Research & Writing
My work is informed by both practice and research.
I am interested in how innovation capability is built, how innovation systems function, and how leaders and organisations turn innovation from aspiration into disciplined practice.
Alongside my research, I write on innovation management, leadership, capability, ecosystems, governance, and related topics. My writing is aimed at helping leaders and practitioners move beyond abstract innovation language and towards clearer, more practical, and more measurable approaches.
Current themes include:
innovation management as a professional discipline
innovation strategy and governance
innovation capability and maturity
ecosystems and collaboration
standards-aligned innovation practice
leadership and innovation systems
