"With our organisational silos, it would have taken us a year to achieve what we did in just 60 days, using just 20% of our time. Impact: 2 failed prototypes, 1 successful (10x reduced cost + higher impact) + £100K seed funding"
"I have a small central innovation team so we didn't have the capacity to support innovation at scale. I had trouble finding innovation support programmes that were potential for systemic impact across our organisation - until I found Co.Creator"

He works with you, adds structure, rigour, new hypotheses, and capacity to "get shi* done". We went from a failing project (our service was losing money) and with his direct intervention over 60 days, we prototyped 3 different business models and found one to have greatest impact, generating £100K in funding - all in 60 days and us working 20% of the time on the new idea..."
