Adrian Ott has been in your shoes. She built numerous successful businesses at Hewlett Packard
over her 15 year career there. One initiative was leading the HP Garage Program Business Unit which
she built from a start-up to $250 Million in revenue, and aligned 17 HP Divisions to deliver offerings
to the market. Aligning so many divisions around an initiative had never been achieved in the history
of the company! She was honored as a top contributor in the HP 2000 Annual Report for “infusing
HP with new revenue streams and new technology and new business models” during the 90’s.
Today she helps a select set of corporate innovators to achieve success in getting their ideas and
initiatives off the ground inside their companies. As a corporate entrepreneur you are in a unique
situation: You must deal with corporate politics, resistance to change, and must compete for internal
resources and management attention. Sometimes you may feel like you are “playing chicken” with
your career to get things done. At other times, you need to be a master ambassador and sales person to move corporate
inertia in your favor.
Adrian Ott has dealt successfully with these challenges and has proven techniques based on real-world experience that will
move your initiative in the right direction and create maximum benefit for your corporation.
Four options are available:
1) Corporate Innovator Audio-Conference Series
2) Private Coaching (Limited space available)
3) Corporate Innovation Speaker Services
4) Custom Training for Corporations
