Moving Ideas Forward

Hello, I’m Julia Shalet, Product Doctor. I can help you with your product, proposition, innovation & entrepreneurship challenges.

I am an award-winning innovator, product, innovation & business consultant, qualitative researcher & ideas tester, experienced product leader, university tutor (module leader at UCL) & a course director at the CIM Chartered Institute of Marketing. I have more than 25 years hands on experience across a broad range of sectors & organisation types. My book, The Really Good Idea Test, was published by Pearson in 2021, has won an award & has been translated into German & Chinese. See me in action.


I help people from all walks of life to give good ideas a chance and to focus their time, energy and money where they have the best chance of success. It is my personal anti-waste campaign.

I’ve worked in start-ups, with self-employed, small & medium organisations, corporates and the third sector. I’ve managed high-value product portfolios & brought many successful new propositions to market that have attracted national media coverage. I have won awards for my work, had articles published, and my book, published by Pearson in 2020 won a 2021 Axiom Business Book Award.
