Our approach

Our approach

At the outset, we seek to understand you and your business challenges and from there, proceed on a journey that will provide a solution with real value. This can be achieved using our Rapid Value Method TM approach, which contains three main pillars: Discover, Design and Deliver.

Discover

Discovery results in insights and ideas

Design

Design results in proofs and plans

Deliver

Delivery results in reality and results

Understand your customers’ / colleagues’ / users’ pains and desires

Challenge assumptions, define and reframe your problems and opportunities

Generate ideas and re-imagine your bold future in multidisciplinary teams, with outside-in insights

Turn your ideas into design products, rapidly prototype prioritised ‘big ideas’, test and adjust

Develop business justification and benefits case, validate with results, including from prototypes

Define the activities to deliver your bold future, including interdependencies and sequencing

Create architectural blueprints, including business and systems, and define operating model

Deliver initiatives using method appropriate to you and the design product, e.g. Agile, hybrid, traditional

Track benefits delivery and course-correct, align to maintain design integrity

Design thinking

Design Thinking is part of the initial steps for the Rapid Value MethodTM which aims to help you solve complex problems. We can ensure a deep understanding of your business and challenges from different angles by:

  • Understanding your users and systems
  • Defining and reframing your business problem
  • Discovering ideas for PoCs
  • Designing prototypes or PoCs to prove value
  • Evolving road-maps for your products and/or solutions

Enterprise architecture

By adopting a simple and pragmatic approach to Enterprise Architecture (EA) that’s right for you, we’ll help your organisation benefit from:

    • Greater agility
    • Operational efficiency
    • Informed business change
    • Aligned business and IT functions
    • Improved interoperability, standardisation and integration
    •  Faster speed to market
    • Reduced costs
    • Secure and compliant technology
    • Reduced technical risk

DevOps

DevOps (Development & Operations) aims to automate the development and operations process through cross-functional collaboration.  It could be seen like  ‘agile’ but with operations included. The challenge is building a culture of collaboration between software development and IT teams that may have been working in relative siloes.

The goal is to create a continuous cycle of integration, delivery and deployment and has the following benefits:

    •  Better agility > better fit with the expectations
    • Faster deployments > shorter time to market, fast feedback
    • More automation > fewer errors
    • Better testing and security > greater reliability
