Growth ambitions are easy. Proving them is hard.

We help companies of all sizes find, test and prove their next sources of growth using small experiments rather than big plans so you know what works before you scale it.

Our Service Offerings

Most engagements combine two or three.

Lean Product Innovation & Growth Hacking

Revive under-performing products and validate new ones, without traditional R&D risk.

Change as a Product

New ways of working, built on Lean Change Management. Short, testable experiments instead of a big plan up front.

Innovation Capability Building

Playbooks, training, and hands-on coaching that leave your teams able to run the methods themselves.

Design Thinking & Service Design

End-to-end journey mapping across stakeholder groups, and alignment on what to fix first.

AI Adoption Diagnostics

Name exactly where an AI rollout is stalling, and what to do about it.

Probabilistic Financial Forecasting

See the real range of outcomes for an uncertain venture.

How we work

We work alongside your people. Your team sees the methods in practice before trying them, then takes over the room while we coach from the side until they can run it without us. Most consultancies leave a slide deck for someone else to implement. We leave a team that keeps delivering value and making an impact without us.

01

Demonstrate

We run the first sessions ourselves, facilitation, customer interviews, experiment design, so your team sees the method before doing it themselves.

02

Observe

Your team takes the lead while we watch, catching what a facilitator catches: where trust breaks down, where a role boundary is being crossed.

03

Coach

Direct feedback in real time, so the practice becomes self-sustaining and doesn't depend on us being in the room forever.

SERVICE SPOTLIGHT

The AI Rollout Diagnostic

95%
of enterprise AI pilots deliver zero measurable P&L impact. MIT NANDA research
42%
of companies have abandoned at least one AI initiative, at an average sunk cost of $7.2M. Deloitte

In our experience, this isn't a tooling problem, it's a human one. AI stalls exactly where it crosses a role boundary: asking someone to trust a machine's judgment over a trusted expert's, or asking someone to own work that shifted onto their desk. In our Multiplying Expert Impact with AI case study, we resolved that resistance among expert evaluators, unlocking 90% of the North American division's growth from new business.

What you get

01

Adoption Friction Map

Exactly where trust or ownership is breaking down, and with whom.

02

Workflow Gap Analysis

Where the tool and the actual workflow no longer match.

03

Three Change Experiments

Execution-ready, short, and testable within days, not quarters.

04

Rescue, Redesign, or Retire

A clear verdict on the initiative, not a hedge.

Common Objections

"Consultants aren't accountable."

This may apply to other time-for-money consultants, but not us. Our compensation aligns to the achievement of your business objectives, contractually.

"We have a department that does that."

If that department has enabled your success in the past, great, you probably don't need us. If your ability to improve has been blocked internally, it's time for an external partner who puts results first.

"We need results, not advice."

That's exactly what we deliver. We may start at a strategic, advisory level, but we never leave a client to implement that advice alone unless they want us to.

"We don't want to depend on external help."

Good, because that's how we prefer to work. We would rather teach your teams the methods and hand the practice over than build a dependency. Our longest engagement ended with the client running everything themselves and calling us in only when they wanted a second set of eyes.

"Can't AI do this now?"

Increasingly, yes, for the analysis. AI can produce the assessment, the framework, and the deck faster and cheaper than any consultant. What it can't do is get a room of people to find the bets worth making, test and prove them in the real world, and change how they work based on what comes back. That part has always been the work. The rest getting easier doesn't threaten that, it just lets us spend our time on the work that delivers the most value.

"We're already piloting AI, we don't need this."

That's exactly who the Diagnostic is for. MIT NANDA research shows 95% of enterprise AI pilots deliver zero measurable P&L impact. A pilot running isn't the same as one working.
