Key Elements of our Approach
01. The Sunbird
Just as Sunbirds fly from bud to bud, transferring pollen between flowers, we help you innovate by transplanting ideas across different divides to create something new.
1.
Look at industries completely different from yours and take ideas that if applied to the problem at hand, would solve it.
2.
Using the power of analogies describe similarities such as shared product design and product features.
3.
Examine how and why the ideas worked initially and what similarities or differences will make them work again.
4.
Harvest working concepts and then find a way to plug them to provide solutions in your field.
02. The Architect
Just as professional architects design skyscrapers, we help you innovate by seeing gaps and envisioning how separate parts can fit together to form a new logical design.
1.
Start by looking at what is NOT there. Instead of focusing on existing solutions, hunt for what is missing.
2.
Most people pick up anomalies or gaps but tend to fit discrepancies into existing frames of reference. To innovate, don’t dismiss inconsistencies.
3.
Listen for silence and pay attention to what others ignore. When you detect the slightest anomaly, Ask “WHY?”
4.
Become a problem finder. Ask “Where is the pain?” Identify friction points, bottlenecks and complications and craft new solutions.
03. The Integrator
Integrate and invent a new way forward by assembling opposites. We help you innovate by combining existing elements to shape novel outcomes.
1.
Integration involves finding opportunities to overlap ideas and discover ways that two disparate elements might make a good marriage.
2.
Integrators don’t haphazardly meld elements. They don’t simply expand categories to add new and different items. Instead, they fuse distinct pieces, with a focus on filling a specific gap.
3.
The ability to see pieces independently is what enables integrators to disentangle elements and assemble them in new and different amalgamations.
4.
Just as we laugh at the discordant juxtaposition of ideas in comedy, and the unusual combination of spices yields exotic foods, by mixing and matching elements, we prompt the most creative ideas.
Execution matters.
Many companies create a broad strategy and then outline a detailed plan on a shorter timeframe. The delay between defining the strategy and putting it into action can be substantial, and if not handled properly, it can result in unsatisfactory outcomes.
To bridge the gap between the long-term strategy and short-term execution, we use migration management. This approach concentrates on tasks aimed at reshaping the company to seize both present and future opportunities.
Advantages of this approach.
Visibility of the underlying assumptions so that vulnerabilities can be monitored and managed.
Time-phased transformation model to make steady progress towards your future state.
Robustness to respond to unanticipated changes, such as a severe economic downturn, without abandoning a sound strategy.
