“To win the future, innovation must be an everyday business.”

Samar Kohli
Chairman and Co-Founder, Platypus Labs

Too often, we see a persistent problem that stalls organizational growth: while innovation remains a mandate in the boardroom, it rarely translates into a movement on the front line.

Founded
Platypus
Labs

an innovation research, consulting and training company, to help leaders keep up with the pace of innovation.

Every day we meet leaders that are challenged with creating buy-in, frustrated from being stuck in unproductive innovation cycles, and disappointed with the outcomes despite millions invested.

Facing increasing competition, volatility, and change, it’s easy to freeze up. But lacking a deliberate plan to cultivate company-wide innovation predictably leads to stalled growth, squandered competitive advantage, low morale & engagement, and depleted shareholder value.

Josh Linkner has helped us reignite innovation and unlock new business value.
