What is the The Innovation Consultant's Course course about?
Turn fragmented innovation ideas into a single, decision-ready portfolio that leadership trusts and funds. Stop spending every Monday rebuilding the intake spreadsheet while senior leadership still doubts the innovation pipeline's value. Includes a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access, generated for your specific situation.
Why this course?
You spend weeks gathering project proposals from dozens of regional teams, only to see them disappear in endless spreadsheet churn. The lack of a unified intake form, a clear scoring rubric, and a shared dashboard means senior leaders cannot see which ideas deliver real business value, and funding committees repeatedly ask for the same justification. Meanwhile, governance meetings drag on because you.
What do you take away from the The Innovation Consultant's Course course?
A single intake form that captures every new idea in a standardized way. A scoring matrix that ranks proposals against strategic impact, risk, and resource demand. A live portfolio dashboard that updates in real time for leadership reviews. A governance playbook that defines roles, decision gates, and escalation paths. A ready-to-present executive brief that secures funding for the top-ranked initiatives.
What you get with this course?
A unified idea intake form template. A fully populated scoring matrix with weighting guidance. A live portfolio dashboard mock-up. A governance RACI table. A decision-gate checklist. An executive brief one-pager template. A strategic theme alignment register. A risk register integrated with intake. A stakeholder communication cadence guide. A performance metrics dashboard layout. A continuous improvement roadmap worksheet. A complete portfolio pack ready.
What you will have in hand by Day 1, Week 1, Month 1?
Day 1: tailored playbook in hand, intake form template pre-populated for your environment, scoring matrix ready for first use. Week 1: live portfolio dashboard populated with initial project data and shared with the steering committee. Month 1: recurring governance cadence established, portfolio pack presented to senior leadership with real-time metrics.
What does the The Innovation Consultant's Course cover on before and after?
Your current process relies on scattered Word docs, email threads, and ad-hoc spreadsheets that never sync. Evidence lives in individual team folders, making it impossible to produce a single view for leadership. Governance meetings stretch for hours because each sponsor must explain their own format, and audit checks routinely flag missing risk assessments. After the course you have a single intake form.
What happens if you do not address this?
If you ignore this, the next budget cycle will allocate even fewer resources to innovation, and leadership will question the function’s relevance. The quarterly steering committee will continue to stall, and you risk being sidelined in upcoming strategic initiatives.
Who it is for?
An international innovation consultant who designs and runs cross-border capability programs, spends most of the week aligning business units, facilitating portfolio workshops, and translating strategic intent into concrete project pipelines.

The Innovation Consultant's Course on Portfolio Governance When Strategic Plans Stall
Turn fragmented innovation ideas into a single, decision-ready portfolio that leadership trusts and funds.
Stop spending every Monday rebuilding the intake spreadsheet while senior leadership still doubts the innovation pipeline's value.
Includes a hand-built implementation playbook delivered alongside course access, generated for your specific situation.
Why this course
You spend weeks gathering project proposals from dozens of regional teams, only to see them disappear in endless spreadsheet churn. The lack of a unified intake form, a clear scoring rubric, and a shared dashboard means senior leaders cannot see which ideas deliver real business value, and funding committees repeatedly ask for the same justification.
Meanwhile, governance meetings drag on because you have to manually reconcile conflicting roadmaps, re-run the same risk assessments, and chase missing evidence from partners. When a proposal is rejected, you lose credibility and the next round of ideas stalls, jeopardising the innovation pipeline that your firm relies on to stay competitive.
If the situation stays this way, upcoming budget cycles will allocate fewer resources to innovation, and senior executives will question whether the function adds strategic value at all.

Before and after
Your current process relies on scattered Word docs, email threads, and ad-hoc spreadsheets that never sync.

After the course you have a single intake form, a live dashboard, and a governance playbook that runs on a weekly cadence. All evidence is stored in a shared repository, with risk, score, and status updated automatically. You can walk into any senior leadership meeting with a complete portfolio pack that demonstrates clear ROI and compliance.

Why $199 is the right number
A half-day consultant to design the same portfolio framework typically costs $3,000-$5,000, generic innovation certifications run $1,200-$2,000, and building the artefacts yourself can consume 60+ hours of work. At $199 you get a complete, ready-to-use solution with a custom playbook.
