About Us

Our Story

Strategic Innovation is based in Cambridge, UK with a team of 5 core consultants and a range of external topic experts.

With a technical focus and a passion for sustainability, our expertise covers multiple sectors, with a particular emphasis on the food, beverage and FMCG industries. We believe these sectors offer the biggest potential to address the world’s most pressing problems of environmental degradation and poor nutrition, whilst delivering economic success. And for this we need innovation at every system’s level.

Our mantra is that a great solution to the wrong problem is no solution. Spending time truly understanding the real problem using structured techniques leads us to the innovations most likely to succeed. Our “head in the clouds and feet on the ground” approach brings creativity, flair and a different perspective, but grounded in rigour, science and data.
