Hi, I’m Claire

At Launchpad9 we help businesses and teams transform into proactive innovators without the stress and overwhelm.

We do this by elevating and balancing strategy, innovation, and people.

Launchpad9 helps you unlock where opportunities are being left on the table, performance is being held back or your potential is not being reached. 

We then work with you to create a way forward, one that gives you clarity, direction, and confidence to deliver. 

How to know if you need us

Here are some questions to ask 

  • Is your strategy in need of a recharge for growth? 

  • Is your execution lining up with your strategic goals or are there some roadblocks?  

  • Is a culture of innovation and action or stagnation and busyness driving your business? 

  • Is the end to end process of innovation sufficient to get the best ideas through to an outcome? 

  • Are teams working well together and supporting each other to get results? Are they performing to their highest potential? 

  • Is the Business clear on expectations and measuring and rewarding accordingly? 

How do you rate?

If you were to rate yourself on performance aligning with the above questions, say between 1 and 10, how would you go? Is there room for improvement?

Years of experience have shown us that wherever there is a challenge there is opportunity. It’s just a matter of mastering the vision and the changes need to seize those opportunities. Sometimes a helping hand from experts can progress things faster than we can imagine - this is where Claire and the Launchpad9 team come in.

Claire Quigley, Launchpad9's principal innovation coach, masterfully guides businesses through the ebb and flow of growth and change. Her approach transforms challenges into strategic opportunities, fostering a culture where continuous improvement is the norm. 

Launchpad9 partners with organisations and individuals who are committed to the mission. If you’re all in, so are we.

Why we do what we do

Our mission is to empower businesses, leaders, and teams to navigate the complexities of strategic growth so that they can build environments where creativity flourishes, challenges are overcome, and growth is a constant.

What is innovation?

Innovation isn’t about being first or following trends - it's about creating meaningful change that propels your organisation forward. 

Many organisations claim to prioritise innovation, but those who do it successfully embed it into their culture and strategies, balancing incremental improvements with radical shifts to continually elevate their benchmarks. 

Innovation, beyond the buzzword, requires a strategic approach, embracing risk management, customer-centricity, and continuous learning to thrive in a constantly evolving market.

Igniting transformation, delivering results

The Launchpad9 edge is a unique, holistic approach to innovation. 

We blend strategic insight with actionable plans, focusing on aligning your team's strengths and objectives with innovative practices. Our difference is our commitment to real-world solutions and sustainable change. 

With our toolkit, which includes consulting, education, and custom strategy development, we empower your organisation to thrive on change and growth. 

We're your partners in transformation, ready to push boundaries and redefine what's possible.

Hunter Water

A very open approach with quality, relevant outputs. People respected that we leaned in and genuinely wanted their inputs to this work and can see it in the results so far.  

We were well supported throughout the process with regular check-ins and flexibility around what was needed and when.

Testimonials

Holman Webb Lawyers

Following our recent expansion, we engaged Claire to bring together Partners and create alignment around Client Experience, Idea Generation and Execution in a traditionally risk adverse industry, while navigating the challenges and opportunities around digital transformation. She nailed it.

Gro Events Group

This day with Claire was absolute gold to me. I went from having a cloudy goal to a fully thought-out plan that I felt comfortable articulating and with the steps to work towards that goal. It’s significantly helped me in the launch and now in working with subscribers and potential partners of GRO Rural.

I am so grateful for this time with Claire and will definitely return again after the next few months of building up the business to clarify where-to next!
