The Speaker

Chris Green - Head of Strategy & Innovation

Chris is an experienced corporate leader and consultant with an exceptionally robust strategy background that spans London, Australia and New Zealand. He's held numerous senior leadership roles driving strategy, innovation, marketing and customer experience. In the last 10 years he focused on innovation as a discipline and was trained by Harvard University's Professor Clayton Christensen. He led one of Australia's leading innovation consultancies before returning to New Zealand in 2022 to join Purple Shirt and start helping organisations run innovation projects and build innovation capability.

In his spare time, Chris is usually near water, playing around with foiling technology as he sails, kitesurfs and surfs.

What Is Innovation?

Innovation is about finding new, creative ways of creating and capturing value. Innovation isn’t just about updating or creating a new product or service, it can extend to new ways of operating the business, new channels to market, new business models – the list is endless.

Innovation should be thought of as a business function. It requires a process that defines how work gets done – it’s no different from a sales, recruitment, or project management process. It is a process that can be learned, developed and embedded into the core DNA of the organisation.

The critical question most businesses should be asking themselves when it comes to innovation is not whether they should be innovating but where they should be applying their innovation focus to ensure they’re making progress on their core strategic objectives.

Why Innovation

The pace of change around the world continues to accelerate and the recent global pandemic has reinforced this across so many aspects of business and society. If businesses aren’t adapting to this change, they’re probably becoming increasingly irrelevant. Innovation isn’t a nice to have or an ambiguous strategic goal; it is the difference between growth and extinction.

The only way for New Zealand organisations to stay relevant to compete, and grow is to leverage their “kiwi ingenuity” and embrace best practice, pragmatic innovation methods that help them:

Stay relevant in their market by creating customer-centric products and services.
Leverage organisational resources in the right way, for quick results.
Create organisational agility so they can respond more quickly to market changes
Reduce the risk of investing in unproven ideas, by leveraging robust testing and learn methods ; and
Create a cultural shift that inspires and motivates your team.

How Can I Introduce Innovation To My Organisation

Best practice innovation is a process that can be learned and mastered, like any other business process. But despite being a relatively new discipline, for some, innovation has already earned a reputation of being ‘fluffy’ or theoretical without a clear return on investment.

This is why Purple Shirt's mantra is 'practical innovation'. Our toolkit is packed full of useful resources and simple to replicate processes that have been proven to deliver tangible business results.

Our tailored approach is grounded in practical, implementable steps. Whether you need someone to unlock innovation opportunities on your behalf, or you want to embed lasting organisational capability, Purple Shirt will build a trusted partnership with you throughout the innovation journey, from customer insight to design and delivery.
