Get your Diagnostic, Playbook, and Innovation Masterplan in just 8 weeks.
A program for CxOs, Chief Innovation Officers, and leadership teams — moving from scattered innovation activity to a coherent innovation strategy, built on the Innovation Mode 2.0 frameworks.
You Know You Need to Innovate. The Question Is How.
The board wants an innovation strategy. Your teams want direction. The market is moving — and you're running out of time to respond. You've seen the pattern before: hackathons that produce energy but no products, innovation labs that impress visitors but generate zero revenue, AI pilots that never scale beyond the demo environment.
What Most Companies Do
- Hire a consultancy for a 200-slide strategy deck
- Treat innovation as a hiring problem rather than a structural one
- Run hackathons that produce demos, not products
- Build innovation labs that become corporate showrooms
- Track "ideas submitted" as a success metric
What This Program Delivers
- A diagnostic that identifies your specific structural deficits
- A measurement framework with KPIs that track real capability
- A branded playbook your teams can actually execute
- A sequenced masterplan of 70+ prioritized interventions
- AI integration architecture for autonomous discovery
True innovation goes beyond isolated programs, technology labs, hackathons, fancy collaboration spaces, and bold innovation titles.
— Innovation Mode 2.0
Four Actionable Deliverables.
Every deliverable is built on the AI-powered innovation frameworks from Innovation Mode 2.0 — the same diagnostic tools, maturity models, and intervention sequences used to build innovation functions at Microsoft, Accenture, GSK, and four technology startups.
Innovation Readiness Assessment
A comprehensive diagnostic using the Innovation Maturity Index — the 7-level framework from Innovation Mode 2.0. We assess your organization across the 6 Innovation Deficits: leadership, organizational design, capabilities, real-world connection, talent & culture, and venture building. No generic benchmarks — a diagnosis mapped to your operating reality.
For organizations that want a deeper, broader-sample diagnostic before committing to the full Advisory, the Innovation Maturity Diagnostic can be commissioned as a standalone engagement.
Innovation Performance Framework
Custom KPIs and a dashboard architecture that measure what actually matters — not vanity metrics like "ideas submitted" but indicators of genuine innovation capability: validation velocity, concept-to-MVP cycle time, portfolio health, and innovation ROI. Designed to report upward to the board and downward to execution teams.
Innovation Playbook
A branded internal operating manual for your organization — methods, templates, decision frameworks, AI tool integration, escalation paths, and role definitions that answer "how do we innovate here?" This becomes your teams' reference document — creating alignment through a shared innovation language across every business unit.
Innovation Masterplan
A prioritized transformation roadmap built on the Six Phases of Innovation Transformation from Innovation Mode 2.0 — Power-Up, Spark, Connect, Empower, Scale-Up, Embed — sequencing 70+ interventions from foundational capability-building through to AI-powered autonomous innovation. Every recommendation includes the why, the how, and the specific sequence. This is your board-ready innovation strategy document.
Every program includes 10 copies of Innovation Mode 2.0 — the complete 70+ intervention framework that underpins this advisory engagement. Your leadership team receives the definitive guide to sustaining and scaling the transformation long after the program concludes.
Your Innovation Transformation Masterplan
The Innovation Masterplan delivers 70+ sequenced interventions across the Six Phases of Innovation Transformation documented in the book. Your innovation roadmap starts where your organization is today — and maps the specific path to where it needs to be.
8 Weeks to Your Masterplan.
50 hours of advisory delivered across 32 sessions. Every week has a defined objective, a structured methodology, and a tangible output. Remote or hybrid — with the option to deliver the first and/or final week on-premise.
Innovation Readiness
We meet key stakeholders to assess your current innovation efforts using the Innovation Maturity Index. We review existing programs, map how strategy connects to innovation activity, and benchmark against high-performing organizations. A specialized survey captures perceptions across your teams. We identify the structural, cultural, and capability gaps holding you back.
Opportunity Discovery
We assess your current ideation processes and design improvements to your opportunity discovery funnel — including how to leverage AI for market scanning, signal detection, and concept generation. We cover when AI tools add value versus when human judgment is essential, and how to build feedback loops that make your discovery function smarter over time.
Innovation Performance
We work with leadership to define what "innovation success" means in your context. We design a measurement framework that tracks genuine capability — validation velocity, concept-to-MVP cycle time, portfolio balance — not activity metrics. We also design the Innovation Insights system: how to capture learnings and feed them back into your process.
