Innovation is a marathon, not a sprint

Businesses need to invest continuously in exploiting advances in technology to survive and prosper, like the birds.

We work with clients to embed the forward-looking and innovation-seeking mindset needed to keep their businesses competitive.


We have proven a blend of consultancy, coaching and mentoring and training to change the culture and mindset of organisations from reactive to proactive, powering their innovation from the top down.

It has many interesting properties, one of which is as a thickening agent, as well as light-weighting packaging. Exploiting these characteristics was the other key goal of the project.

Unilever was  a partner in the project and we led its work in exploring how Exilva could replace oil-based ingredients in a diverse range of products and packaging, as part of its green strategy. This involved coordinating diverse teams working in Brazil, the US, the UK, France, Norway, Sweden and Greece, so was heavily dependent on virtual team-working long before the COVID-19 crisis.

Outcome

The technical results were exciting - Exilva offered Unilever the prospect of higher-performing products with lower carbon footprint. The commercial conditions for the plant investments needed for switching to this novel ingredient were modelled and the

Case Study: boosting innovation capability

We are working with this well-established software supplier to transform its ability to grow and innovate, while designing and developing a new product with much wider potential market than their current product range.
