I help innovators change the world — faster.

I’m the author of three books on innovation and the developer of the Rapid Learning Cycles framework for innovation. This framework is accelerating innovation on every continent except Antarctica.

I have a long track record of accelerating the development of products like printers, washing machines, coffee makers, forklifts and mowers. I’ve helped biotech, medical device, pharma and aerospace adapt the framework to fit their industries. Today, my methods are accelerating solar, wind and nuclear energy systems development.

I know how to accelerate innovation.

I’ve already demonstrated that my methods work in renewable energy, transportation systems, food production and sustainable materials. I have already accelerated the development of the technologies we need to address climate change.

I also know that my clients’ experiences are much better than most innovation teams. Most products deliver disappointing results — or fail altogether. Most infrastructure projects take too long, cost too much and fail to deliver on their promises. We experience this with all the stuff we know how to build — skyscrapers, highways and high-speed rail.

For the next-generation electrical grid, the network of charging stations we need to get gas-powered cars off the road, and so many more, we can’t afford those types of failures.

Here’s what I do know: failure is not an option.

We can’t afford to waste the time, energy and resources we are investing on solutions that look great in early development but fail in execution — especially those that fail for reasons that could have been prevented with a different approach to early development.

So if it is possible to accelerate them by eliminating the root causes of the problems that plague most technology development programs, then that’s what we need to do.
