The Challenge

Contrary to popular belief, slow innovation pace doesn't stem from a scarcity of ideas. More often than not, it arises from an abundance of ideas. Therefore, to innovate faster, organisations should optimise and rationalise their investment efforts by putting systems in place that enable them to identify, develop, and scale the right ideas.

Our Solution

We empower our partners with the right methods and processes to identify, shape and prioritise the right solutions for their complex problems. Leveraging our expertise in strategic, process, and solution design, we integrate design-led thinking into every step of choosing and shaping solutions into viable, desirable and feasible opportunities for the company. As such, we reduce the risk.

Working together with internal and external stakeholders, we employ an iterative process to explore and validate a range of business opportunities. These opportunities then serve as the foundation for refining value-adding strategies and discarding ineffective concepts. As such, we ensure that only concepts with sufficient viability, feasibility, and desirability progress to the next stages of development.

Spotlight

We partnered with a large energy company to mitigate the uncertainty and risk the firm faced in allocating their IT investment budget. Our evaluation process, ranging from 1 to 16 weeks, informed innovation decisions across 9 lines of the business, from asset management to computational science. As a result, over 14 months, 27% of projects were halted due to low viability, while 73% progressed with identified opportunities and roadmaps warranting further investment.

”Great work done by the team! The way it has guided us through the opportunity framing has been very helpful and engaging. Overall, it has created common understanding and a clear list of critical items to focus on.”
