Ideate
Focus your investment on the AI solutions that make the biggest impact on your business. We identify opportunities where AI can drive significant value, ensuring that your resources are directed towards the most promising initiatives.
In an immersive Lab setting, we explore the initiatives core to your business strategy and value chain.
Inspired by real-life examples of the Art of the Possible, we facilitate your people to dream big. The result? A list of promising AI opportunities that support the your most important business objectives.
Then we dive deeper to unpack the opportunities, giving them shape to understand their value potential and technical complexity.
Finally, we facilitate the grouping of opportunities into use cases in service of your business' major initiatives, and prioritise them into a high-level roadmap.

Incubate
Design your AI solutions to be simple to use and to integrate elegantly into your users' day to day lives. Using human-centred design and high-fidelity wireframes, your users will understand exactly what they're getting before we build a thing.
Rooted in Human Centred Design, our Incubate phase focuses on bringing together a cross-functional team of stakeholders to build out the use case.
People-centricity is the name of the game. We work together to understand the stakeholders, their pain points and unserviced needs. Our solutions are designed to deliver value in ways that are elegant and useful.
Through constant iteration, we craft lo-fi and finally hi-fi wireframes to simulate the experience of the final solution for users. This gives you confidence that your stakeholders are bought in and the solution is aligned to your business' ways of working.
Accelerate
Prototype and pilot your solutions before production to validate their technical and business feasibility, value and cultural fit. Quantify your solution's ROI with real-life value benchmarks so that you can invest in a productionized solution with confidence.
We test the technical feasibility and business value of our solutions in the Accelerate phase. Through using real data, prototypes and pilots help us to fine tune the assumptions about value uplift. The prototypes and pilots also help us to understand the nuances of what it will take to get the solution into production.
We don't seek perfection. Part of this phase is to define "good enough" and to design safeguards against model errors.
On the basis of the validated learning from the prototype or pilot, we produce a business case that is used to take a use case through the next stage gate in the process - to productionisation.
Scale
Deploy your AI solutions into production with sound MLOps practices. We work with the tech that you have. And if you don't have suitable tech in place, we will bring our own lightweight data and MLOps platforms to accelerate your path to value.
We're finally ready to fetch the value! We build the solution for production using your tooling and architecture and deploy using your MLOps capability.
Don't worry if you are not ready - most businesses are still somewhere along the journey to implementing a next generation data architecture. If that applies to you, we can develop the solution as a SaaS application on our data and MLOps platforms. We offer complete deployment flexibility (even on-premise).
Our micro-services architecture means that later, when your environment is finally ready, we can easily port our solution. Yes, we are flexible!
Protect
Put the policies, processes and controls in place to ensure that your digital solutions are reliable and ethical. This includes good practices for data management, MLOps and ongoing solution evaluation and monitoring.
This phase focuses on risk identification and mitigation. We can help you to develop the policies, processes, procedures and organisational structure to ensure that your AI solutions can be trusted to do what they are designed to do safely, ethically and transparently.
We help you to implement mechanisms to track the business value of your AI solutions - do they deliver the value promised in the business case? What is the ROI of your investment into your AI use case portfolio?
Transform
Having decided what to focus your AI efforts on, the second task is to figure out the “how”. In our experience, there is a reliable recipe to successfully delivering AI initiatives.
Establish mission-led teams: We help you to set up cross-functional teams that are focused on achieving specific business outcomes rather than simply delivering technical solutions.
Give your teams the tools they need to thrive: We coach your teams to embrace agile, human-centred design, and rapid proposition development disciplines to promote iterative development, flexibility, and continuous improvement.
Coach the behaviours that foster an innovation culture: We have identified ten behaviours that foster a culture that encourages experimentation, risk-taking, and continuous learning. Teams master behaviours through practice, until they become second nature and are slowly infused into the DNA of your business.
