My passion is empowering collaborative innovation at complex organizations...I lead the OIC Innovation management services practice -- a roll-up-the-sleeves strategic partner serving innovative leaders who grow the performance of their engineered product businesses, technology-based organizations, or public-private partnerships. My clients are CEOs, business unit and program directors, heads of non-profit and academic organizations, and lead agencies of regional consortia.My specialty is Agile Innovation™, a proven methodology that integrates 1) business, consortia, and innovation strategies with 2) agile execution to deliver 3) targeted opportunities. Agile Innovation elevates speed, quality, and ROI across a broad spectrum of performance improvements -- in products, services, business models, internal functions, and inter-organization collaborations.I apply Counter-Consulting mechanics in my client engagements, which avoid the risk, inconvenience, and cost burden of traditional consultants, while expanding the strategic and executional burst capacity of client leadership.A related business focus is BioEcosystem Partners (BEP), where we deliver a systems-based approach to collaborative innovation consortia and commercialization of early-stage university technology. BEP serves academic institutions and their emerging science parks, government agencies and EDOs, real estate developers building technology hubs. and early-stage investors and developers.My expertise includes strategic planning, innovation/technology district design, Blue Ocean strategy, business model design, OKRs, and organizational agility -- all building on many years of experience as an executive in technology-based startup ventures and established companies. I serve clients in one or more partnership roles: Quick-Strike Opportunity Definition (QS-OD), action-learning workshop leader, executive player-coach, project and program implementation, or interim/part-time function management.…While not McKinsey, I try harder.
