Assessment / Review
According to BCG (2024) 'a company’s ability to innovate isn’t just an advantage—it’s a necessity. But organizations have never been as ill prepared to reach their innovation goals as they are today.' Communication is thereby also of increasing interest because (1) we have entered a new information-communication age with AI (tech-human relationship) and (2) innovation-communication is a new leader's view that can make a difference.
The question for a strategic leadership review is how innovation (growth, functional view) and communication (people, relational view) are linked to make a difference in the world. The functional view of innovation communication helps managers and leaders to invest in and cultivate innovation communication--linked to strategy--at different levels of an organization. Beyond that, the relational view is, however, critical for leaders to focus on people and harness the power of innovation communication.
Leadership Review: Innovation Communication Palette
This strategic leadership review focuses on a cutting-edge theme in leadership and strategy (transformation): Innovation communication. Together we will develop a new perspective and focus on how you can better harness the power of innovation communication and, linked to a new open strategy framework, invest in your innovation communication palette.
It is a qualitative approach, a three-month study, with interviews and further information / data and content to write a clear, forward-thinking executive summary, provide new insights and thoughtful recommenations based on clarity, alignment and (inter)action (see my approach).

From strategy transformation to innovation (communication)
Strategy needs innovation and communication to spark new ideas and create a company's future. Moreover, strategy needs a new way of thinking in today's business world. In fact, a strategist is needed more than ever in the transformative digital age. The Open Strategy Architecture is a new strategy approach for strategists, innovators and leaders to build an innovative, meaningful and successful organization. It shows a new way of how to strategize, innovate and communicate at different levels, for instance, how to link dynamic strategy to co-creation and innovation communication.
Linked to strategy the new innovation communication palette is a powerful approach (1) to systematically communicate the new, (2) envision the future as a thought leader, (3) lead and transform with passion and ideas to co-create a better organization/world, and/or (4) spread ideas to rethink/refocus (co-imagination). Innovation communication focuses on the interplay of innovative thinking skills, individual voice (expression) and the discovery of the unknown, the unexpected, the realm of what can be possible and the focus zone. A unique human skill set to create the future and co-create better organizations and world. Be future-ready!
