At Novartis in Sweden the challenge was to find new and smarter ways to do things. Paul facilitated a two day workshop with fifty talented executives and we selected five great ideas which were implemented including one which significantly improved how clinical trials were run. Peter Hovstadius, Head of Innovation at Novartis Nordics said,’ Paul moderated an Innovation workshop in Sweden with participants from all Nordics. I am very impressed by Paul’s ability to increase collaboration and understanding of what it takes to be truly innovative today. Also we generated well over 300 new ideas addressing business critical issues. If you are looking for a true performer in driving innovation workshops/processes – this is you man!’
