I offer in person and e-consultation to help with the following challenges:
- You lack an overview of local or global trends. You would like to have more clarity and foresight
- You have a very clear view on a particular problem but you feel you lack the creativity or know how to turn that problem into an opportunity
- You have one or more ideas but you don't know how to transform them into a public good or private venture
- You face paralysis. You struggle to build and move a team or organization in a certain direction and inspire them. Perhaps there is too much hesitation about whether to buy, build, or partner. You need to speed things up while remaining considerate. You would like a just transition that maintains harmony.
- You face an international and competitive environment and want to start to take advantage of the international context and initiate more international collaborations
- You struggle to assess the feasibility and impact of a new initiative
- You feel stuck in launching small efforts and want to bring scale to your transformational efforts.

- A higher return on investment and a just transition pathway
- Enhanced understanding of risks, feasibility, impact, strengths, and more future readiness
- Fleshed out and meaningful ideas that have the power to inspire you and your team(s) and can trigger them into action
- Ongoing and pro-active experimentation and learning
- The rapid development of innovative solutions, public goods, or private ventures
- Increased levels of inspiration and collaboration
- Lasting systems to underpin further investments, acquisitions, partnering, innovation, internationalization, and learning
