Teaching & programmes

Eight programmes — taught at business schools, and run in-house for leadership teams.

Each one works as a full course, a module inside a programme you already run, a one-day workshop for a team, or a conference keynote. For companies, the content is rebuilt around your market, your constraints and your examples — not a generic deck with your logo on it. Delivered in English.

01 — AI and new business models

Two programmes

AI for the Innovation ProcessUsing AI across the whole cycle — researching the problem, generating ideas, prototyping, testing — and covering that ground far faster.
Business Model Innovation in the Age of AIHow a business model actually works, how to design and test a new one, and what AI changes about the economics. A good product will not save an outdated model.

02 — Strategy, foresight and portfolio

Four programmes

Innovation Strategy & Portfolio ManagementDeciding which innovations to fund, how to balance the portfolio, and how to get new products to market. Without this, innovation becomes a set of unrelated attempts.
Strategic Foresight: Trends, Scenarios & Future-ProofingTracking trends, building several plausible futures, and stress-testing a strategy against each. You cannot predict the future, but you can be ready for more than one version of it.
Disruptive Innovation & Incumbent ResponseHow new entrants displace market leaders, and what a large company can actually do about it. Incumbents usually see the threat late.
Open Innovation & Ecosystem StrategyWorking with startups, universities and partners on new products, instead of building everything in-house at full cost and full speed.

03 — Practice and teams

Two programmes

Innovative Thinking: 7 Practices of the InnovatorRuns as its own product, with a site, formats and a free self-assessment. Noticing, understanding, connecting, imagining, acting, persisting, co-creating — each practised on the participant’s own project. Creativity supplies the idea; these turn it into an innovation.
Building & Leading Innovative TeamsStructuring teams and processes so innovation happens regularly, and leading people through the change. Ideas rarely die because they were bad — they die because the organisation was in the way.

What a programme can do

One programme, six countries

Reframing a three-day hackathon into something that actually shipped

An international legal-empowerment programme asked me for a standard three-day design-thinking hackathon. I came back with a different shape: assigned reading first, then a ten-day collaborative period, then three weeks of teaching and mentoring teams from Tanzania, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, North Macedonia and Ukraine. I reviewed every team’s implementation plan myself.

The Sierra Leone team’s idea became a signed policy paper from the Freetown city government on protecting domestic workers.

For a company, this usually starts with a short call about what the team actually needs, then one session, then a decision about whether to run the whole thing. I have taught at the Kyiv School of Economics Graduate Business School since 2016 and at UCU Business School (LvBS).
