Design Thinking for
Leading Innovation
The pandemic has accelerated change in how innovation is inculcated into organizations, scaled, and monetized. Design Thinking challenges and changes persistent dogma and creates new innovation efficiencies based on process design, operational innovation efficiency, and conversations for design.
Employed successfully by Fortune 500 organizations in large-scale transformation efforts, Design Thinking is a powerful tool to create sustainable, scalable advancements where technology innovation is a "must have." It helps you create new frameworks to move from silos of product development to cross-functional, game-changing innovation.
We can apply Design Thinking to the design and development of products AND to the design and development of the human interactions needed to design great products. Design Thinking applies both to the design of things and to the design of work. This is what we call Human Innovation.
Best For: Senior executives and high performing teams where innovation is core to success including AI, IoT, Mobility, Robotics, Blockchain, and the Spatial Web, and other technical domains.

Executive Offsite: Executable Strategy
Executional excellence is the #1 challenge facing corporate leaders in the U.S., Europe, & Asia, with ~75% of large organizations struggle to implement their strategies. Cross-functional coordination is key to executional excellence, but these skills are not fostered by traditional workplace models. By guiding teams to develop strategy that is built on cross-functional coordination, co-invention and knowledge creation, Jennifer helps organizations can build their capacity for executional excellence and develop strategies that are truly executable. It also helps that she is a strategist and has been a C-Level exec.
This is for your team if:
-
Have a BIG agenda and goals but are really struggling to execute on strategy
-
Have alignment among your team (you get on well) but you still don’t seem to be able to pull it off
-
Try to stick to the plan but the market and competition is changing fast
-
Prioritize communication but still nothing seems to stick
Changes the way technology teams think and act to create clarity and alignment across roles to bring innovation strategy to life.
Executable Strategy is delivered via a 2-day format using Systems Thinking, Design Thinking and Promise-Based Management methodology.
Unifying & Effective
Jennifer has a startling ability to turn teams within an organization who have warred with each other for years–in some cases unable even to talk to each other civilly–into a coherent, effective, single team.
