Boutique Innovation
About Boutique Innovation
We help teams to create new products, services, propositions, processes and even new organisational designs.
We do this by way of ‘hands on’ workshops and immersive, exploratory tools.
Using a combination of innovation acceleration and user-centred design methods, along with in-depth industry experience and insight, we enable them to think and work differently. We help teams reach higher, achieve more, become leaner and more agile.

An accomplished practitioner of user-centred design in industry, she has delivered across all stages of the innovation cycle from process engineering and manufacturing to leading large industry / university collaborations on new technologies.
Elaine successfully established and ran the first innovation accelerator at Procter & Gamble Luxury division and again at Coty, driving innovation at pace for some of the world’s biggest brands.
Outside of work, Elaine is a fitness nut and a gardener.
“Elaine is a highly talented and passionate innovator…I would have no hesitation in recommending her, and we are now working with her across multiple product and service innovation programmes.”
