“57% of companies don’t have a formal innovation process. While 78% of organisations with a process just focus on incremental changes.”
— CB Insights
Successful business leaders are increasingly looking beyond the status quo to envision their preferable futures.
We know: innovation is very hard. As popular approaches fail to reach below the surface, journeys often end up with uninspiring ideas and ordinary optimisations.
It shouldn’t be this way. Using Imagination, Sensemaking, and Curiosity, you can ignite reinvention and embark on a successful innovation journey.

We live in the era of Futurbulences, where organisations have to adapt to a multipolar world overwhelmed by large-scale problems that refuse to disappear and multiply rapidly.
“Futurbulences are complex and hybrid events that surprisingly arriving earlier than expected. They challenge both the worldviews of leaders and their ability to respond, often ill-equipped to deal with these phenomenons of the future.”
— Pascal Wicht, founder of Whisper & Giants
