UK-based innovation consultant, change facilitator & value advocate

	“Jack is an innovation consultant who walks the talk. He is constantly innovating his own business activity, its design and aims. He is ‘the person’ to talk to for large group interventions, for whole system change and innovation.” Paul Levy Centre for Research in Innovation Management University of Brighton

I am a UK-based independent consultant providing innovation, organisational change and value advocacy services to national and global companies.

My experience spans many sectors, and my former clients include Department of Health, European Commission, GlaxoSmithKline, McCain Foods, and Royal Dutch Shell, where I was involved in the acclaimed GameChanger programme.

A lifelong practising innovator with 30 years of consultancy experience, I have developed a whole system approach to innovation and change that seeks to deliver the greatest amount of value to the largest number of stakeholders.

Using this co-creation approach, the ‘not invented here’ syndrome is eliminated, resistance to change is regarded as nothing more than evidence of a flawed plan, and the value flowing into the stakeholder system contributes to the sustainability of the company.

Innovation consultant

Acting as a creative catalyst, innovation midwife and value advocate, I help large cross-functional teams produce the stakeholder value specification, generate high potential ideas, develop them into groundbreaking concepts, create robust implementation plans, and work collaboratively towards the successful launch of the new product, service or venture.

Organisational change facilitator

Working as a member of the client team, I help design and deliver systemic change interventions that trigger the desired outcome quickly, effectively, with the minimum consumption of resources, and with minimal disruption.

Value advocate

The value advocate is the ‘voice of value’ in the company – a spokesperson who speaks on behalf of the potential stakeholder value that is waiting to be unlocked.

The value advocate seeks out latent value that can be unlocked by means of corporate vision, business model, strategy, culture and brand, R&D and innovation, organisation development, human resources, internal communications, marketing, customer service, corporate social responsibility, supply chain management, investor relations, finance, operations, and other corporate activities.

The introduction of a value advocate is a strategic culture change intervention that promises to have a significant beneficial impact on corporate culture.

I act as the company’s interim value advocate until the time comes to make a permanent appointment. When the post is filled, I help the appointed person acquire the necessary knowledge, skills and experience.

Other services

As well as providing the services outlined above, I am also available as:

• A facilitator of groups of any size, from two to 1,000 or more people.
• An individual and team coach.
• A thinking partner.

Please contact me if you think I might be able to help you with innovation, change and the creation of maximum stakeholder value. Note that:

• A face to face meeting is likely to be the most productive first step
• I need some form of ‘work permit’, such as a verbal agreement or letter of intent, before I can suggest specific ways of assisting your organisation.
• I do not write speculative proposals or get involved in competitive tendering.
