Master The Human Dynamics of Innovation

Leading breakthrough innovation is simultaneously the most fulfilling and most isolating experience in business. You need specialized support from someone who understands the weight of your role because they’ve carried it themselves.

Brett Macfarlane partners with senior executives to land the innovations that will define their organizations for years to come. Using psychodynamically-informed methods, he develops the behavioural capabilities and systemic awareness that separate successful innovation leaders from those who struggle in silence.

 

Trusted by Fortune 500 executives, tech entrepreneurs, central banks, and leading consultancies.
