Design therapy
Helping your business in leveraging design, to become independent in navigating complexity
Companies in the top quartile of the McKinsey Design Index outperforms industry benchmark growth, by as much as two to one, both in revenues and return to shareholders. They do because design helps them generating value through meaning for the end users.
Despite the evidences, reorienting your business to become design-driven could be intimidating. Large transformational projects sounds expensive and risky, and the large consultancy companies that delivers may not feel like “your kind of people” and, chances are, they aren’t.
That’s why a progressive approach can help you assessing your business design potential for growth, before committing long-term on hiring or purchasing design capacity.

Design therapy lets you kickstart a tailor-made innovation process, based on fast design-build-test cycles. A professional pay-per-session path is the ultimate rapid cycle: if I fail you, you will stop paying me.
We can, for example, imagine new products, prototype new business-models, structure your design processes.
- You: frame your company unique point of view and unfair advantage, to focus your priorities;
- Your challenge: frame the problem you want to solve for the people you want to serve with data (facts) and people (feeling);
- Your opportunities: co-design solutions and prioritise them;
- Your prooves: design & build quick prompts and prototypes to create momentum and probe the future;
- Your plans: upscale solutions with continuous validation, get ready to scale up design ops.
