Brett is the CEO and co-founder of Switch Innovation. It’s 2015 and two innovative thinkers — both with a track record of working in corporate banking and establishing disruptive startups — are having a conversation about the need to track innovation. It’s also become apparent that in a lot of corporates there’s an over-reliance on the opinion of senior figures around new product releases, instead of looking to customers (and the market) for feedback on what they want. What do they figure is missing? A trusted, non-competitive space for innovative thinkers to share best practice and highlight the pitfalls that come with the innovation game. And, that’s how the Switch Innovation Club is born. With the support of teams from a few partner companies, who all believe in innovation as a business necessity, thinkers and dreamers alike, openly discuss their challenges and help each other avoid a few common mistakes.
