Meet Kevin Popović
Kevin Popović is a strategist, educator, and innovation architect who helps people create new ideas that solve business problems. Known as The Idea Guy®, Kevin works at the intersection of Human Insights and Artificial Intelligence, designing frameworks that amplify clarity, creativity, and execution inside organizations.
He is the author of AMPLIFIED! (CRC Press, 2026), a two-part book that introduces the HI × AI framework for identifying the right problem and creating the right solution. The model positions Human Insights as the foundation and Artificial Intelligence as the multiplier, enabling leaders to think more clearly, innovate more effectively, and implement with confidence.
Kevin’s work spans higher education, healthcare, financial services, nonprofits, and venture-backed startups. He founded Ideahaus, an award-winning creative communications agency, and later served as Director of the ZIP Idea Lab at San Diego State University, where he led campus-wide innovation initiatives and developed the Innovation Funnel. He has since worked with universities, executive teams, and founders to design repeatable innovation systems that strengthen both thinking and performance.
Currently a doctoral candidate in Organizational Innovation, Kevin’s research examines how HI × AI can improve problem identification and innovation adoption inside complex organizations.
His work bridges theory and practice, translating peer-reviewed research into actionable tools used in workshops, bootcamps, and enterprise programs.
Kevin has delivered keynotes, taught executive education, written for the San Diego Business Journal, and developed experiential learning models that connect clarity, creativity, and measurable outcomes. Whether advising C-suite leaders or mentoring emerging innovators, his focus remains consistent: help organizations identify the right problem, design the right solution, and build the internal capability to repeat the process.
Kevin’s mission is simple: elevate human thinking in an AI-accelerated world — ensuring technology amplifies insight rather than replaces it.
