I help organizations set direction, build the capabilities they need, and move important initiatives from strategy through execution. The work can be a focused project, added capacity for your team, or hands-on executive support.

I can lead a project independently, work alongside your team, or provide fractional executive support. When more expertise is needed, I bring in independent consultants from a trusted network and manage the team around the assignment.

Innovation program development and implementation

I help organizations build an innovation program from the ground up or strengthen one already underway. Together, we define goals, design the program, set measures of progress, and carry the plan into implementation.

Strategic planning and execution

I help leaders clarify direction, set priorities, and turn strategy into an actionable plan. This can include stakeholder input, goals, work plans, clear ownership, measures, and ongoing implementation support.

Operations assessments and improvements

I assess how work gets done, including roles, processes, budgets, systems, and decision-making. I identify practical ways to improve performance and help put stronger operating practices in place.

Market assessments and landscape analyses

I help organizations understand a market, policy environment, technology area, or stakeholder landscape before making strategic decisions. The work can include interviews, surveys, research, competitor and partner mapping, and recommendations for growth or market entry.

Open innovation program design and operations

I advise on, design, and operate open innovation programs, including prizes and challenges. This can include program structure, rules, timelines, partnerships, evaluation, participant communications, and the operations needed to move ideas toward adoption.

Fractional COO and executive operations support

I provide hands-on operating leadership when an organization needs senior capacity without a full-time COO. I can translate strategy into priorities, manage budgets and vendors, strengthen internal systems, support teams, and help leaders navigate growth or change.

Culture development and refinement

I help organizations understand how their culture supports their goals and where it gets in the way. I work with leaders and teams to identify practical changes, clarify important behaviors, and build routines that support collaboration, accountability, and innovation.

Workshops, events, and facilitation

I design and facilitate talks, workshops, executive retreats, planning sessions, stakeholder meetings, and complex events. Sessions can introduce open innovation and emerging tools, or help a group make decisions and move work forward.

Stakeholder engagement

I bring diverse stakeholders together around a shared impact goal through workshops, facilitated discussions, and follow-on programs that support continued participation.

SURVEY DESign & analysis

I design and administer online surveys with open- and closed-ended questions, supplement responses with interviews, and analyze the findings to inform strategy, program design, and implementation.
