Stoake brings together the best talent with not-available-anywhere-else expertise in advising some of the most complex organizations in the world on strategic problem solving and innovation. We help our clients succeed because we understand that their ability to innovate isn’t just about technology. It’s about people and how they combine technology with powerful ideas and insights to produce tangible results.

 

Knowledge and Expertise

Our focus is singular to provide the highest value to our clients: as experienced external thought partners we help public and private sector leaders develop new capabilities and high-performing solutions. We aren’t academics approaching this work as outside observers, or private sector practitioners with little-to-no experience in global institutions. We understand, through direct experience, that leveraging new innovations and technologies within a complex bureaucracy presents unique challenges. We’ve developed proven, contextually-relevant tools and methods to help our clients achieve their goals.

 

Advising for Change and Transformation

At Stoake we start in the future by clearly defining what success looks like and then we work our way back to the present. Without a clear vision for what success looks like it is difficult to know which path to take to get you there. Every organization is unique, and we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach to designing an innovation program or transformation initiative. We work closely with our clients to understand the current capabilities of their organizations in order to determine the most appropriate systems, processes, communication tools and institutional support that will be needed to create an enabling environment for innovation.
