Tired of Ideas Dying in Meetings? I Can Help.
Have you noticed this happening to your projects?

- You spend too much time and money without clear proof that your idea will work.
- You need hands-on guidance, not just a consultant's report.
I aim to deliver a clear path forward. Together, we get real proof that your idea is valuable, so you can make your next move with total confidence. No more guessing—just clear, simple data.
“My promise is simple: We only build what we can test. I coach to learn what works so you never waste time on a bad idea.”

How I Coach: Focus, Speed, and Skill-Building
My goal is not to do the work for you, but to work with you and give you the skills and structure you need to succeed on your own. My coaching focuses on three simple pillars:
| Focus Area | Headline | Supporting Detail |
| 1. Get in Control | Learn to Own the Whole Process. | I teach teams how to manage the journey from first spark to final launch. By building a Collective Edge, your team gets 100% of the credit and learns a repeatable system for the future. |
| 2. Work Smart, Not Hard | Use Smart Tools to Go Faster. | I show you exactly how to use the latest tools to cut down development time. This isn’t just about tech; it’s about mastering the Human Skills needed to make smart choices based on real facts. |
| 3. Focus on Real Success | Clear Results, Every Time. | Every step is tied to a clear goal. We focus on getting proof that people want your idea, allowing you to build a validated Innovation Strategy and invest your resources with total confidence. |
Innovation Sprints: The 3-Step Coaching Journey
Spark & Plan
Define the Right Problem
I help you challenge assumptions, talk to customers, and turn vague ideas into clear, testable goals. This stage is about operationalizing Strategic Curiosity to ensure we are solving a problem that actually matters to your market.
Build & Test
Insight. Accelerated.
We quickly build a simple version of your idea—a Validated Prototype—and test it with real people. Using our AI-accelerated methodology, we deliver a clear answer: Is this idea ready to grow, or do we need to change direction?
Grow & Master
Ensure Long-Term Confidence.
The final step is making your organization independent. Through specialized Lean Coaching, I transfer the key innovation methods and leadership skills needed to sustain a high-performance culture long after the sprint ends.
Spark & Plan
- Getting Everyone on the Same Page: Clear meetings to make sure all the important people agree on the main goal and your Innovation Strategy.
- Understanding People (Your Customers): Learning how to ask the right questions and using Strategic Curiosity to truly understand what people need and feel.
- Making Clear Guesses: Turning your idea into simple statements we can test, and figuring out which ones to check first.
- Knowing How to Win: Setting up simple ways to measure if your test works before we even start.
Build & Test
- Building Fast & Simple Prototypes: Showing you how to quickly build a Validated Prototype (like a dummy website or picture) in just a few days.
- Testing with Real People: Running structured tests (like interviews or surveys) to get honest feedback and clear numbers.
- Understanding Results: Using smart tools (e.g., Synthetic User Persona, DIY Consumer Testing) to quickly read all the feedback and data, giving you clear insights instantly.
- Making the Right Choice: Giving you a clear, fact-based answer: Should we keep going, change direction, or stop this idea?
Grow & Master
- Training on Key Methods: Hands-on sessions teaching you powerful ways to work (like the Lean Startup method) and how to use AI tools in your work.
- Coaching on People Skills: Focused training on the Human Skills needed to lead meetings smoothly, really listen to people, and handle doubts.
- Long-Term Success Plan: Creating a simple, step-by-step plan for how to officially launch your idea and make sure the team knows exactly how to manage it going forward.

Stop wasting time and resources on unproven concepts. Whether you are building The Collective Edge within your teams or developing a long-term Innovation Strategy, you need more than advice—you need a roadmap.
Through precision Lean coaching and AI-accelerated sprints, I help you move from “What If” to a precise, validated plan for growth.

Frequently Asked Questions: Innovation & Coaching
Question 1: What exactly is an Innovation Sprint?
Answer: An Innovation Sprint is a time-boxed, 3-step coaching journey designed to move an idea from a vague concept to a validated prototype. Instead of spending months in meetings, we spend days testing your biggest assumptions with real customers to get a clear “Pivot or Persevere” decision.
Question 2: How does LeanSparker use AI in the coaching process?
Answer: We use AI-accelerated tools to handle the heavy lifting of data analysis and market research. This allows us to create Synthetic User Personas and run DIY Consumer Testing instantly, freeing up your team to focus on the Human Skills—like empathy and strategic leadership—that actually drive success.
Question 3: Is this coaching only for startups, or can established Swiss SMEs benefit?
Answer: My methodology is specifically designed for both. While startups need speed, established companies often need a better Innovation Strategy to overcome internal resistance and “meeting fatigue.” I help teams in any organization build a Collective Edge and act with the agility of a startup.
Question 4: What is the difference between a consultant and an Innovation Coach?
Answer: A consultant often gives you a report and leaves. As an Innovation Coach, I work with you. My goal is to transfer skills so that by the end of our Lean coaching, your team is independent and has the confidence to lead future projects without external help.
