The Breakthrough Board Adviser

You’re Serious About Innovation. Now Back It with the Right System—and the Right Support.

A 9-month strategic partnership for CEOs who want to turn bold innovation ambition into breakthrough performance.

What’s Holding You Back Isn’t Vision—It’s the System

You’ve made innovation a board-level priority.

You’ve got investment, intent, and talent.

But your organisation is still:

  • Working on ideas in silos
  • Over-relying on culture as the fix
  • Falling short on measurable progress

Here’s the hard truth: You’re not getting the results because you’re not acting on the system.

That’s where I come in.

The BTI Board Advisor Offer

A 9-month strategic engagement led by Rob Munro, designed to:

  • Build executive alignment on your innovation ambition
  • Diagnose and strengthen your innovation operating system
  • Shape and sequence the strategy that turns ideas into outcomes

You’ll have a trusted advisor focused entirely on unlocking breakthrough innovation—not just managing incremental change.

What we'll do together

  • Monthly on-site board/executive sessions (deep dives, blockers, alignment)
  • Innovation system diagnostic using the BTI-OS framework
  • Strategic roadmap and execution plan co-developed with your senior team
  • 1 x off-site strategy day to embed direction and galvanise leadership
  • BTI Circle access for internal leaders and champions to stay connected
  • Optional 2-day annual refresher to maintain momentum (additional)

What you’ll get

  • A strategy that drives decision-making and resource allocation
  • A clearer view of the innovation capabilities and system gaps you need to close
  • Stronger traction across initiatives and alignment at the top
  • External provocation with internal sensitivity—delivered with pace and credibility

Why this works

This is not innovation theatre. It’s not coaching-as-usual. And it’s not passive advisory.

It’s a structured, strategic engagement with someone who knows how to:

  • Influence senior stakeholders
  • Embed capability without chaos
  • Drive systemic innovation change that lasts

The BTI-OS is your differentiator. It’s a best-in-class framework for making breakthrough innovation scalable, measurable, and repeatable—designed to align ambition with execution.
