Solution StreetChief Innovations Officer
Jan. 2013 - Jan. 2023Randburg, South AfricaThe place where we are applying our innovation learning, as well as effecting partnerships for new "Blue Sky" ventures and assisting corporate clients in their innovation quest. We've gained significant knowledge of innovation (by default) over the last 10 years by applying the concept of "Solutioning" to large complex IT business systems. A structured methodology to get the 10/10 solution by understanding the real business requirements and incorporating the appropriate partners into the solution, such that 10/10 is achievable. It is our experience that clients understand about 60% of what they want and they need guidance in discovering the "real" issue or problem and this is where our expertise came to the fore...identifying and understanding the real issue, with the client, and then the crafting of the appropriate solution. This experience elucidates 2 maxims we live by in Solution Street as it pertains to "Solutioning" and Innovation Management:
a) We want to find the solution WITH the client as opposed to doing TO a client; and
b) Getting into the "Skin" of the client organisation - we're with the client, but have the independence to add value. Solution Street unlocks the value of innovation.
Enereco Ltd (South Africa)CEO
Jan. 2008Randburg, South AfricaThe development of a break-through technology for bulk electrical energy generation. An innovative technology that answers the bulk renewable question and if you haven't asked the question "What does bulk renewable energy actually look like?" Well a simple answer: SA currently has a 43,000 MW generation capacity. If we are to change that to wind (as an example), it means that we need to put in place approx 180,000 MW of installed capacity (to account for the low capacity factor of wind = 22 - 25%). This means 90,000 wind turbines and with a coastline of 3,000 km this equates to a bank of wind turbines 3 deep every km - interesting? We have reached a stage in the development where we are ready for the construction of a demonstration unit that should culminate in a commercial unit that will allow for bulk energy at a price comparable to coal and gas fired energy - very interesting!!! Yip... bulk, renewable energy solved.
