About Us
What motivates us
Adaptive Innovation was born from diverse and enriching experiences with working on products, technologies and innovation initiatives in general. We have held leadership and consulting roles in various types of organizations, including startups, multinational corporations, and nonprofits. This experience has spanned numerous industries and different regions, including the United States, Canada, and Western and Eastern Europe.
Throughout our professional lives, we have come across and applied several popular innovation methods, such as Lean Startup, Design Thinking, and Agile, among others. While we recognize and appreciate the value of these methodologies, we've also grown increasingly frustrated with their limitations, especially when applied in silos. This includes ambiguity in practical application in complex and large organizations, a lack of a unified approach that convincingly educates and illustrates their combined value, as well as a tendency of innovators to lose sight of the big picture with all of them. This is what motivated us to start this initiative.
