Reinventing innovation
Thought Leadership Team
Oxford Economics
This research looks at innovation across a complex set of challenges, including innovation strategy, operating models, culture, metrics, and more, to understand how innovating companies are seeking to create business value and financial returns on their efforts. The findings are presented under five key themes:
- Strategy, not size, matters in innovation spend
- From blind bets to viable business models
- Silo-busting innovation
- The X-factor? Human experience
- Tech innovation–leader or follower?

John oversees Thought Leadership projects with EMEA-based clients. He works across business sectors and disciplines, but specialises in issues relating to strategy and business operations, such as sustainability, digital transformation, employment and skills, finance, and performance management. He has directed the Thought Leadership contribution on some of Oxford Economics’ largest and most complex research programmes, for global consultancies and corporates, including Accenture, the Adecco Group, Cognizant, EY, Fujitsu and YouTube. Often this is in collaboration with his economist colleagues to blend qualitative and quantitative analysis, and to explore the impact of corporate actions at a business, industry and economy level.
John joined Oxford Economics in 2014, after 25 years as a Financial Controller, financial management consultant and, most recently, a thought leadership expert for IBM’s Institute for Business Value, focused on global public sector issues. John then worked on the independent Digital Government Review as input to the UK General Election. He is an Economics graduate from Sussex University and a Chartered Management Accountant (ACMA).
