Accelerating
digital transformation

Technology can streamline core processes, automate operations, augment capability, and invent new possibilities. But harnessing that potential is elusive. We help you reinvent how work gets done, applying technology—especially AI— to build competitive advantage and enhance your organization’s performance.

  • We help you identify high-impact opportunities where technology can transform your business, visualize the future you want to deliver, and articulate the choices and tradeoffs required to fulfill those ambitions. All with a high degree of clarity and engagement that helps build understanding and buy-in across your organization.

  • We help you bridge the gap between what’s on paper and what your people actually do, translating strategy into measurable outcomes, observable behaviors, and key initiatives. 

    To help you get traction and find the path to success at scale, we also work with you to design programs that get teams moving together, test key assumptions, demonstrate potential, and build confidence.

    Together, this helps you stop swirl and get your shift together.

  • We help you craft powerful communications and experiences that signal change, foster understanding, and build conviction for the necessary shifts in how your people must think, organize and behave

  • We help you enhance cross-functional collaboration and increase the metabolic rate of your organization to deliver impact with greater velocity

  • We help you enable continuous innovation by curating a strategic portfolio of opportunities and making rapid experimentation a rigorous, repeatable process

  • We help you build and scale world-class capabilities in design and product management that enhance collaboration, reduce toil, and yield stronger, happier teams

Our working model

We collaborate with businesses of all sizes, with a particular focus on established companies either confronting a new challenge or seeking renewal and growth.

Our services encompass both ideation and execution, with an emphasis on co-creation. Clients benefit from a new perspective on what’s possible and comprehensive strategic recommendations, complemented by support that accelerates progress against their most pressing challenges.

We offer a flexible approach, with several modes of engagement:

Coaching

Get access to independent, external perspective on your toughest challenges and the journey required to take your enterprise to the next horizon of growth or performance. We provide a thought partner with diverse experience and deep expertise.

Consulting

We can help you shape and accelerate strategic initiatives with hands-on support from a seasoned, senior resource responsible for defined project scopes and end-to-end deliverables. We can integrate our delivery and tailor our contributions to your organizational cadence and rituals where required.

Fractional Leadership

Whether you have gaps in your team, need help turning around an acquisition, or need short-term expertise in a specific discipline, we can embed seamlessly on a fractional basis to drive critical initiatives, fill leadership gaps, and guide organizational changes. We provide temporary staffing when and where you need it, so you can find the right long-term fit for your organization.

We tailor each engagement to your unique needs.

Our work is personal and human-centered; no two engagements are the same because no two businesses are identical. We make an effort to understand your circumstances and context to give you bespoke support, applying our diverse experience to your unique needs and objectives.

We bring only the required expertise.

We assemble a fit-for-purpose team with the requisite functional expertise drawn from a network of former colleagues, clients, and collaborators. Many of them are from companies widely acknowledged as leading innovators in the digital age. Since we are unencumbered by costly overhead expenses, your investment goes further when you partner with us.

We meet you where you are. But push you to be more.

Our goal is always to creatively articulate a bold future, but know what it takes to get there—not just when designing for emerging technologies, but also when building on top of existing realities in terms of people, processes, and legacy systems.

We think big, but start small—based on today. Giving our clients targeted advice and identifying quick, effective actions that will accelerate progress and amplify momentum towards a more desirable tomorrow.

We prototype as if we are right. Then listen as if we are wrong.

While we bring decades of experience incubating new ventures and catalyzing transformation for some of the world’s most respected businesses, we know that the path to success is never easy and never the same twice.

Regardless of the nature of your specific challenge or aspiration, we always approach the work we’ll do together with the ethos of ‘test and learn.’ In areas that feel particularly risky, we’ll work with you and your teams to craft experiments and generate data that will provide guidance and build confidence regarding how to shift from the status quo to something distinctly new.

We build autonomy rather than dependency.

We have a successful track record of working across all levels in an organization — from the C-suite to the frontline — fostering ownership and alignment for new ideas and approaches. While also helping you to build the culture, capabilities, and operating model to take them forward and achieve lasting impact.
