The Innovation Heartbeat

Customer feedback isn’t a checkbox on a KPI worksheet, it’s your unfair advantage. Tap the play button to hear my chat with entrepreneur and business advisor, Nick Berry.

Customer feedback is your lifeblood. But without a heartbeat, it clots. When insight doesn’t circulate, it dies in dashboards.

The Innovation Heartbeat is a system to keep your organization moving—drawing in feedback, processing it into meaning, and delivering it across every function that needs it.

There’s a certain rhythm that powers successful organizations… healthy pulse, healthy purpose.

The Innovation Heartbeat creates that.

Listen. Learn. Grow.

Two great podcasts that complement each other like coffee and cream. Subscribe to both and double up on the inspiration.

The Innovation Heartbeat

Abstract digital artwork in 16:9 format depicting the “innovation heartbeat” concept. The design uses flowing, wave-like lines and soft gradients to suggest a rhythmic pulse. Warm and cool tones blend together, with organic shapes representing circulation, symbolizing the flow of ideas and information through a system, inspired by the metaphor of a heart pumping lifeblood. No text or sharp objects are present; the overall effect is ambient and conceptual.

From Feedback to Force Multiplier

The Innovation Heartbeat doesn’t just organize feedback : it transforms how your company listens, learns, and leads. When implemented, it creates rhythm across teams, reduces friction between functions, and fuels a culture of responsiveness. This isn’t just a framework. It’s a force multiplier for product, marketing, operations, and leadership… all aligned around what your customers actually need.

What Changes When You Get This Right?

  • Product stops guessing and starts building value for customers
  • Marketing speaks in the language of real customers
  • Leadership decisions are grounded in truth, not hunches
  • Support and success teams become growth engines, not just cost centres

The Innovation Heartbeat unlocks all of this by ensuring that feedback doesn’t get lost—it gets leveraged.

About Six Catalysts

Why did I start Six Catalysts instead of cozying up in a corner office somewhere?

I believe that a future with more entrepreneurs is a future where local communities and the people in them are more prosperous, vibrant, and resilient.

I’m wired to support people who are building things—by seeking clarity, sharing knowledge, and solving problems.

I help build organizations, as a fractional leader.

I help builders upskill and grow, as an educator and mentor.

I help founders and teams navigate bumpy roads, as a consultant and advisor.

Let’s build something great together.
