Creating evidence-based innovation strategy, specifications and concepts
Today’s products have to work harder than ever before to attract attention and retain loyalty. Products, brands and services must combine seamlessly into an holistic customer experience that is replacing product performance as the key point of difference. To optimise innovation potential we first create a detailed landscape of information based on a systematic analysis of stakeholders, technologies and commercial objectives. This provides a robust, parameterised platform for subsequent concept creation. The goal is to create and validate concepts that are as right as possible, as early as possible, through an evidence-based approach.
Collectively our Research for Innovation™ team has worked with some of the most successful businesses in the world, ranging from high growth start-ups to $bn global household brands. They share a passion for the discovery and validation of market opportunity and take a holistic perspective on the innovation challenge.
