered.The Innovation Engineering Network is a community of people like me across the US, Canada and Scotland helping create the momentum for change in both leaders and employees. Significant results in pipeline growth, success in launching new ideas as well as courage to take action, optimism and quality of work are being achieved.The Innovation Engineering Network provides education programs, workshops, coaching and consulting in the application of Innovation Engineering. We are also available to speak at luncheons, meetings and as conference keynote presenters. Show less
