What if we could build a net zero carbon world faster?



What if we could accelerate the development and implementation of the technologies we need to address climate change?


In the race to net zero carbon, every year matters.


I have a lot of experience accelerating innovation in industries from pharma & medical devices to specialty materials and renewable energy to consumer products.


I know there are some common patterns that cause innovation programs to get bogged down in execution or even fail altogether because they can't scale.  


If an idea is going to fail, we want it to fail fast — but if it's a great idea we want to accelerate it so that it gets out there sooner and starts making a difference faster.  We don't want it to get stuck with cost overruns or launch delays or disappointing results.



We cannot afford to waste time, energy or resources on solutions that fail in execution or cannot scale. We need to “fail fast” with some ideas to accelerate others, and set up development programs for success in the execution phases by helping them make good decisions in the early phases.


Not every idea can succeed or should succeed.  But we don't want great ideas to fail in execution for reasons that could have been avoided.


Many innovation and product development programs encounter unexpected problems, cost overruns, and delays when things don’t work out as expected. They disappoint investors, customers and community stakeholders.


When innovation teams eliminate the root causes of these obstacles at their source, they deliver the right product to market faster.


They get from idea to launch faster, they scale faster and they start making a difference faster.


They change the world faster.


And that's what we need to do to Accelerate Net Zero.
