Technology adoption & data governance for innovators
Innate Innovation is a niche advisory specifically for innovators, specialising in matters regarding technology adoption & data governance.
​
We help organisations, service providers, technology providers and individuals with executive leadership, stakeholder engagement, go-to-market, and digital-era strategies that navigate the tensions between innovation (explore), operations (exploit) and social responsibility.
Our strategy and advisory services balance leadership, culture, and technology to knock down the complexity wall.
outmanoeuvre complexity

innovation
innovative organisations feel pressure to address climate change, data protection, cybersecurity and technology sovereignty — exacerbating pressures of increasing costs, reduced financial appetite, supply chain disruption, and global digital competition
​
resource the executive leadership, cultural alignment and digital-era ways to outmanoeuvre these tensions

generative AI
today, like golem tales, generative AI is intelligent enough to understand orders from humans but is not smart enough to understand nuance or human subtleties
​
most golem stories end with the protagonist destroying their golem because it becomes too powerful, and they get hurt
​
create your golem but avoid the journey cost!

sustainable computing
sustainability pressures are growing — most operators expect carbon emissions reporting requirements soon (only 37% report)
​
Systemic decarbonisation is 50 times larger than our endeavour of getting people to the moon — the era of free (virtualisation-driven) efficiency in the cloud / HPC / colocation datacentre is ending — new gains require material action!
​​
be prepared — grow without slowing down!

cybersecurity
cybersecurity functions have grown and evolved due to a tightening of risk tolerance, in turn due to the increasing societal consciousness for data protection - but what happens next?
we face tensions between control and freedoms at a scale not previously encountered

people need heroes and heroes need halos!
