What made me become a speaker was first and foremost a frustration. I saw too many powerful ideas die within organizations, not because they were bad, but because they were misunderstood, poorly defended, poorly carried, or stifled by corporate culture.
Why book Philippe Boulanger rather than another speaker?
I am invited because I do not speak about innovation from the sidelines. I have experienced innovation from the inside: as an entrepreneur, leader, technical director, head of international teams, mentor, author, and speaker.
What is Philippe Boulanger's speaking angle?
My unique angle is to consider innovation as a human system before it is a technological subject.

The audience experiences my interventions as an experience, not as a top-down conference. Participants are not just sitting to listen to ideas about innovation: they are engaged in experiments, questions, surprises, and collective awareness.
Why do organizers like working with Philippe Boulanger?
I try to apply a simple principle, inspired by David Avrin, an American speaker colleague: it must be ridiculously easy to work with me.
What concrete results can the audience expect after a talk by Philippe Boulanger?
After my session, the audience can first expect a strong awareness: the barriers to innovation are not always where we look for them. They are not just in the budget, technology, or processes. They are often in behaviors, beliefs, fears, unspoken issues, biases, and daily interactions.
