Our approach
We build trust through collaboration
That means engaging your stakeholders, listening hard and challenging your thinking. We help you to understand the root cause of a problem.
We invest time in understanding users
We’ll use research methodology that makes users feel safe and able to participate in a meaningful way. These insights help us understand what value a product or service can and should create for the people who use it or manage it.
We get buy-in
In our experience, people are more willing to collaborate when they can see the impact of their participation. We encourage stakeholders to join co-design sessions and workshops and openly share our thinking and decision-making.
Our designers and technologists work in tandem
We can build and validate as we go, getting you to better outcomes faster.
We go to where users are
Once we’ve understood what problem we need to solve, we’ll explore ideas and test concepts by getting products and services into the hands of users. We use paper, clickable or coded prototypes to get feedback from users quickly and repeatedly.
We review design and technical insights together
Our team considers technical and design limitations and opportunities holistically before developing the next iteration or feature.
By using a minimum viable product (MVP) approach, we can get your service live, fast. We’ve taken many concepts from idea to a live service within a matter of weeks. [add in something about technical side, automated testing, pen testing ruby?]
We take ‘partnership’ seriously
From knowledge sharing to training and support, we give you everything you need to thrive once we’re gone.
We work with you, not for you
From project kick-off, we work as a single team. This helps us to embed our approach within your team. We encourage you to appoint a product owner from within your team and we’ll support that person to take ownership of processes that will carry on beyond our involvement.
We build confidence
We offer training at an early stage to build skills and awareness of agile, user-centred design and any other methodologies that we plan to use within the project. We want your team to feel confident and equipped to deliver your vision long after we’ve gone.
How we work
A single team
We collaborate in single, embedded teams with our customers, ensuring that we are delivering progress together, and upskilling in-house teams in agile, user-centred skills.
Using agile
We use agile methodologies, working in short cycles to to rapidly make, test and learn, quickly respond to change, and embed processes of continuous improvement.
A focus on user need
We put users at the heart of design and development. We make decisions based on what we’ve learned from users so that products and services are useable, accessible and deliver value for the people that need them.
Co-location
Where possible, we co-locate with you, working from your office as a single team. We’re also experienced with online tools to help us carry out research and testing, work collaboratively and share our work remotely.
GDS Service Standard
Our public sector projects are aligned with the Government Digital Service (GDS) Service Standard. We are experienced in working with client’s design systems and have supported clients to adapt or create design systems that help them communicate in a consistent way.
