Our Story
Our journey began by exploring new ways to familiarise individuals with and adapt to the concept of volatility, uncertainty, complexity and ambiguity (VUCA) in an disruptive world.
To safely exit their comfort zones and embrace new risk perspectives, in navigating the twists and turns inherent in the creation, invention and innovation process.
We set out to combine Grants’, experience, as a tech start-up founder, and owner of multiple brick and mortar businesses with Janet's corporate change management and learning and development experience and global start-up success in providing online innovation learning and coaching.
As a result we co-created a new way of of fostering innovative entrepreneurship and creative problem-solving skills to tackle the broader knowledge gaps, in businesses, corporations, teams and academia in being innovative and new venture creation.
The contribution from the global mastermind Coach for Innovators Amplifiers group enabled us to view innovation as the glue to achieve sustainable change and incorporate a Sustainability and Triple Bottom Line element.
