Scaling innovation in complex environments

Your human intelligence

Scaling initial success out to a wider, complex environment is like taking your baby on international travel - you know what worked in a home environment but how will they fare beyond safe borders.

You can ask Claude or ChatGPT - but there’s a chance they’ll flatter you into following a hallucinated vision.

I am your HI - Human Intelligence. Your very own PhD in Mathematics, Humanitarian and Business Experienced Technologist and a Mentor for Scaling AI to the UN.

Scaling innovation in complex environments

I’m here to support you as a Scaling Mentor, Coach, Consultant and/or Facilitator at any point in your journey - high or low.

With my experience across a broad range of sectors and scales of innovation means your problems - whilst always unique in their combinations - are rarely unique in their parts. We can work together to unpack and break them down into surmountable challenges.

Unlike the large consulting firms I used to work for, I am a flexible, affordable alternative with the same experience.

As a mum of 2, I keep my contracts small and adaptable - creating high value for time and money invested.

Do you need help with?

  • Bridging the technical - organisational gap - life rafting out of deep expertise perspective and into empathetic balance with colleagues; conveying complex, technical concepts in relatable language and formats,

  • Building and maintaining cross-functional teams - hiring for scaling skills, skills boosting, recognising strengths and challenges such as cognitive overload,

  • Organisational impact of innovation - structures for success, culture shifts, finding agency and autonomy

  • Partnerships around scaled innovations - collaboration programme design - creating a lasting, shared understanding, seeding then ceding control as a partner, working within a power imbalance.
