Farzad S. Fazeliani

Consultant in Los Angeles, CA

You work hard; you have a vision; and you care about your people. Yet, through your efforts, you are fighting against some stark odds: 2 out of every 3 businesses fail in their first decade, and of the survivors, only 33% pivot fast enough to stay on top of the market changes that follow - i.e. your chances of thriving amongst your peers are 1/10. Don't let chance determine your success.

My name is Farzad, and what consulting companies such as McKinsey and IDEO do for large firms, I do for creatives, non-profits, and mid-sized companies. I help clients clarify what’s important so that they can focus on creating the future they want, instead of merely reacting to change.

In the past, I’ve helped Memory Tree Productions Inc. develop a growth plan and double their revenues; RBC Bank simulate 10-years ahead and future-proof their retail investments; and Veteran’s Affairs develop a human-centered digital product to help veterans not get mired in bureaucratic goo; with over 100,000 visits 1-year into product release.

I’m a published innovation thought leader whose work has been recognized at the MISC Foresight Journal; the FWD50, UXR, and Toronto Design Offsite Conferences; and by the WSIB, 3M Research, and NASAGA 2020.

If you are fed up with spinning your wheels just to stay afloat, and want to go beyond just surviving financially, I invite you to reach out for a 30-minute introduction.
To paraphrase one of the Great One: we miss 100% of the shots we don't take.

Expertise:
Innovation Research Methods (Quantitative & Qualitative), Design Thinking, Product Strategy, Service & Organizational Design, Business Models, Facilitation, and Foresight.
