Innovation Mode provides a unique framework for corporate innovation, designed with artificial intelligence at its core. Innovation Mode draws on over 25 years of work spanning AI/ML invention, product architecture, venture-building, and innovation strategy — inside global corporations and as the founder of four technology start-ups serving clients across telecom, banking, retail, and online sectors. As an executive operating manual, it tells you what to do, when to do it, and why the sequence matters.
The book opens with the diagnostic framework that explains why innovation programmes fail — the 6 Innovation Deficits spanning leadership, organisational design, capabilities, real-world connection, talent and culture, and venture-building. It then builds upward, chapter by chapter: people, innovation culture and organisational structure; the Chief Innovation Officer role in an AI-shaped landscape; AI-powered innovation capabilities; the workshops, hackathons and design sprints that surface ideas; opportunity discovery — including a future-facing model in which AI proactively and autonomously discovers opportunities in the organisation's context; opportunity validation through business experimentation and real-world evidence; opportunity realisation through MVPs and fast product-experimentation cycles; and a holistic innovation performance framework. The final chapter consolidates everything into the Innovation Masterplan — a six-phase programme of 70+ interventions that takes an organisation through the 7-level Innovation Maturity Index, toward the Innovation Mode.
