Bonfire of the vanities?

Is your innovation programme a valuable asset

or a budget-burning vanity?

It’s a question many companies cannot answer. Because they simply don’t know.  Innovation teams struggle to predict – let alone prove – their ROI. With no clear evidence, management confidence evaporates. Budgets are cut. Brilliant pioneering work collapses. And the cycle keeps repeating. It’s a vicious circle.

So, on Wednesday 11^th February, we will be asking – and answering – the only question that really matters: how much value will your innovation deliver?

A radical solution from the trenches

Simon Hill has spent over a decade watching this frustrating pattern destroy promising innovation work. As the CEO of Wazoku, he has also worked with giants – such as Microsoft, Shell, AstraZeneca, Nissan, Diageo, NASA plus multiple US and UK government departments – to deliver verified, very significant, innovation value.

From these successes, he has developed a unique algorithm that changes everything. It scores expected values in real-time. It turns gut feelings into hard numbers. It also surfaces champions and eliminates expensive failures – from the outset. You know your ROI – Return On Innovation – before you invest a penny.

This is not another innovation theatre or ideation workshop

Our February 11^th event will not be a conventional senior executive briefing….

Simon will be our expert speaker. He will share the challenges of his work and the value-driven solutions. He will answer probing questions in an open discussion forum. But, even more importantly, he has agreed to run a live demonstration of the Expected Value (xV) platform. Submit an innovation idea and you will see the unique algorithm in real-time action.
