Geoffrey Wade - De-risk Innovation

This week’s guest, Geoffrey Wade is an interesting guy, which makes this episode entertaining as well as informative.

He’s led many businesses through change and innovation, and this took him to question risk management as part of innovation. The outcome is a partnership in a program that simulates the innovation. The implications are dramatic…but don’t take our word for it…have a listen and gauge for yourself.

Geoff brings an unusual and valuable mix of qualifications in science, engineering, business administration, cognitive science, and NLP together more than 30 years commercial experience to give him a unique perspective on innovation in business.

His engineering helps him understand the hard, measurable physical aspect of reality and process plus the cybernetics of large, messy, probabilistic systems that are goal oriented (systems like organisations). His business qualifications and experience helps understand the critical business drivers and levers. His human performance studies help appreciate how people make sense of the world, how they know what they know and do what they do, how they achieve high performance, and how they can make fast and lasting change. It is the intersection of these fields that gives him a unique ability to help leaders attend to and master foundations of innovation, high velocity change and quantum leap performance improvement.
