Future Results is a consulting service defining new operating models for big organisations to innovate like small startups while using their strengths.Enterprise organisations are being impacted by new market challengers. To succeed in the 21st century, they must learn new ways to:a) continuously innovate with their existing products and services, and b) learn to test market disruption to find new business opportunitiesToday's most successful Startup companies make products and services customers 'love' because they simply solve their problems. They achieve this cheaply and quickly using lean methods for continuous learning by experimenting with real customers and without fear of failure.Traditional corporations can't compete as their operating processes are built for businesses at scale. Business models are incompatible with startup ways of working in areas like:• Financial forecasting - business case drivers are defined in advance so ideas can't change• Success measures - reporting focuses on margin, arpu, etc, not user engagement metrics• Roadmaps - dates and costs are locked at the start of projects, discourging change• Initiative pipeline - too few ideas are investigated so businesses must be built that will fail• Employment - many varied staff are needed due to narrow and specific job roles• Bonuses - paid on pre-determined targets which discourages learning and change• Brand protection - ideas can't be publically tested if they are seen as incomplete and buggy• Legal/Regulatory - engagements are slow due to long-term scopes needing risk protection• Information security - long-term view of customer data blocks fast hosted infrastructure• IT policy - access to many startup tools, sites and apps is restricted from corporate PC's • Culture - failure is slow and seen as negative, not fast and praised for learning and progress• And more...Get in touch to discuss how to solve issues like these in your company and ensure your future results...

The Digital Transformation Office’s vision is that government services should be simpler, clearer, and faster for users, just as services are in other parts of users’ lives. People should be able to get things done with government easily. I help the DTO and Government agency teams to rapidly test early stage ideas, and discover ways to add the most value to users of Government services. I do this through coaching, strategic consulting, events, and I blend methods like Lean Startup, Agile and Design Thinking in a way public service can use safely and quickly.

Group Digital L!fe division was formed in April 2012 to disrupt the global digital market and build new OTT revenue streams for SingTel. To execute this vision, a fundamental shift in delivery approach was necessary. Growth focus shifted from “major build’ to “merger and acquisition”. Each concept product, service or feature would be validated using a modified “Lean Startup” method. All traditional program roles such as project managers and business analysts were terminated. Each new business concept would need only three roles; i) Business Leader, ii) UX Leader, iii) Technical Leader. Key Achievements:• As Proof of Concept Manager for Australia acted as a corporate “Intrapreneur” or “Entrepreneur-In-Residence” (EIR). Took lead responsibility to mentor and teach these leaders in how to strategically test, measure, learn and change their business models quickly and cheaply with real customers using tools and methods commonly used by startups. • After researching best practices circulated a “lean corporate startup” approach and a “cultural transformation” roadmap for GD!L. Supported by group Director and CIO, Aust. MD and HR• Succeeded in facilitating mindset changes in staff and execs to benefits of “validated learning”• Earned a reputation as a strategic leader through constructive discussion of “the big issues”
