How we can help you

Ecosystem analysis

When it comes to innovation, who’s leading the way? Do you know the right people to have by your side as you look to take steps to evolve and transform?

Our team is constantly scanning the latest developments in the world of data and analytics - and getting to know the people behind them. We’re monitoring trends, working with smart start-ups, and forging relationships with our alliance partners. We also stay up-to-date with the latest moves in open source data and tools, to make sure we know what’s available and how you can benefit.

So when you’re looking to innovate, we can share the big picture.

Proof of concept (Labs)

We’re working with many clients, in multiple industries and sectors, to help them explore the art of the possible. Through innovation labs, we help them trial ideas and create the ‘proof of concept’ for their business.

Right now, we’re working on an AI Accelerator lab, an Emerging Technology lab, and an Automation Lab which is exploring robotic and intelligent process automation. Through innovation sprints and trials, we can help you test the potential to change the way you do business.

Solution development

Start making improvements in your business, straight away, with an ‘off the shelf’ solution to many functional and business problems.

While much of our work is focused on projects and consultancy with clients, we’re also constantly developing new apps and platforms that address many important problems that our clients face. Our Apps Marketplace now has over 100 platforms, ready to use, and ready to start delivering results.

Commercialisation

If you’ve got great innovation and strong analytics foundations in your business, how can you reap the rewards?

We work with clients to commercialise and monetise their data and analytics capabilities. We help them understand of the value of the data and capabilities they have, find new revenue streams, and turn them into reality. It’s a very new area for all businesses - and there’s no ‘playbook’ yet. But our teams can share insight and expertise to make sure you don’t miss the opportunity to turn potential into real business success.

Innovation Center of Excellence creation

Often, clients enjoy and see big benefits from the labs we run together. But they’re left asking, “how do I keep the innovation fresh in my business?”

We work with clients to set up their own labs, so they can experiment and test new ideas, every day, right across their businesses. Together, we can work on creating the right conditions for innovation to succeed, including the processes, skills and governance. The result is an Innovation Centre of Excellence inside their organisation - so they can keep bringing new ideas to life.
