Reduce your Project Failure Risk by Increasing Innovation & Reducing Coordination Overhead

A Hands-On, Results Focussed, Applied Approach to
Leadership & Innovation

Why Do High-Profile Projects Fail?

Many technical projects fail—not due to lack of great ideas but because of breakdowns in execution, poor coordination, and leadership gaps.

🚫 Siloed teams create friction and slow down decision-making.
🚫 Overloaded leaders get stuck firefighting instead of leading.
🚫 Ineffective coordination leads to misalignment and wasted effort.
🚫 Lack of scalable innovation makes success difficult to repeat.

💡 What if you could change this?
✔ Reduce coordination overhead and friction.
✔ Improve execution while fostering a culture of innovation.
✔ Scale leadership capabilities across teams.
✔ Deliver measurable, high-impact projects—on time.

The Next Level Innovation Leadership (NLIL) Program gives you the applied tools, coaching, and leadership development to make this a reality.

What Experts Are Saying

“One of the most critical lessons for R&D organizations is that invention is the easiest part of innovation. I strongly recommend The Innovation Mindset to anyone who wants to learn how to do the more challenging part—the transformation by human teams of inventions into innovations.”
— Dr. Gill Pratt, Chief Scientist of Toyota Motor Corporation & CEO of Toyota Research Institute

"The human aspect of innovation is a perpetual challenge for researchers working at the leading edge of robotics and AI. The Innovation Mindset provides a unique view into how to improve human collaboration in support of greater innovation."
— Prof. Dr. Wolfram Burgard, Professor for Robotics & AI, University of Technology Nuremberg

“The Innovation Mindset offers an effective, well-researched, and focused perspective on the biggest challenge facing innovators: How to consistently drive ambitious performance through the development of human-centered innovation practices.”
— Bob Dunham, Co-author of The Innovator's Way, Founder of the Institute for Generative Leadership

What is The Innovation Mindset?

The Innovation Mindset is a proven method to improve performance and results and to mobilize people and organizations to consistently deliver successful projects.

🚀 Develop an Innovation Mindset – Shift from reactive execution to proactive leadership.
🛠 Reduce Coordination Overhead – Remove friction, optimize alignment, and streamline workflows.
🌍 Create Ecosystem-Wide Alignment – Strengthen networks of commitments for predictable execution.
🔄 Establish Continuous Learning Loops – Adapt, refine, and execute at a higher level.

NLIL is not a traditional leadership program. It is an applied, hands-on, just-in-time coaching experience designed to embed the Innovation Mindset into your daily work.

The Game: Turning Learning into Action

NLIL is not a passive learning program—it is an applied, hands-on leadership transformation.

📌 The Challenge: Over 7 months, each participant will execute a high-impact innovation project that:
✔ Reduces coordination overhead and improves execution efficiency.
✔ Drives alignment and engagement across teams.
✔ Accelerates innovation adoption in high-profile technical projects.
✔ Delivers measurable, business-critical impact.

The result? A repeatable framework for engineering leadership success.
