Sprints
Burdened with failing tools and manual processes? Want to give customers better products faster? Need to solve a complex problem urgently?
Our 2 week Lean Foundation Sprints help you remove waste and simplify complexity to create a viable foundation for innovation and release funds to invest.
Our 4 day Design Sprints help you solve complex problems and test solutions with real users in just 4 days.
Our 2 week Innovation Sprints then go deeper to refine prototypes and launch minimum viable products (MVPs).
Our facilitated Sprints will have your team focused on solving the right problem through co-design with customers and end users. Set your projects up for success to simplify complexity, design better products and launch MVPs faster.
Rapid Prototyping
Struggling to be customer-centric? Never tested your product with real users before the development project?
Get customer feedback early and make changes to prototypes easily before writing a line of code. We build clickable prototypes in hours and functional systems with no-code in days.
Agile Success Cycles
Are your projects stuck or failing to deliver what people need? Do you struggle to prioritise and manage resources?
Having a clear Strategy on One Page and proven prototypes from Innovation Sprints enables us to then facilitate Success Cycles that achieve key milestones every 90 days. Within each cycle, a series of Agile sprints release value every 2 weeks. Look forward to seeing results on a regular basis.
Smart Decisions
Finding it hard to make decisions? Wondering which folder contains the source of truth?
We can set up digital systems with dashboards to surface insights needed to inform smart decisions. Organise your content and share data you can trust, securely. Always see the latest data and collaborate live to maximise teamwork and productivity.
Capture data in the field, wherever you are. Integrate IoT devices to continuously stream system and environment measurements. Create a digital pulse in your boardroom generated at the heart of your business. Gather ideas and suggestions from end users to resolve issues and create opportunities.
Digital inclusion realises the vision of diversity driving innovation. Become smarter, faster, together.
