We do not want to dob our customers into do something: there is not one-size-fits-all recipe. Our goal is to enable you to independently find sustainable, innovative and creative solutions for your challenges. Lateral thinking is our business: we think around the corner together with you and guide you on paths you did not yet know. We sharpen your eye for possibilities outside the comfort zone and give you the courage to use them. Provocatively we question the existing, lead to lateral thinking and, if necessary, turn processes, ideas, habits and business models upside down.
We approach our task with passion and motivation and ensure that this also applies to our customers. Fun instead of stress is our motto – because whoever motivates and convinces, will successfully master it.
Systematic lateral thinking
Our sound experience combined with our comprehensive theoretical knowledge in the areas of methodology, innovation management and creativity techniques enable us to identify challenges of our customers and to develop innovative solution concepts with their teams, which contribute sustainably to the creation of value and thus to the future viability of your company. We are not satisfied with superficiality: We drill into the depths – even if it hurts. In order to realize innovations in the company and to create a sustainable and lasting culture of change, we apply scientifically sound methods that have been tried and tested in practice:
- We use proven innovation methods, scenario-based decision-making and Systematic Inventive Thinking to generate innovations and promote creativity.
- We use value analysis and attribute value mapping to identify customer needs and portfolio adjustments.
- For the implementation of new concepts we use agile methods such as Google Sprint and Scrum.
Lateral thinking is part of our daily business – we enable our customers to do the same.
