Build innovative products and maintain them at the edge of innovation
Empower your agile product development with a continuous improvement process, which naturally supports the exploration and testing of new ideas using experimentation and data-driven techniques.
Modern digital products evolve through frequent releases and effective feedback loops: Product development teams steer the evolution of their products by leveraging streams of insights on how users engage and interact with features and content.
Innovation is fully embedded in modern product development. Each iteration in the agile process is an opportunity to deliver incremental innovation to real users. If done smoothly, frequent releases keep the product innovative, and the users satisfied. At the same time, the feedback loops and the process of ‘listening’ to the market inspire bigger innovations that occasionally bring significant product changes, extensions or even new products and innovative business models.
We help product leaders to:
Embed innovation into the product development process
Use rapid prototyping and other methods to test and validate product feature ideas
Measure product performance through the right KPIs
Design a rich data framework to support better product decisions
Source product feature ideas from other teams and channels
Connect with the market and the technology state of the art

Managing Ideas
How to design a modern ideation process and discover business opportunities faster.
A unique guide explaining how to establish a solid ideation process and a fast opportunity discovery pipeline. The book covers early ideation phases - e.g. how to organize ideation workshops, how to inspire people to participate in the innovation process - but also more mature ideation concepts - e.g. it explains how to process, package, assess and effectively communicate ideas.
Moreover, the book presents how to make decisions about the next best steps for an idea. An practical guide offering actionable advice and real ideas as examples. From the author of ‘The Innovation Mode.’

Empower your products with Artificial Intelligence
With more than 2 decades of experience in designing and architecting data-driven digital products with predictive and machine learning capabilities and more than 10 patents on Artificial Intelligence concepts, we can help you understand how to leverage AI to power your products and introduce key differentiators.
Product concept framing and MVP definition
We bring our unique expertise in product innovation to help you shape high-potential solutions to defined problems. We analyze your product concept and help you define the right Minimum Viable Product (MVP) - as an optimal subset of the features of the ‘complete product’ that will provide sufficient value to early adopters and establish efficient feedback loops.
Product Innovation Workshops
We help product teams innovate and enrich their product backlog with high-potential product features. We provide guidance on spotting and framing the right problems to solve, ideating and brainstorming on potential solutions, designing experiments to gather data and generate insights to de-risk concepts and features of high-uncertainty, and prioritizing product features.
