Let me provide a little more about my own personal innovation journey here
My Innovation intent has been central to this for twenty years; this stays the core of my work. This has progressively ‘funnelled down’ into recognizing the value of ecosystems as the business design for innovation to thrive and deliver more significant value creation. In the past two-plus years, the whole Energy Transition has been my platform to apply my innovation learning and ecosystem thinking. Equally, I believe the Industrial Internet of Things (IIoT) is transforming the way we are managing industry and supports the 4th Industrial Revolution and separate this thinking into a dedicated posting site of innovate4industry.com.
Paul has continued to build out his innovation thinking into different dedicated innovation posting sites, shown here:
