Eight years after discovering the Business Model Canvas at Agile Australia in 2014, an event that shifted my whole career towards strategy & innovation consulting, I was asked to be a keynote speaker on the main stage of the AgileAustralia conference in 2022 and share my key learnings on what unlocks innovation in large organisations.

In Q3 2016, Gy Wallace and I started to work together on the strategy for the In-Home Care business at IRT. Gy had just been appointed CEO of IRT’s In-Home Care business and felt the business was missing the required clarity, sense of purpose and focus that a strategy could bring. In some ways, his business was keeping its head in the sand, not ready for the next curve balls thrown out by our VUCA world. Gy was ready to try something new. Together we designed a 9-week Strategy Sprint to address challenges of the future, and be prescriptive on immediate actions.
