How I Coach Innovation
The Simple Way I Coach: Focus, Speed, and Smart Tools
My coaching philosophy is simple: we start with understanding the people you want to serve (your customers) and then build things quickly and well.
Deep Customer Insight: Figure out exactly what people want to create a clear, high-impact strategy.
Take Control of the Process: I show you how to use simple, flexible ways of working (like mini-projects) so you can manage the entire process, keep things moving quickly, and stay focused on what will truly work for your project.
Use Smart Tools for Speed: I specialize in using modern technology, especially the power of AI and DIY, as practical tools—not just hype—to help you build your idea quickly and make sure it’s something people actually want and need.
Innovation is all about using smart ways to work and learning quickly what helps your idea succeed.
I truly love helping people connect innovation, creativity, and smart tools. If you have an idea in your head, I’d be happy to chat about how to take the very first step forward. Let’s talk!

Frequently Asked Questions: Why Partner with Amandine Devergies and LeanSparker?
Choosing an Innovation Coach is about finding the right balance between strategic depth and rapid execution. These questions explore how my background and the LeanSparker methodology turn your complexity into a validated path forward.
Question 1: What exactly does an Innovation Coach do that a consultant doesn’t?
Answer: A consultant often gives you a static report; an Innovation Coach provides the Frameworks and active partnership to move your project forward. I act as a neutral facilitator to help your team overcome analysis paralysis, dismantle internal silos, and start validating ideas in the real world.
Question 2: Why do you prioritize “Human Skills” in an AI-driven economy?
Answer: Because in 2026, AI has made technical execution a commodity. The true premium asset is now Human Judgment. I help leaders master the un-automatable skills—like empathy, ethical decision-making, and complex problem-solving—that ensure technology serves the business goals, not the other way around.
Question 3: How does your experience at Nestlé and Starbucks benefit smaller, agile teams?
Answer: I’ve seen how global giants navigate high-stakes product launches and market shifts. I take those rigorous, pro-level methodologies and strip away the corporate bureaucracy. This gives you Lean, Scalable Tools that allow you to compete with the big players without needing their massive budgets.
Question 4: What is an “AI-Accelerated Strategy” in practice?
Answer: It means using AI as a “Co-Pilot” to compress months of market research, consumer insight analysis, and prototyping into days. We use technology to handle the heavy lifting of data, freeing you and your team to focus on high-level Innovation Strategy and creative breakthroughs.
Question 5: How do I know if my project is ready for a LeanSparker Sprint?
Answer: If you have a “Good Idea” but are stuck in the “Messy Middle”—unsure of how to de-risk your investment or gain internal alignment—you are ready. Whether it’s a corporate pilot or a new venture, my goal is to provide a Validated Plan that turns your uncertainty into measurable momentum.
