Ignite Exponential

Your strategic innovation partner

We help corporate leaders grow through disruption

Your teams are expert in your industry but in new and changing spaces, traditional industry expertise might be limiting your growth.

Your strategic innovation partner

Our experience shows how you define, design, and deliver innovation teams and initiatives makes all the difference between failure and success.

For example, companies with a strong link between business strategy and innovation generate a 74% higher share of revenue from new products. And yet, only 12% of executives say they have that link (ref. BCG).

Ignite Exponential is a strategic partner to corporate leaders to help address three types of strategic innovation challenges

How to Innovate best

There is no universal way to innovate. Our experience shows the right innovation structure, process and tools depend on the specific context and uncertainties you’re facing. And so too when innovation is used to drive Transformation, Productivity, Sustainability, and especially when using AI!

Our team brings decades of experience from 100’s of collaborations with other global corporate leaders. And beyond our own experience, we broker learning exchanges with non-competing leaders who have been in your shoes before. This means we can help your team learn from beyond your industry, navigate the real complexities they face, and build the right innovation strategy, structure, process, and capabilities to succeed.

Where to Focus for growth

Whether through new products, technologies, markets, or business models, innovation is critical for growth. But there are new unknowns, uncertainties, and challenges inherent in adjacent spaces compared to your core business.

Our cross-industry and multi-functional expertise allows us to independently explore growth opportunities in new and adjacent markets to help your team systematically evaluate where to focus new products, technologies, business models – and more importantly where not to!

What to Create

In many established companies there is a gap between strategy and execution. Much can be lost in translation between boardroom ambitions, functional handovers, and the development of a final product. We recognise that especially for disruptive innovation the translation from vision to strategy to specification is critical and shouldn’t be left to chance.

Our team is proudly multi-disciplinary bringing decades of strategic, marketing, technology, and business experience. This allows us to translate between functional silos and find the critical “red thread” for making systematic innovation happen.
