We Turn Complexity into Opportunity

At Innovation Ecosystem, we help organizations see the big picture, act strategically, and deliver transformational outcomes.

Our Value Proposition 

We began with a simple belief: the complexity of today’s world is not a barrier—it is a powerful source of opportunity. In an era of rapid change, we help organizations overcome disruptive threats and claim bold opportunities by embracing complexity rather than avoiding it. 

Our approach combines strategic systems thinking, bold creativity, and deep innovation expertise. It’s a combination of cutting edge skills that positions your organization to create powerful solutions that are transformative, sustainable, and strategically impactful.  We help leaders connect the dots across systems, revealing opportunities that others might overlook, so that you and your teams can DO BIGGER THINGS.  

Dan McClure is the innovation thought leader who has pioneered systems innovation practices for over 3 decades. As Innovation Ecosystem’s senior leader and advisor, he provides deep, hands-on experience rooted in innovation challenges from around the world.   His big picture systems innovation perspective has enabled Fortune 100 companies, UN and government agencies, nonprofits, and entrepreneurs worldwide to develop sophisticated impactful responses to hard challenges.  

Because we work across a wide range of sectors, geographies, and organization types, we tailor our innovation teams to unique opportunities.  We call this a “Hollywood Model”.  Just like a film studio hires a unique crew for every movie, we dynamically assemble teams of world-class experts and partners custom-fit to your exact challenge. This approach guarantees speed, specialized knowledge, and a fresh perspective on every project.
