Author of 7 books on DesignThinking & Innovation f.e. Breaking Innovation Barriers (2024)

Future-Fit Manifesto

Charter member of this highly-regarded, highly-impactful, and very forward-looking think tank.

On the Twentieth Anniversary of the Agile Manifesto, we collectively crafted "The Future Fit Manifesto" - a manifesto that charges organizations with proactively shaping their futures, not simply reacting to the future as it unfolds - a recipe that no longer works given the pace of technological change we are witnessing.

This think tank will constantly champion the cause of the Future Fit / Future Ready organization - organizations capable of remaining relevant to the world of today, while also resilient to the ongoing sea of change happening all about us. These are the organizations who will still be creating tremendous value - not years, not decades, but centuries from now.

Gijsbertus J.J. van Wulfen

How can you grow innovation in an organisation that is tired and overloaded?

No! Not by launching yet another innovation programme.

Tired teams don’t need more. They need different.

Here are 5 things to do:

1. Kill before you create

You can’t grow innovation on top of a full plate.
Make a stop list before a to-do list: which meetings, reports, projects and rituals will you end to free up energy for new ideas?

2. Protect small islands of focus time

Innovation dies in back-to-back calendars.
Block fixed “no meeting” slots or a monthly sprint where teams can work on one opportunity without interruptions. Guard this time like you guard client deadlines.

3. Shrink the ambition, speed up the learning

Overloaded people fear “big transformation”.
Instead, ask for tiny experiments: 1 idea, 1 customer segment, 1 simple test within 2–4 weeks. The goal is learning, not a perfect business case.

4. Change leadership behaviour, not posters

Culture follows what leaders do on Monday morning. Leaders should ask: “What did we learn?” more often than “Did we hit the numbers?” and publicly reward smart experiments, even when they don’t “win”.

5. Make progress visible and human

Tired organisations often are moving… they just can’t see it. Create a simple “innovation wall” (physical or digital) showing ideas, tests, and outcomes. Celebrate small wins with names and faces, not just dashboards.

Innovation culture doesn’t start with energy.
It starts with permission, space and small, real progress – especially when everyone is tired.

“Innovation is a battlefield.” ⚔️

Every day, innovators step into the unknown, face resistance, and keep going anyway. This short movie is a salute to everyone who dares to challenge the status quo, needs to play political fames, and fight for better ideas, better products and a better future.

“Innovators should understand top managers BEFORE they start…”

In this short movie I share why stepping into the shoes of your board and senior leaders is the crucial first step for any innovation journey. 

When you understand their pressures, language and priorities, your ideas have a much better chance of getting real backing — and making real impact.

On my way from Milano 🇮🇹 to Ghent 🇧🇪

Excited to be one of the speakers at the UNIZO  TOPseminar in Ghent, where I’ll be sharing my experience as an innovation strategist, author and keynote speaker.

Over the years I’ve helped many organisations turn fuzzy ideas into concrete innovation results with the FORTH Innovation Method – a structured way to move from insight to validated new concepts.

In my session I’ll talk about:
	•	How to overcome internal resistance to innovation
	•	How SMEs can innovate without big budgets
	•	Practical tools you can apply the next day in your business

If you’re joining the UNIZO TOPseminar, I’d love to meet you, hear your challenges, and exchange ideas on how to make innovation really work for you. 👋

#UNIZOTOPseminar #innovation #keynotespeaker #entrepreneurship #SME #Ghent #Milano

Do you know the main reason WHY innovation gets killed …

It’s not bad ideas.
It’s NO MANAGEMENT SUPPORT – in 52% of all cases.

Too many great concepts die quietly in PowerPoints and pilots because leaders:
	•	Don’t feel ownership
	•	Don’t see the business case
	•	Don’t trust the team (yet)
	•	Or are simply too busy with “today” to invest in “tomorrow”

👉 That’s why getting – and keeping – management buy-in should be your priority number one as an innovator.

I’ve just released my latest book “Breaking Innovation Barriers” with 15 practical strategies to win management support and become a truly impactful innovator.

If you want your next innovation not just to start, but to survive and scale, this book is for you.
