About Alexander

As the Lead Consultant & Solution Architect of Prometheus Innovent, a boutique Management Consultancy specialized on Managing Change with focus on Product Design & Development of tangible and digital products, i.e. services, I meet customer demands by applying System Thinking and Agile & Lean methodologies. I have a structured approach to innovation and establishes in your Change Management and Product Development effort the customer, user, or patient view as starting point to any consideration to advance your products or services. This paradigm will assure that your teams emphasize with customer needs to build great products that solve meaningful problems in cost effective ways. Prometheus Innovent’s Change Management process builds on a detailed stakeholder analysis taking into account pertinent barriers and legacy causes to identify a solution space for implementing sustainable organizational change to foster your progress in terms of innovation, product development or establishing product development excellence. I thrive to establish factual reasoning while taking the culture of your organization and the psychology of individual stakeholders into account.
I can also assist you defining what are the right innovation activities or projects to prioritize and pursue, and which to pivot or better stop. Depending on the stage of Product Life Cycle you are currently in, I find with your team innovation metrics to establish an analytical model to foster decision making about the problem your team is trying to solve with the new product development. That includes advising on the identification of the Problem-Solution-Fit, developing iteratively the Product-Market-Fit before scaling a solution. My business modelling approach builds on Lean Start-Up principles rather than the traditional business plan. I can help you with both! I am more fond of the Pareto Principle rather than the watering can distribution approach. More information under
