70% of Innovation Fails. Here’s Why.

Most ideas don’t fail on merit. They fail because their innovation system can't deliver breakthrough results.

According to Harvard Business Review and other studies, 70–90% of innovation efforts fail.* And not for lack of creativity, ambition, or effort.

The real reason? Most companies are unknowingly operating inside fragile, misaligned innovation systems that stall execution, dilute strategy, and prevent ideas from reaching their full potential.

These companies are suffering from Innovation Gridlock™ - the silent friction, misalignment, and decision breakdowns that slowly drain momentum from even your boldest ideas.

You’ve probably felt it:

  • Promising initiatives that stall before launch
  • Strategic goals that get lost in execution
  • Teams that are busy, but not moving the needle

Until you fix the system, results stay inconsistent—and innovation always feels harder than it should.

From insight to Breakthrough

Over the past 23 years, I’ve worked with many amazing tech startups and Fortune 500 companies across various industries. 

I’ve helped turn bold ideas into amazing products and scale them into market-defining success.

But it wasn’t all high-fives and big wins. 

At some companies, innovation moved fast.

Teams made smart bets, executed with clarity, and success felt inevitable.

At others, momentum stalled.

Roadmaps shifted. The same great ideas quietly faded before they ever had a chance to lead the market.

What struck me wasn’t the quality of the ideas or the talent on the teams—both were often exceptional.

The real difference was the innovation system that each company used. 

How they went from idea to strategy to execution. 

The more I saw it, the clearer the pattern became:

Breakthrough innovation isn’t just about creativity, strategy, or execution. It’s about the system that makes all of those things actually work together, at the highest level.

While each company had a different system, there were common elements and patterns that led to breakthrough success or market failure.

That insight led me to build the Breakthrough Innovation System™. It's a battle-tested approach drawn from the methods used by the world’s top companies, adapted to help your team move faster, scale smarter, and consistently deliver breakthrough results.

My mission is simple
To help ambitious product leaders break out of incremental progress and build innovation systems that deliver breakthrough results—again and again.

WHAT OTHERS say

Jose helped put in place much needed processes for the entire Product & Design organization which helped reduce friction and increased velocity.


Jose helped put in place much needed processes for the entire Product & Design organization which helped reduce friction and increased velocity. He also led initiates for designer to leverage the most up-to-date tools and workflows, created a new design system to unify interaction patterns, visual language, and content. He relentlessly championed the implementation of these across the entire Realtor.com website and native apps. As my UX Manager, Jose has brought tremendous clarity to design and interdisciplinary team challenges. As a mentor and coach, Jose provided deep insights tempered with a keen sense of empathy towards personal challenges I was facing.

Working with Jose has been the most fulfilling experience I've had in my career so far


When looking back to those years under Jose's leadership, I believe it has been the most fulfilling experience I've ever had in my career so far. As a mentor, he encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone to tackle the challenges that brought me to the next level. I wouldn't be a design leader like I am today without Jose's influence throughout the years.

He was able to bring order to the chaos.


He came into a situation where designers were scattered across initiatives, and constantly working in 'reaction mode' to changes from engineering or product managers. He was able to bring order to the chaos by establishing standards of practice and a common process across the team, so stakeholders always knew what to expect when engaging with design. He also worked hard to up-level the practice of design

He executed processes to increase collaboration and enhance the team’s skills to deliver higher quality solutions.


Within just a few months, Jose was able to restructure the design process that helped increase cross-functional teams’ efficiency and improve product focus. His constant advocation for design has influenced product teams to approach challenges in a more design oriented manner. His excellent communication skills to stakeholders as well as his ability to synthesize, simplify and express systematically are just a few of many qualities that have inspired me. Jose provides guidance when needed, and also empowers team members to take ownerships because he believes that we are set up for success. He was instrumental in my career growth, and I believe I wouldn’t be where I am today if it were not for his leadership and support.