Innovation Culture
We assess the health of your organizational culture across the dimensions that matter: risk tolerance, collaboration patterns, recognition systems, psychological safety, and openness to AI augmentation. Based on findings, we design targeted interventions — gamification, experimentation frameworks, knowledge exchange initiatives, and role models that signal "this is how we innovate here."
Innovation Playbook
We create your branded Innovation Playbook — a practical internal guide covering definitions, methods, tools (including AI tools), templates, decision processes, and key contacts. This document creates alignment across your organization through a shared innovation language and removes the ambiguity that kills momentum.
Innovation Masterplan
We synthesize all findings into your Innovation Masterplan — a comprehensive transformation roadmap structured around the Six Phases framework. Your Masterplan identifies where you are today, where you're headed, and the specific interventions required to get there — sequenced, prioritized, and mapped to your organization's maturity level.
Final deliverables presented to leadership: Detailed Recommendations deck, Innovation Masterplan, finalized Innovation Playbook, and 10 copies of Innovation Mode 2.0 for your leadership team.
Built on the First Published Architecture for Agentic Corporate Innovation.
This isn't the typical generic innovation consulting found in the market. The program applies the published innovation methodology that addresses both the cultural foundations of corporate innovation and the AI architecture that scales it. Direct access to the first published architecture for agentic innovation in a corporate context comes built into the engagement: autonomous opportunity discovery, AI-assisted validation, and agent-driven realization.
Autonomous Opportunity Discovery
Architecture for AI agents that scan markets, patents, academic research, and competitive signals — surfacing ranked business opportunities your teams would take months to notice. We design the system; your tech function builds it.
AI-Powered Concept Validation
Methodology for simulated panels of AI personas that stress-test concepts for feasibility, market fit, and risk — compressing weeks of traditional research into hours. We design the validation framework; you operate it.
Accelerated Realization
Templates and prompt libraries for AI-assisted product framing: user stories, technical stack recommendations, go-to-market hypotheses, and experiment designs — generated before your team opens their first planning doc.
Portfolio Intelligence
Specifications for real-time dashboards that track your innovation portfolio across all initiatives — giving leadership visibility into pipeline strength, validation progress, and portfolio balance.
Not theoretical. The same architecture is running in production at Ainna.ai — an autonomous innovation agent built by the same author.
Get Insights from the Author, Inventor, Innovation Architect.
This program isn't led by a team of junior consultants with a methodology deck. It's led personally by the person who wrote the methodology, built the tools, and holds the patents.
For Leaders Who Own the Innovation Mandate.
The program works best with a core team of 3–5 stakeholders who have visibility into both strategy and operations. Your team's commitment: 4–6 hours per week across interviews, workshops, and review sessions.
CEOs, COOs & CxO Leadership
You set the strategic direction. This program gives you the diagnostic truth about your innovation maturity — and a sequenced roadmap that compounds over time.
Chief Innovation Officers & VPs of Innovation
You own the function. This program gives you the diagnostic, the playbook, and the board-ready masterplan to focus your first year on outcomes — not framework-building from scratch.
Heads of Product, R&D & Technology
You build what gets shipped. This program connects innovation strategy to product execution — from AI-powered discovery through MVP definition and go-to-market.
HR & Transformation Leadership
You shape the culture. This program assesses the cultural dimensions that enable or block innovation — and designs targeted interventions to shift them.
On Innovation Mode — The Book Behind the Methodology
The frameworks deployed in this program are drawn from Innovation Mode 2.0 (Springer, 2026). Here's what innovation leaders are saying about the book.
"Not just a book, but a blueprint for what it really takes to build innovative companies in today's world — companies that don't just talk about innovation, but live it in their culture, in their systems, and in their everyday decisions."— Alex Adamopoulos | CEO, Emergn
"An excellent overview and reference point about people, culture, and capabilities as the key pillars of innovation and practical ways to discover, validate, and realize opportunities on the road to innovation."— Dr. Mathew Hughes | Professor of Innovation, University of Leicester
"Very practical and inspirational for executives, leaders, middle-level managers, and teams willing to transform their vision to actual execution. Must-read and must-use."— Achilleas Stergioulis | Director, INTRASOFT International
"A must-read to any innovation leader in their efforts to reflect and refine existing innovation activities or to set them up completely new."— Erik Schumb | Founder & CXO, Agile Sprints
"A practical guide for how to tap your organization's creative energy, and transform it into an innovation-driven pace-setter."— Bart Manning | Head of Sales & Business Development, Unity
"An inspiring and must-read for every organization that doesn't wish to sit on the sidelines while someone else steals their share of the market."— Sue McGill | SVP, ATB Ventures
