The work.
A look at how we’ve helped organizations design better businesses.Each story is published with the client’s permission.
A leading US health system
The lighthouse engagement, all four streams at once: a design-maturity health check and roadmap, a 40-week Design Leadership Program (12 modules), a cross-functional design summit, and a mentoring program for a growing team. The design org grew 30% year on year, job satisfaction rose by double digits, projects shipped on time, and retention stayed consistently high.
A global FMCG company
A structured framework for managing the Tier 1 and Tier 2 agency roster: clear handovers, performance reviews, an Agency Review Toolkit and an Agency Management Toolkit. The right partners on the right work cut agency costs by more than 25%, raised creative effectiveness, and reduced rework.
A global medical-device company
The inaugural three-day summit for a Human Factors + Design organization formed mid-pandemic that had never met in person. We scoped, prepared and facilitated it, established design-management best practice and cross-functional processes. The team went on to post the highest growth in job satisfaction company-wide in the global HR survey.
IDSA
Co-marketed and delivered with the Industrial Designers Society of America since 2020: a six-week, five-module Design Leadership Bootcamp (design management, leadership, value, strategy, and design for humanity) with an IDSA-endorsed diploma. Four cohorts so far; dozens of design professionals graduated and recognized by their organizations for raising design maturity.
