Agility has extensive client work in Business Design and Innovation

Business transformation and new business design have been part of my whole business career. New Business development from a global perspective and experience where I have been a creator and builder of startups, turnarounds, operational and organization redesigns, repositioning, leading change in many challenging environments, has provided a deep value in knowledge and project expertise.

Agility’s Client Work has been broad and extensive across business and government sectors and global in reach and recognition.

 Agility’s areas of innovation work focuses on drawing out the challenges of today and supporting the changes needed to build a sustainable future, based on establishing a strong core of innovation.

Part of the practice has been a subcontractor of choice or consulting associate to other solution providers, often in back-office roles providing the specialised inputs critical parts on innovation, resource development and change management.

Geographic focus:

This has been mostly in Asia and Europe but with many US Corporations within these regions. Paul Hobcraft has lived and worked for 15 years in Asia and initially consulted and advised under the associate practice of www.hocaconsulting.com. and moved back to Switzerland some years to build and develop different networks and experiences all evolving out of the innovation focus.

The sister organization, HOCA Consulting focuses more specifically on offering insights and solutions to the new Work-to-be-done in organizations as they tackle the Future of Work challenges we are all facing.

Today Paul is based in Ticino, Switzerland and continues to work where the client requires their solutions globally to be designed and executed but increasingly recognizes that staying “put” and working more remotely, is saving valuable time, money and travel but achieving a new engagement model that delivers, often, a more focused impact through technology touchpoints and targetted outcomes.
