From idea to outcome — activate what drives real innovation

Building on my own experience, and on the experience of Codesign-it — who has supported over 50 internal innovation labs across public and private sectors — I help organizations design, activate, and evolve their own labs.

Whether at launch, running phase or at a pivotal moment, my approach draws on the Lab Framework, a model that defines 11 key dimensions for a lab's success, including intention, governance, teams, methodology, ecosystem, and impact.

Expertise areas

Innovation Lab 
Architecture & Launch

Together, we shape the vision, structure, and governance of your innovation lab — setting the foundations for meaningful experimentation, strategic alignment, and long-term impact.

Innovation Lab Co-Piloting

Alongside the lab's internal team, I structure & deliver programs, engage stakeholders, and ensure consistent impact throughout the innovation journey.

Framing & Proof-of-Concept Acceleration

I design and facilitate workshops to frame opportunities, surface ideas, and guide teams through early validation — accelerating pilots and turning promising concepts into actionable solutions.

Innovation-Driven Culture

I curate talks, innovation days, and awareness moments that make innovation visible and credible internally — while opening the organization to external perspectives through my network of innovation experts.
