About Board of Innovation (BOI)

For 16 years, Board of Innovation has helped Fortune 500 companies launch new products, services, and business models. Today, they build AI growth engines that wire innovation, marketing, and sales into one compounding system.

The Bottleneck

Most companies treat AI as a tool. That's why most AI initiatives fail.

They run pilots. They automate workflows. They measure efficiency gains. And they never reach production value.

BOI treats AI as a fundamental business transformation. You cannot operate at the speed of AI with a 20th-century org model. They redesign both at the same time.

The shift isn't from manual to automated. It's from siloed functions to an integrated growth engine where innovation feeds marketing, marketing fuels sales, and sales loops intelligence back into innovation.

The Solution: Autonomous Growth OS

BOI's Autonomous Growth OS wires innovation, marketing, and sales into one AI-first system that compounds over time.

AI Innovation Moving from slow, siloed processes to autonomous systems that generate ideas, sense trends, simulate demand, and validate in minutes instead of months.

AI Marketing Shifting from one-way campaigns to adaptive systems that orchestrate content, context, and discovery for both humans and AI agents.

AI Sales Replacing static funnels with dynamic ecosystems where packaging, pricing, and negotiation evolve in real time.

Together, these form one integrated growth engine. Insights don't get stuck in quarterly decks. They become live inputs into what the business innovates, markets, and sells.

Why BOI Is Different

Proven innovators for 16+ years: BOI has built 100+ new products, services, and business models driving market leadership. They see AI as a lever for innovation and growth, not just efficiency.

Autonomous Growth OS: A reusable, AI-first system that wires innovation, marketing, and sales into one growth engine. This is not a framework. It's a working system deployed with Fortune 500 companies.

100% Vendor-Agnostic: Unlike consultancies tied to specific tech stacks, BOI has no platform to sell. Their only agenda is your business outcome.

AI + Org in One Motion: Most firms treat AI implementation and org design as separate workstreams. BOI knows you cannot operate at the speed of AI with legacy structures. They redesign both simultaneously.

Leaders Who've Done the Work: The team is built of senior leaders who have done this work in-house at companies like Cigna, Northwestern Mutual, and Deloitte. They've built the systems, led the teams, and been accountable for the results.

AUTONOMOUS Summit: BOI runs the world's largest summit for AI innovators, drawing 10,000+ participants twice per year. Philippe De Ridder's thinking is featured in Fast Company, Harvard Business Review, Bloomberg, and Forbes.
