Unlock Innovation is a business for change.
We are a multi-disciplinary, multi-generational team of experts with professional and lived experience with neurodivergence, particularly, dyslexia. We have a strong understanding of neurodiversity, inclusivity, and the connection to innovation potential.
While we have a research-based approach, our commitment is to deliver practical and actionable guidance that engages, inspires, and empowers positive change.
Focused on dyslexia, we help organizations understand its impact in the workplace, raise awareness of its value for innovation, and guide them in fostering a dyslexia-friendly culture.
We conduct tailored research and offer a range of accessible services including training, consulting, coaching, assessments, and ongoing research to support organisations of all sizes in unlocking hidden talent and potential.
