About Innovation SWAT
What is Innovation SWAT?
An innovation capability framework and research platform. The iSWAT model breaks innovation work into four roles — Strategist, Wizard, Activator and Technologist — each with concrete hard skills, so that “innovation capability” becomes something you can build and measure rather than something you either have or do not.
Is Innovation SWAT a training company?
No. This site is a research and reference resource. The hands-on training and consulting run through Justin Tsui’s own innovation engines — Artefactx for interdisciplinary corporate innovation and AI leadership, and iSWAT.org for AI Coach powered learning and the Business Building Bootcamp.
Who is behind Innovation SWAT?
Justin Tsui — author of the Innovation SWAT book, with 25 years across design, brand, business and technology, including coaching 45+ technology startups. The frameworks on this site come from that field work rather than from theory.
Find the full answer
Each topic is covered in depth on its own page, including the questions we get asked most. Rather than repeat them here, we point you to the canonical version so there is one place to keep accurate:
- AI Leadership — what AI leadership is (and is not), governance, capability transfer, and the HR/L&D angle.
- Interdisciplinary Corporate Innovation — where innovation capability breaks, and how to diagnose before training.
- AI Upskill for Non-Technical Professionals — the starting sequence and how to tell whether it is working.
- Solo Founders and One-Person Companies — using AI as leverage rather than as a substitute for judgement.
Where the delivery happens
Both are Justin Tsui’s own innovation engines:
- Artefactx — interdisciplinary corporate innovation and AI leadership training, plus business innovation audit and consulting.
- iSWAT.org — AI Coach powered learning and the Business Building Bootcamp.
