Impact Consulting Ltd, together with international network Strategy Regeneration Ltd, created a concept to develop and facilitate the first Innovation Accelerated conference held in Malta last month.

A panel of leading strategists and experienced innovators from across the globe came together for the first time to share their insights and experience, which had delegates participating in a fresh approach to learning: ‘How to make innovation stick.’

Topics ranged from presentation of case studies where implementation of innovation methodology created tangible improvements, to trends in innovation, opportunities to fund innovation and practical workshops which presented tangible knowledge and tools into how to effectively apply innovation into any business.

Strategy regeneration is a global network of experts who work with various innovation and change management methodologies, including Blue Ocean Strategy. While global in nature, they are small enough to be nimble and flexible in their approach and count among their clients leading international companies, including Pfizer, Astra Zeneca, Johnson & Johnson, Starwood Hotels & Resorts, LG and Danone.

Impact Consulting Ltd, based in Malta, was established three years ago. Robyn Pratt, the company’s managing director, works with companies to achieve improvements based on different ways of thinking and procedures to implement change.

Ms Pratt identified the opportunity to make innovation more tangible when she spoke to organisations who used the word ‘innovation’ often when talking strategy. However, they couldn’t put their finger on how to effectively implement innovation to improve their results. She collaborated with the Strategy Regeneration team, of which she is an associate, to launch Innovation Accelerated in Malta before taking it to the rest of the world.
