Exploring How To Link Innovation, Partnerships And Platforms
In this podcast with fluido I talk about how innovation is enabled by a combination of people, processes, and technology.
I’ve more than a decade’s experience setting up, managing and delivering over £50M worth of large, multi-institution collaborations, innovation projects, and knowledge-transfer programmes. Find out more about the programs I’ve worked on, the projects I’ve set up, what I’ve learned and how I can help you.
Do you need someone who can tell your story? Who can pull together all the things you’ve done in a coherent, accessible form? Need a content strategy to maximise the impact you’ve had? I write magazines and articles to get your story across to the right audiences, and I can help you develop and deliver content strategies.
I’ve helped many large programmes organise themselves so they can report on their KPIs and track their impact using evidence to support programme delivery and evaluation. Find out more!
I’ve set up and delivered more than £50M worth of innovation programmes that deliver innovation at scale – adding hundreds of jobs, improving thousands of services, and enabling millions in economic growth. From Smart Cities to e-government to data to health, see how I can help you.
I’ve lead successful funding bids for European & innovation funding for over €12M, for health funding for £1M, and have contributed to innovation funding for another £15M. Get in touch to see how I can help you deliver successful bids.
I’ve almost 20 years experience managing and commissioning almost £10M worth of research. From programme design to call management to commissioning to contracting, to research management, I can help you get what you want from your research programme.

BLING has just published my latest magazine – Blockchain and Government in Europe. This 84 page magazine brings together 11 interviews and 8 new blockchain use-cases to explore the state of Blockchain in Government in Europe.
LIKE! supported the development of local ‘innovation cultures’ in cities across Europe. Our content strategy pulled together the findings and key lessons learned into a set of 4 magazines. Learn why we took this approach
With a focus on making content accessible to a wide audience, the magazines covered key themes and showcased the value of international collaborations within the project.
See a video intro to the set of magazines I wrote earlier this year that capture everything that the LIKE! project has learned about accelerating innovation and building capacity by developing ‘innovation cultures’.
I developed the ‘LIKE Cycle’ as an iterative model for capacity development and innovation that builds upon everything we’ve learned delivering the LIKE! project. The LIKE Cycle is a both a pathway for individual and organisational skills development, and a roadmap for service innovation and development.
There’s a real expectation that cities and municipalities will be innovative – almost by default. Innovation requires skilled staff and a flexible organisation, so Like! explored ways to develop organisations to embed innovation in how they work and in how they design and improve services.
LIKE’s Smarter Services work developed new ways of working with citizens and service users to use data and information to complement efforts to co-design better services. There were three themes: 1) Data for Smarter services, 2) Local services, and 3) Channel and content strategies
LIKE! has been developing new ways for cities and communities to use data – to design and deliver better services, and to make better policy decisions for communities.
The ‘Creating Digital DNA’ work in LIKE! has focused on 3 areas: 1) Digital dashboards, 2) Local data for local services, and 3) the Internet of things (IoT).
Learn how BLING (Blockchain in Government) plans to accelerate and de-risk the development and deployment of blockchain-enabled e-services in the North Sea Region of Europe.
A key risk faced by many projects is they didn’t make sure that they had enough staff to deliver what they promised.
I’ll tell you why this is such a big deal to funders and managers, and how you can change your approach to better manage this risk.
BLING – BLockchain in Government – is a €5M collaboration of 13 organisations – governments, cities and universities – who are exploring how governments can use blockchain to enable the next generation of smart services.
Key lessons in how to structure a high-risk project that keeps funders happy and give you flexibility in managing innovation programmes.
