    What We Do

    Our future-ready ventures approach helps ambitious organizations transform their big ideas into bold undertakings, minimizing their risk, and setting them on a strong future trajectory. We start by tackling four common issues:

    • Excessive upfront investment on research
    • No real customer buy-in with a lack of concept validation
    • Inability to identify true unmet customer needs
    • Unable to pivot due to sunk time and resource costs

    Through years of hearing and seeing the same problems and continuously innovating our solutions, we’ve redesigned our method for venture creation based on four principles:

    • 15 Day Sprints
      We've moved away from costly and time consuming 'strategy' proposals, focusing instead on partnering with you on a rapid 15 day sprints.
    • Focus On The Things That Matter
      Rather than creating spreadsheets or lengthy presentations, we will spend time extracting true jobs-to-be-done and how your new venture can bring value to you and your customers.
    • Design The Future
      We bring the venture to life through co-creating tangible prototypes with customers, supported by a business case and investor showcase.
    • Customer Ready
      We ensure your new venture is customer-ready, through rapid launching to real customers and de-risking venture build.

    What We Think

    Innovation and disruption often go hand in hand, presenting a delicate balance between risk and opportunity. Leaders must therefore understand how to organize and steer their business when disruption hits. When partnering with our clients to set up new ventures, we ask four essential questions:

    How do you guarantee the performance of new ventures, so they deliver on commitments to customers and drive revenue? When it comes to productivity, how do you optimize for efficiency, effectiveness, and compliance?  How will you approach incubation, as your venture grows and matures? And finally, thinking holistically about transformation, how you can scale new ventures successfully across your business?
