In this episode of Breakthrough Innovation, we’re joined by Simon Copsey, transformation consultant, delivery strategist, and creator of Curious Coffee.

Simon brings a rare blend of engineering rigor and people-first systems thinking. With deep roots in the Theory of Constraints, he’s helped early startups and global enterprises navigate transformation — not with generic playbooks, but with adaptive, tested methods rooted in the scientific method.

🔍 Why treating symptoms instead of causes is killing your transformation

⚙️ How to build a mental model of dysfunction using the scientific method

🧠 Why most orgs optimize for efficiency — and end up stuck in traffic

❗ The problem with planning: strategies ≠ deterministic solutions

☕ Why Simon started Curious Coffee and what’s possible in 1 good conversation

This episode will shift how you think about root causes, transformation speed, and what leadership really means when things get messy.
