Denis started off as a philosopher interested in the History of Ideas before becoming a systems engineer with Mott MacDonald. Since 2003, he has been an innovator helping people create new business models as well as creating his own startups Denis focuses on business model innovation.
When done right, this can take a sleepy industry and create a company that is 1,000 times more valuable than the whole industry. Whilst this involves some luck and skill the key criterion is something simple that every entrepreneur and business leader has access to – seeing the world differently.
It sounds easy. It isn’t, but there are ways to make it easier. He is Head of Innovation at Denis Oakley & Co, his own consultancy, proudly a ‘company of one’ and works with governments, corporations (of all sizes), and entrepreneurs to see the future differently and create new business models that create more value than ever before. One of Denis’s clients said that ‘Denis doesn’t just think outside the box, he’s never even in the box at all!’
