Work with Marc
AI now leads much of my work. Innovation and Design Thinking remain core disciplines: how leaders frame problems, understand systems and turn new capability into useful change.
Senior leaders need a clear model of what AI can do, where it creates risk and how it changes the work of their people.
I design enterprise curricula, executive sessions and applied clinics that replace vague enthusiasm with informed action. Participants learn to assess use cases, question claims and make sound choices about adoption.
Innovation needs more than ideation. Teams must understand the people, incentives and interdependencies that shape the problem before they make the solution.
Design Thinking is my core discipline and the method behind much of my work. I am certified in Mastering Design Thinking by MIT Sloan. I help teams study the people affected, frame the real problem, map the surrounding system, generate options and test ideas with evidence.
Foresight becomes useful when it changes a present decision. The work starts with signals and ends with a choice.
My Three Lenses of Foresight framework helps leaders hold long-range scanning, present-territory sense-making and near-term action in one model: Telescope, Map and Compass.
A capstone should produce evidence that a team can apply what it learned to a live organisational problem.
I work with sponsors to define the challenge, decision rights and success measures. Teams investigate users, prove the problem, test solutions and defend their progress in front of executive stakeholders.
International site visits create value when every observation is connected to the organisation's own mandate.
I design and lead immersive programmes across China and Europe. Company visits, expert access and cultural briefing are paired with daily reflection that turns observation into practical implications.
Client recommendations
A small selection from the people who have commissioned the work, joined the room and seen what participants do with it.
He is by far one of the most brilliant Design Thinking trainers we've dealt with. He is not your average trainer. His unconventional way of teaching makes the training super exciting and engaging.
I worked with Marc Mekki on a middle management capstone project. His expertise in fostering creativity, inspiring teams, and driving transformative outcomes is truly remarkable. I highly recommend Marc for any organisation seeking to cultivate a culture of innovation and achieve remarkable results.
How the work holds together
These methods give teams a shared language, enough structure to make progress and room to think for themselves.
Telescope for what is coming. Map for the environment as it stands. Compass for the decisions that move the organisation forward.
Incremental challenge, learning by doing and immediate application. Participants leave having practised the work, not merely heard about it.
Practical mapping and physical exercises make interdependencies, competing incentives and cascading effects visible before teams choose where to act.
