About

Douglas Fast
Here’s why you might feel like your firm is an “innovation pretender”… You feel like your firm is in the slow lane. You’re surprised (too often) by what competitors are doing. And you don’t know the next step to fix this.
I’ve helped 30 companies innovate faster, and more often. To look at what the company has, and is, and its component pieces. And how to recombine them to make new products, new services … even a new company. So they can keep hold of their innovation momentum, direction, and control — no matter what’s happening in the world.
I teach companies real innovation. And I can teach you where to focus, so that you can increase your chances of success. With proven recipes that help you identify the opportunities you should pursue today. And guidance, as you convert those lessons into new products and services.
Your company can be the one surprising its competitors. It can be the one praised for its innovation culture and track record.
It can be the one employees are proud of, and others envy.
Let’s talk about how to make that happen. doug [at] darkwatertek.com
