How I deliver your digital products & services

I take the time to understand your organisation’s unique needs and then personally deliver a custom action plan. Possible topics and activities include but are not limited to:

Discover & validate

You come with the idea, we'll work with you to develop a deeper understanding of customer needs, articulate your product vision, extract novel insights, and develop a digital strategy.

We'll work with you to validate the idea and confirm the problem we're solving is worth the time and money needed to accomplish it.

  • Service design
  • Customer experience mapping
  • Wireframes and prototypes
  • Rapid prototyping
  • Stakeholder research and interviews
  • Inclusivity and Diversification
  • Usability testing
  • Data analysis
  • Shared language problem definition

Prototype & test

Your customers and stakeholders best understand when they can see, touch and use.

I'll create interactive prototypes to get actionable feedback from customers and stakeholders. This enables you innovate with confidence and prioritise, so you can reduce time to market.

Prototypes can vary from paper to working apps, and I iterate quickly, updating the prototype as feedback is collected.

  • Proof of concept
  • Minimum Viable Product (MVP)
  • Investor pitches

Build & launch digital products & services

Take your idea to market, then launch smoothly and without drama. Integrate with your existing systems and 3rd parties without problems.

We'll produce a system that will scale for your traffic and peak demand, by considering the application and hosting environment together. We'll also appraise everything that's needed to keep it secure, performant and running 24/7.

  • Business applications
  • Enterprise tools
  • Software as a Service (SaaS)
  • Systems Integration
  • Internet of Things (IoT) development
  • Cross platform mobile apps
  • Algorithm as a Service (AaaS)
  • API development
  • Customer experience (CX)
  • Performance at scale

Evolve & adapt

Life doesn't stop with launch and competitors don't stand still. It's important to collect and act on post-launch customer and stakeholder feedback, and also respond to market changes. Together, we'll monitor, measure and analyse, adapt as business changes and embrace new opportunities.

  • Long-term thinking
  • Strategy
  • Innovation
  • Resilience
  • Change management
  • Future thinking
