What We Do

We help organisations respond to transformative digital change.

Whether Generative AI is enhancing your sales process or you are preparing to serve your customers in a virtual online world, we offer you the tools and systems to decide on the way forward.

"Continuous changes are often related to progress along a technological trajectory defined by a technological paradigm, while discontinuities are associated with the emergence of a new paradigm."

Giovanni Dosi, 1982
How we can help

We make the uncertainty tractable

We help you identify the strategic challenges coming down the line and explore possible responses.

We help you answer the question:

What will I wish I had done whilst there was still time to prepare

Customer Journey
  • Assuming (often without realising) that technology will stay constant over the course of a medium term strategy 
  • Following or reacting to technology, rather than being on the front foot
  • Lacking time to process what has already been released
  • Unaware of disruptive technologies which are near release and the consequent risks to business as usual
  • Struggling to incorporate information and best practice from other sectors 
  • Vulnerable to disruption from competitors using new technologies
  • Reeling from the pace of change
  • Confident in the resilience of existing strategies
  • Responding to anticipated threats from technological disruption
  • Taking advantage of opportunities brought about by new technologies
  • Equipped to spot future signals of change and evaluate their significance
  • Fulfilling obligations to monitor and mitigate business risks

Where should we start?

For each business we work with we develop a set of discrete scenarios encompassing the plausible trajectories for a given technology or technologies. These are the basis for company specific takeaways - the key strategy challenges in each future world. 

This allows you to determine what, if anything, you should start doing to prepare now.

What else do we do?

Using our set of proprietary frameworks, technology expertise and wide-ranging networks spanning industry and startups, we offer:

  • Technological risk and exposure audits 
  • Preparedness analysis 
  • Industry & competitor comparisons
  • Teach-ins & training 
  • AI-supported exploratory workshops to bring hypotheticals to life
