Colin Nelson

Colin has worked in corporate and community innovation for over 20 years, initially as an entrepreneur within the technology sector, and for the last 15 years as a consultant to the industry.

Most organizations have innovated over their lifetime, but all can: listen better to the external world, gain more creativity from our employees, drive more value from our eco-system, and execute more effectively. This is where Colin helps, working to improve innovation performance.

A thought leader in collaborative innovation, a social scientist at heart, Colin has been at the forefront of enabling organizations and communities to harness the collective intelligence of large or diverse groups to create real impact.

Colin has supported over 100 organizations throughout his career including the likes of Harley-Davidson, IBM, Linklaters, NASA, the NBA, Unilever, and the United Nations.

 Colin has supported teaching programs at the London, Exeter, and Durham Business Schools.
