Business design

Business design changes the way companies renew their business. The average company lifespan has halved in just two decades. An uncertain and complex world challenges companies to reinvent themselves and come up with value-creating digital services and innovations faster. We help you at all stages, focusing in development and demand for your new services.

The fastest growing way to renew your business

Business design means using human-centric design tools and methods for business development and problem-solving. Business design is a way for you to develop and test business ideas with your customers, ensuring the correct focus in development and guaranteeing demand for your new services. Our experienced specialists help you at all stages as you make changes, ensuring that the new business will be profitable and practical.

Business design combines creative problem-solving, a high-growth development culture and the preparation of strategic business opportunities for organisations.

Find answers for the future

With business design, we can find answers to typical questions for future development:

What should we invest in and why?
What is the best business model for the new solution?
Is there a demand and a profitable future for the new service or portfolio?
How should business be organised to support new business solutions?
What abilities and technologies are required for new business?
How should new business be implemented?
Why are customers buying or passing up a given product or service?
How can we bring our organisation into line with our objectives?

Customer, business, and technological insight

Our methods are based on a deep understanding of end customer needs and challenges: our design, business, and technology specialists are here to solve real problems, not just for fine adjustments. We build more than business models, and understand the opportunities in technology. We work with your organisation’s business and the characteristics of your operating environment. A lasting competitive advantage is not created overnight, so we build solutions in stages. We know how to find worthwhile experiments, and make sure that every business start-up is carefully designed, implemented, and justified.
