We help brands develop and deliver disruptive innovations that create change and accelerate growth.

About us

What is your organization’s innovation quotient (IQ), which triggers your team to move from being "inspired by" the opportunities they see to being "inspired to" take action and unlock innovation? We start with the “BIG Why” to align your internal culture to external opportunities, then host “BIG Ideas” workshops to source ideas from across the company, and finally co-create prototypes via the “BIG Test” to create “BIG Disruptions” in the marketplace. Teaching over 500 MBA students each year, both online and onsite, we can effectively facilitate this work across hybrid teams, at your offices, or during an offsite retreat. How might we help you?

Consider using #AI to augment your workforce and improve response metrics. 🔥 Here are the  action steps my clients are implementing: 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧 𝐘𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐓𝐞𝐚𝐦 ↳ This is where most clients start their journey.

AI thrives on clean data, so ensure you collect, organize, and analyze it properly. 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥, 𝐏𝐥𝐚𝐧 𝐁𝐈𝐆 ↳ Begin with pilot AI projects, but get buy-in that successful pilots will be scaled across silos. Don’t let the momentum stall. 𝐏𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐄𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐬 ↳ AI adoption can be complex. Collaborate with consultants, like The Berkeley Innovation Group that specialize in AI to ensure you’re implementing the right solutions.

  • 𝐂𝐚𝐧'𝐭 𝐁𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐚 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐤𝐞𝐭? It’s not your product. It’s your messaging. Take UiPath , a leader in AI-driven #automation. As they expanded globally, they went beyond simply promoting their #technology. They tailored their value proposition to meet the unique challenges of each market, focusing on key pain points. In Europe, the emphasis was on efficiency. In Asia, cost savings took precedence. To win in new markets, follow these steps: 1. Research local norms: Talk to your customers in their voice. 2. Localize your language: Speak in the terms targeted to the market. 3. Show you get them: Highlight how you address their specific needs. People buy from brands they 𝙧𝙚𝙡𝙖𝙩𝙚 to. Be the brand your customers connect with. 💯 #TheBerkeleyInnovationGroup #BIGInsights #strategy #businessgrowth #marketingstrategy ♻️ Repost this to inspire others. 🌐 Explore more at The Berkeley Innovation Group for insights like this. 🎙️ Subscribe to #TheBigStrategyPodcast for industry experts’ insights. 📩 Got questions or need guidance?

    𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐢𝐬 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐝. Look at Howard Schultz When Starbucks was in trouble, he brought the company back to its roots by focusing on core values, quality, and culture. Is there an Act II? Clarity creates focus, and consistency drives impact. Can Brian Niccol refocus the brand addicted to sugary, to-go drinks? Forget flawless execution. Perfection is the enemy of progress. Build a foundation of clarity. Stay consistent and let the results follow. 💯 #JeffEyet #TheBerkeleyInnovationGroup #BIGInsights #leadership #motivation #teamwork #clarity #consistency ♻️ Repost this to help others elevate their business strategies!  🔔 Follow Jeff Eyet 🔑✨ for insights like this. 🌐 Explore more at The Berkeley Innovation Group. 🎙️ Subscribe to #TheBigStrategyPodcast for industry experts’ insights. 📩 Got questions or need guidance?

𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭? ↪ Frustrated customers. ↪ Stressed out teams. ↪ Reduced profitability. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐢𝐝 𝐰𝐞 𝐚𝐝𝐯𝐢𝐬𝐞? -Map the process: start with the user’s goal. -Find the pain: non-automated approvals waste time. -Simplify: automated tasks and empowered the team to make real-time exceptions 𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐮𝐥𝐭? ↪ Onboarding time was cut in half. ↪ Customer satisfaction increased. ↪ The team was freed to focus on growth. Be inspired by Toyota Motor Corporation. They built their success on one idea: eliminating waste. Small changes can lead to BIG wins. Today, audit your #workflows: ↪ Identify three redundant steps. ↪ Remove them. ↪ Simplify. #Efficiency doesn’t just save time, it builds momentum. Remember, efficiency always WINS markets. 💯 #JeffEyet #TheBerkeleyInnovationGroup #BIGInsights #operations #efficiency #workflowoptimization ----- ♻️ Repost this to help others elevate their business strategies! 🔔 Follow Jeff Eyet 🔑✨ for insights like this. 🌐 Explore more at The Berkeley Innovation Group. 🎙️ Subscribe to #TheBigStrategyPodcast for industry experts’ insights. 📩 Got questions or need guidance?
