Founder | Consultant | Trainer | Coach

The Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox (TILT) is about creating innovative habits. It’s not a one-directed training that ends up in your drawer. It’s an applied learning approach to develop intrapreneurs that can independently generate value for your company!

Tailored Intrapreneurship Learning Toolbox

Storytelling is a fantastic way to share and inspire! I have experiences to draw upon and share – the good, the bad and the ugly. If you’re looking for an experienced and inspiring speaker – look no further. I’d love to work with you for other event-related work, such as event moderation, innovation panelist, and workshop host.

Exciting Keynotes

Having lived and breathed Ideation & Innovation as a practitioner, I can now provide you with hands-on advise as your trainer and coach. At the heart of successful, value generating ideation is setting the right question and driving a more intense collaboration. It’ll deliver higher implementation ratios and thus enable you to realize more value.

Enabling Training & Coaching

Hire me as your external Campaign or Community Manager, or completely outsource online ideation to me with the RiverStoneBlue All-In-One Ideation Pack.

Intern Business Improvement

Igniting innovation within corporate walls is my passion. For over a decade, I've guided corporate employees to unlock their creative potential and drive meaningful change from within their organizations.

Many talented professionals feel stifled by rigid corporate structures, struggling to bring fresh ideas to life. I bridge this gap, empowering individuals to become catalysts for innovation in their companies.

Through proven frameworks and hands-on learning experiences, I transform corporate employees into skilled intrapreneurs. My approach blends design thinking, lean startup methodologies, and business model innovation to equip professionals with practical tools for ideation and execution.

Participants in my programs consistently report increased confidence in pitching ideas, improved problem-solving skills, and a renewed sense of purpose in their roles. Many have successfully launched internal projects that have significantly impacted their organizations' bottom lines.

My tailored courses and workshops have helped hundreds of corporate innovators across various industries. From ideation sprints to long-term innovation capability building, I provide the guidance and support needed to navigate the complexities of corporate innovation.

If you're ready to unleash your innovative potential and make a lasting impact within your organization, let's connect. Together, we can transform your ideas into reality and propel your career to new heights.

Hoi! Ik ben Maurice, innovatie consultant in de energie sector. 
Ik help mijn klanten met het invullen van een helder innovatie-en productproces, zodat de juiste keuzes gemaakt worden. 

Dit doe ik door onderliggende uitdagingen bloot te leggen, technologisch onderzoek te doen, samen te werken aan oplossingen en het testen van concepten met prototypes. Zo help ik organisaties om gefundeerde keuzes te maken voor hun innovatie portfolio.

Ik heb 7 jaar ervaring in het tot leven brengen van technologische innovaties binnen grote organisaties én als founder van een startup.

Wil je starten met gericht innoveren en zie je een innovatie expeditie met mij zitten? stuur me een berichtje! Dat kan op Maurice.Smulders@samsara-innovation.nl 💌
