Innovation is key to an organization today because the world we live in is so dynamic, complex, integrated, volatile, and the list can go on. To sustain and grow, organizations must be agile and nimble – must be able to respond to stimuli, internal or external, and that too within a finite window that is shrinking with time.

Traditionally, innovation was vested with a unit within the organization with the expectation it will drive advancement through research and development to drive that periodic step change in product or services they offer to create the points of inflection. Today, most are realizing, that alone, will not advance their growth or the innovation agenda. This has brought about the stark reality that for an organization to sustain and grow, the entire organization needs to be equipped with the tools to drive the innovation agenda across the board.

Engage us to explore the NEW POSSIBILITIES powered by the PLATFORM economy and more.

.

Transformation starts with context and awareness and by being open to POSSIBILITIES. TECHNOLOGY is a means to bringing about the STEP CHANGE. However, TECHNOLOGY alone will not enable that STEP CHANGE. We must look at it holistically. Additionally, we need an OPEN MIND to go back to the drawing board to create the NEW or NEXT NORMAL.

We believe EVERYTHING around us must be CHALLENGED. We must never let STATUS-QUO prevail and isn challenge the same. We work hard to make that transition smooth. We match our EXPERIENCE, EXPERTISE, and KNOWLEDGE with yours. Together we create NEW POSSIBILITIES through COLLABORATION, CO-INNOVATION, and CO-CREATION.

We also must endeavour to induce and drive that STEP CHANGE. We need POINTS of INFLECTION to create the NEXT NORMAL. This helps us stay relevant in the DATA-DRIVEN, EXPERIENTIAL economy. Talk to us to explore your POSSIBILITIES.

Create the NEXT POINT OF INFLECTION. My thoughts.

Build the NEXT NORMAL. The imperatives.

Humans and businesses are on the cusp of augmenting their lives in extraordinary ways with Web 3.0 (Metacverse), Artificial Intelligence(AI), Blockchain & Distributed Ledger,  Mixed/extended reality (XR),  Quantum Computing, Digital Twin, Cognitive and Autonomous systems, 3D/4D printing, Robots & Cobots, Drones, Natural language processing, Smart buildings/cities, Genomics, Nano-technology, Cyber-resiliency, etc. will fast become mainstream in the next decade whilst mobility, cloud, IoT, big data, robotic process automation, digital platforms and 5G will become pervasive in the next few years.

We strongly believe that with these disruptive technologies gaining momentum, it would be inevitable for most businesses to embrace the PLATFORM economy and that too with a view to COLLABORATE, CO-INNOVATE and CO-CREATE their future vis ECOSYSTEMS THINKING and continue to create the successive POINTS of INFLECTION. We strongly believe and endorse this PHILOSOPHY and make this process more effective by helping you to start by identifying something in your business or industry that’s not necessarily a problem, and then go about methodically breaking it down and helping you build your NEXT NORMAL using DESIGN THINKING, JOURNEY MAPPING, BLUE-OCEAN STRATEGY, STRATEGY CANVASS, etc

As the world evolves, the pace of innovation and disruption will continue unabated, creating a dynamic, digital future for future generations. Each successive wave of disruption will pave the way for new possibilities and opportunities that will come together with tomorrow’s innovation, technological advancement, and new ways of doing things for people, organizations, governments, countries, etc. We need to ask ourselves Why? What? when? Where? How? and map our future. It is time to reimagine everything and anything.

Some of the concepts and tools we use to help you REIMAGINE your FUTURE.

Design Thinking

Design thinking is a non-linear, iterative process that teams use to understand users, challenge assumptions, redefine problems and create innovative solutions to prototype and test. It is most useful to tackle ill-defined or unknown problems and involves five phases: Empathize, Define, Ideate, Prototype and Test.

BLUE OCEAN strategy

BLUE OCEAN STRATEGY is the simultaneous pursuit of differentiation and low cost to open up a new market space and create new demand. It is about creating and capturing uncontested market space, thereby making the competition irrelevant. It is based on the view that market boundaries and industry structure are not a given and can be reconstructed by the actions and beliefs of industry players.

Journey Mapping

Customer journey maps are visual representations of customer experiences with an organization. They provide a 360-degree view of how customers engage with a brand over time and across all channels. Product teams use these maps to uncover customer needs and their routes to reach a product or service. Using this information, you can identify pain points and opportunities to enhance customer experience and boost customer retention.

Strategy Canvass

The strategy canvass is a powerful one-page, visual tool that depicts how a business configures its offerings vis-vis its competitors.  It is both a diagnostic tool and an action framework for building a compelling blue ocean strategy. It captures the current state of play in the known market space.

Business Model Canvass

The Business Model Canvas is a strategic management tool used to visualize, design, and iterate on a business model. It consists of nine building blocks that cover the key aspects of a business, such as customer segments, value proposition, channels, customer relationships, revenue streams, key resources, key activities, key partnerships, and cost structure. It’s a great tool for entrepreneurs and businesses to understand how they create, deliver, and capture value.
