What makes us unique
As an insights agency, we connect companies with their customers in meaningful ways and generate insight that is actionable with Design Thinking.
Design Thinking is a term that is most often defined from a bird’s eye view. It’s been called a framework for innovation and a human-centered approach to solutions. At street level, design thinking is simply about understanding the people at the heart of the matter and creative problem solving.
Designers and engineers have been solving problems in the product industry for years with this approach, and it turns out its value goes well beyond the borders of product development. Today you can look up the term Design Thinking on LinkedIn and you’ll find it’s been adopted in financial services, insurance, education and even human resources; reason being there are a lot of problems out there that need solving and people are at the heart of the matter.
With design thinking, the design process is distilled into an assembly line of stages that takes practitioners on a journey from understanding the challenge all the way to solutions testing. With any industrialized process, however, what goes in the front end can positively or negatively impact the quality of results down the line. Design Thinking in its simplest form is creative problem solving, and the front end is about first defining the problem to be solved. If a problem isn’t fully understood or is poorly defined, down the line solutions risk being insignificant or worst case, irrelevant.
Our focus is to set our clients and partners up for success through mastery of Design Thinking for customer insight.
