- Senior Marketing Manager at Manulife

"We went globally searching for thinkers, tools and approaches in innovation that are different and go beyond what everyone else is doing. Design thinking, experimentation and agile are all democratised tools of innovation that took us so far - but didn’t competitively differentiate us. Then we stumbled across Lital and platform thinking. This solves so many gaps in mainstream innovation approaches - thinking too small, demystifying platform business models, speed to market and scaling challenges. In my view she’s a global best in class in this space and her work will truly move the dial on corporate innovation where most efforts fail ;)"
