TRANSFORM AND ELEVATE YOUR INNOVATION PROGRAM
TRANSFORM AND ELEVATE YOUR INNOVATION PROGRAM
The Transform and Elevate Your Innovation Program is an 8 module program designed for medium to large organisations that have identified innovation as a key strategic deliverable, and:
- Are new to the space of designing and executing innovation strategy, OR
- Have begun the innovation journey but are not satisfied with the results to date.
What would it be worth to your business if:
you knew exactly where your innovation blind spots were?
you could eliminate frustrated meetings where multiple metrics are presented but no one has the whole picture on what is happening?
ideas were executed more transparently, collaboratively and timely, and perhaps even close to the budget?
you were confident your innovation portfolio governance has a healthy balance between near-term and long-term bigger play projects?
your teams worked together with clear purpose and passion?
your Board and Exec were fully supportive of Innovation as a strategic pillar, and expectations were both manageable and attainable?
This Transform and Elevate Program will teach you and your people the three core components necessary to step into a new arena of innovation success, permanently:
Find the Innovation Blind Spots
Learn how to laser-in on what is holding your business back and confidently move forward with clear, company wide response.
Design the Innovation Architecture
Understand how to build capability for current and future innovation needs without complicating the process.
Execute and Elevate
Confidently equip your people to deliver tangible innovation outputs and put your business in the driving seat when executing small- and large-scale projects.

University of Newcastle:
"The University of Newcastle’s I2N is expected to service a wide variety of customers, from sole proprietors through to SME leaders and corporate entrepreneurs. Claire has proven time and again her capacity to deliver engaging content in an insightful and thoughtful manner, using practical frameworks and examples. Claire is generous in her knowledge and is very practical and down to earth - there is no spin - which is very refreshing. If you decide to work with Claire you won’t be disappointed."
SIOBHAN CURRAN
Senior Manager, I2N and Innovation, University of Newcastle
"Other speakers can talk the talk but may not really know the depths of it all. Claire knew it backwards and founders can pick up on that instantly. And they really responded so well to the content because they trusted her. This is perfect for anyone really committed to looking at how they can improve things – it’s for someone willing to commit, not someone wanting a quick training to tick a box."
DIMITY SMITH
Project Officer, NSW Rural Women's Network at NSW Department of Primary Industries and Community, Outreach and Communications Manager, UNE SMART Region Incubator
"The work for us was about commercialisation and improving the speed and efficiency to market of great innovation. Claire has a great handle on this topic. She doesn’t pull any punches, you are not going to get a business as usual report."
