Unlock Frontline Innovation
Most organisations are having the wrong conversation about AI. While leaders debate what AI can do, they're overlooking something far more valuable, the human wisdom already inside their organisation. The people closest to the work see things strategy never sees. They know what's breaking, what customers actually want, and where the real opportunities are. And almost none of it reaches the boardroom.
Innovation belongs to everyone. But most innovation programs fail because real innovation isn't about one-off projects or elite teams, it comes from unlocking the ideas already inside your people. AI can process data. It can't replace the ingenuity of a frontline person who's been doing the job for years. That wisdom isn't being replaced by AI. It's being ignored. Drawing on field research from the Ingenious Oz Project and doctoral research into grassroots innovation, Nigel shows leaders how to unlock the frontline wisdom that's been there all along. Suitable for leadership conferences, national staff conferences, strategy days and industry summits. They are fully tailored to suit your brief and your audience.
