Unique approach for success & growth
With years of experience in crafting successful consortia and groundbreaking innovation projects, I've developed a feeling to recognise which partnerships will flourish and deliver great project results. It got me thinking—was this just a gut feeling, or could I break it down into a formula that others could use too? Turns out, I could.
My book "Win-Winnovation," laid out the core principles of creating successful collaborative innovation. I didn't stop there, though. I refined these ideas into a practical, repeatable formula that anyone can use to turn ambitious innovation goals into reality. Today, I’m using this approach to build and boost results for my customers, an effort that brought me successes & awards.
I started Origanius to take this a step further. The goal? To train you in these tried-and-tested methods, boosting your chances of success in your own innovative ventures.
Let’s make your next project a standout success together.
