Background

About Bill Dawson

A leader in Accenture’s innovation agenda, I am passionate about helping companies integrate innovation with their core activities, and changing not only what they do but how they go about their innovation agendas. I have experience in taking concepts from inception to scale and establishing new innovation functions, leveraging techniques like design thinking, lean startup experimentation and agile delivery. I have wider consulting experience in supply chain, strategy and large, multi-region programme execution with a track record of delivering change and cost savings in FTSE 100 organisations. I have worked across all industry groups with over five years in Oil & Gas and over three years in both Utilities and Financial Services. I am currently the Resources Industry Innovation Services Lead, responsible for helping shape clients innovation journeys and effectively employing Accenture’s expansive Innovation Architecture. Before this, I grew a team tasked with proving the value of innovative ideas in 6-12 week stints and de-risking large engagements through challenging and testing the riskiest assumptions. I am also a trained facilitator, regularly running session in the UK Innovation Centre for executive teams looking to untangle their knottiest problems.
