About Chris Locke

How can we confidently take informed bets that advance our innovation agenda? To plan for the future, you first need a clear view of the present, with all of its threats and opportunities. Compass offers organisations a multi-dimensional view of fast-evolving markets, identifying start-up, scale-up and incumbent activity. Startups are the ‘canary in the coal mine’ for big corporations. They offer early warning signals for changes that are taking place in the marketplace. We use startups as a proxy to identify trends, disruptions and opportunities. In particular, we look at where and how these early signals affect technology convergence, digital-play and value-chain disruptions. Which fuels an innovation roadmap that offers a comprehensive and holistic plan-of-action. A critical first step in helping you re-define the future of your business. We created Compass as a tool for executives to identify: ? What is driving change? ?Where should we play? ?How should we play? ?How can we realise this?
