The motto of my alma mater is Meliora - ever better. 

I take that attitude into every situation and have applied it for over 30 years to improve product development and launch - from starting the first Quality Circle for engineering practices at a large aerospace company to running a project office to coaching for continuous  improvement of the product development system from within a large international business to business company

How we work

01. Assessment

Every improvement must start with understanding the real problems. Your company has unique strengths, opportunities, and market needs but also internal and external constraints that must be a key part of starting a successful business innovation.

Our assessment model ensures that together we uncover the right root causes and potential solutions that fits in your business landscape.

But is it then not complex or cumbersome? No - we scale our assessment to your situation. Full system assessments can take up to a week. Focused assessments can be done in a day.

02. Coaching

We provide coaching for all levels of the organization.

Sr. Business Leaders

  • Investing and governing innovation

  • The right setup to support both innovation and operations

Line And Functional Leaders

  • Roles & responsibilities

  • Balance control and delegation, decision-making, and supporting innovation

03. Workshops

Workshops are a great way to:

  • Ensure your teams stays interested and engaged

  • understand a complex topic

  • start a project the right way

In our workshops, we use the right balance of experiments, interactions, and reflection to ensure success and fun!

We also offer virtual workshops, so that distance is not an issue.

Success is the only thing we care about.

Our Business Acceleration Model was developed based on our experience delivering successful and failed transformations in innovation, product, and service development over the last 20 years. We know what works and what doesn’t because we have tried it.

We can take you from where you are to a new normal where frequent deliveries and measurable return on your investments are natural. No matter whether you want to improve your time to market, cost of innovation, quality, or employee happiness: We are your partners!

Let's Build Success Together

At Aspire Innovation, we help businesses navigate complexity, accelerate execution, and build sustainable success. Whether you need guidance, process improvements, or hands-on execution, we’re here to help.
