At The Frontier of Pure Technology, Human-Centered Design Begins
At the frontier to a post-digital world, technology has to serve humans with ease and great experience. That’s why we believe that digital projects of the presence need to anticipate human wishes. We train innovation teams and leaders thinking from a customer perspective, based on solid Information System Research.
Work
Service Portfolio
Since we focus mainly (but not only) on banking and finance, we understand the interdependencies of our clients’ system. From historically grown legacy-IT, IT roadmaps (especially in Germany the approach of an associate-wide “Bebauungsplan”) to regulatory boundaries under the European Banking Authority, we combine creative disruptiveness with realistic rationalism. Please contact us to discuss further!
Ideation and Moderation
As initiators of innovation processes, we generate tangible, digital food for thought for service and product teams. We give advise on managing inno labs, and train the creative strengths of product and service teams. We moderate digital leadership workshops. All our workshops and process-advices are focused on a clear and pre-discussed outcome, applying agile principles, current research and the personal consulting and management experience (conducting consulting in more than 20 markets).
Change Agents
Stepping into inno projects in established enterprises or organisations often means wearing the hat of a change agent. We guide managers and employees through the ambiguity of digital transformation without stressing buzzwords, but create individual and company-wide benefits through first-class methods and tools. Together with our clients, we develop organization-wide action steps towards agile collaboration models, new management structures and new work – methods.
Design Thinking & Rapid Prototyping
We teach product and service teams how to build digital products and services. With a huge passion for Design Thinking, it is our goal to implement agile innovation methods as such, but also to accompany teams along the process of realization. For this, we developed the Prototyping Landscape, a handy tool granting orientation to newcomers of User Experience Design and Coding. Thus, we push (even pure business people) teams to integrate these skills into their 360 degree approach, enabling them to communicate digital ideas like apps without the need of a business-to-technology-translator (or vice versa).
Agile Practices
Agility beyond hyped keywords: We implement meaningful – not just popular – agile practices and leadership styles in a way, that the creative and productive outcome of teams will increase! For instance, with our own Kanban – Serious Game KASIMO, we have developed a flexible learning app that forms the basis of our Kanban trainings. This training can be adapted to your individual workflows in order to learn agile practices at high speed with practical examples and to reduce bottlenecks in the process flow.
Scouting
We connect traditional organisations with digital talents, start-ups and scientists. This makes us unique, as we are living in both worlds, academia and practice. We scout trends, technologies and start-ups, identify important partners for your organization and connect the dots. Here, you benefit from our personal, international network. Further, we translate outsourced scouting-services into your internal scouting-strategy for you.
IT Workshops
Applying modern, visual methods, we conceptualise and moderate complex IT-Workshops. From classical Requirement Engineering (which we would do with User Stories and Story Mapping, as well as with Customer Journeys) to Application Management – Workshops we do not hesitate to dive deep into our clients’ enterprise architecture environment and development plan.
About
