Founder-led. System-governed. Built for complex, multi-year reform.
Systemic Innovation designs and delivers complex systems reform through a small senior core and a curated network of specialist expertise - assembled per programme and governed end-to-end.
We operate as a directly governed practice rather than a partner-delegated consultancy. Strategic direction, programme framing, and delivery governance are retained within Systemic Innovation - ensuring consistency of judgement, institutional memory, and accountability over time.
Led by Scott Walker, Systemic Innovation retains direct accountability for strategic direction, delivery quality, and client outcomes across all engagements. This ensures continuity, coherence, and learning across complex, multi-year reform efforts.
How delivery actually works
Every engagement is led with clear strategic ownership and accountability for outcomes - delivery is not delegated.
Lead
Delivery teams are assembled programme-by-programme from a trusted pool of senior specialists, selected for the specific system, institution, and reform challenge at hand.
Assemble
Govern
Strategy, quality, learning, and client accountability are retained end-to-end - ensuring coherence across multi-year, multi-actor reform efforts.
Senior expertise, assembled per programme
We maintain a small senior delivery group and selectively engage additional senior specialists where their expertise materially strengthens the work. This ensures the right depth, perspective, and institutional experience for each reform challenge.

Scaling, Markets & Investment
Reconfiguring how policies, services, platforms, and actors interact - using design to change system behaviour, not optimise components.
Designing the conditions under which ventures, capital, and support infrastructure scale together - beyond firm growth to market formation.
Turning fragmented firm-level and institutional data into system intelligence that enables learning, accountability, and course-correction.
Understanding how rules, incentives, and institutions actually shape market behaviour - and where reform efforts stall in practice.
This model combines the strategic coherence of a founder-led practice with the delivery depth of a senior network - without the fragility of large teams or the diffusion of responsibility common in consortia.
