GET TO KNOW OUR OFFER
First things first: We don't claim to have all the answers - we're here to accompany the complexities of transformational processes with sensitivity, empathy, adaptability, and tangible value - on an organizational and personal level.
Looking at transformation with an holistic lens, we consider several aspects of an organization to be impactful and successful. Therefore, we defined four focus areas in which we support:
-
Every form of organizational transformation intervenes in the lives of employees. We help leaders to understand their role in guiding their employees through this change. This includes applying agile leadership principles, methods of self-organization, role-based working models, systemic coaching practices and experience design to to support an adaptive mindset and inner growth.

From Design Sprints to Prototyping, we guide your journey to create customer-centric solutions and foster an innovation-driven culture.

“A very high professionalism at all level. It is always great fun to think through, plan and implement projects with you, that are not only covering customer needs, but are also inspiring the employees! Looking very much forward to our next steps!“
Silke Wiesel, Head of Customer Experience CEE & HUB

Due to regulatory market changes, customer orientation is becoming a global focus. Market-responsible teams should be supported at the local level so that the transformation from product to customer focus can succeed.
Our Approach
Conception and roll-out of "Agile Experience Design Program" for the CEE & HUB region, which enables local teams to align local marketing and sales activities with new customer expectations: Comprehensive, clearly structured and with high flexibility to adjust to current needs on the go.
“[…] their coaching guidance helped us face the challenges with determination and confidence. It was great to work with such dedicated and inspiring people.”
Visorjan Koja, Intrapreneur
Initial Situation
After the development of an initial idea for a payment app as part of the RBI Innovation Garden, the Scan&Go team needed help with user interface and user experience design.
Our Approach
By guiding the team through a Google Design Sprint, with an interdisciplinary team of designers and innovation experts, a prototype was built and tested within 5 days. An inexpensive way to truly test their hypothesis and the desirability of their product before it was being built by developers.
