Will has a background in innovation across a diverse range of sectors using creativity to overcome barriers to growth in every aspect of the business from products and marketing to business models, processes and communication. His clients are in a broad range of sectors including manufacturing, retail, technology, the service industry, professional services and digital sectors. His focus on the deliberate act of innovation, rather than any particular sector or subject, means that he can add value to any business or organisation.
Will has a deep knowledge of innovation and is experienced in using a wide range of engagement tools and techniques to create value. He is also skilled at designing and delivering experiential programmes. As a presenter Will uses participative techniques to get the best out of groups and get traction even when the subject is contentious. This helps teams to more effectively explore difficult concepts, whilst encouraging positive contributions from all stakeholders so that new ideas have a sense of shared ownership.
Will sees his role as that of facilitator, to guide delegates to experience the techniques in action, so that they can experience for themselves how innovation tools and techniques can be applied to ideas generation. Will is a thoroughly engaging presenter and delivers an invigorating, deep reaching and memorable Masterclass with the promise that learners "won't be sitting in rows listening to him speak".
