Strategic Advisory Services

I provide strategic advisory support for entrepreneurs, founders, and organizations navigating complex innovation decisions. This includes helping you assess ideas, identify risks early, validate direction, and make informed choices before significant time, money, or reputation are committed.

Advisory support can take many forms—strategic review, decision guidance, problem framing, or navigating uncertainty across innovation, product development, and organizational strategy.

My advisory rate is $400 per hour.
If you are interested in a package that combines advisory services with the seven-module course, let’s discuss an approach that fits your needs.

About 7 module course
Scientist, Innovation Strategist, and R&D Practitioner

Why This Course Exists

Most people believe innovation is about ideas.
In reality, innovation fails or succeeds long before ideas ever reach the market.

After nearly three decades working in advanced R&D, product development, and innovation-driven organizations, one pattern appears again and again:
teams do not fail because they lack creativity — they fail because they commit too early, validate too late, and misunderstand risk.

This course exists to correct that.

It focuses on how to think before you build, how to validate before you invest, and how to recognize failure patterns while they are still reversible.
