Innovation
Reinventing what you do and how you do it.
We help cilents explore the world of new thinking and new technologies, identify and prioritise your interests, and partner, build, test, and implement the new solutions and ways of working that will help you both incrementally improve and reinvent for the AI era.
Common Innovation Projects
Innovation Strategy
Helping clients define your strategic approach to innovation, including where you want to generate incremental innovations vs where you want to reinvent; how you engage with innovation ecosystems; how you build, test, and adopt.
Ecosystem Engagement
Exploring how you can best engage with innovation ecosystems to identify the people, partners and solutions that could help you reimagine all or part of your business – and we help you make those connections real and sustained.
Core Process Reinvention
Helping clients identify which of your core processes could most benefit from reinvention and then interrogate them to identify and tests ways in which we could deliver the same outcomes better, more quickly and / or at markedly lower cost.
AI Use Case Identification
Helping clients identify where AI can enable you to solve more of your customers’ problems in exponentially better ways; where you could reinvent aspects of your operating model – and then partner, build, test and drive impactful adoption at pace.
Proofs of Concept
Where we identify AI and other innovation use cases, we then help you specify, build, and test proof of concept solutions which enable you to confirm that new approaches will work before you make more sizeable investments.
Adoption
Helping clients manage the hard yards of adoption, including staff engagement, development, and change management. We ensure your AI adoption goals are reflected into substantial transformation and operational programmes.
