We assist our clients in achieving step-change innovation across products, process and even fundamental business models. |
To keep pace with the rapid pace of tech innovation and to achieve transformational change, our clients recognise the need for radical innovation across products, process and even fundamental business models. To build a culture of innovation and experimentation across the organisation and move beyond transactional relationships in the value chain, companies need to work in new ways with new collaborators, embracing open and collaborative innovation.
This requires thinking differently about the role of innovation. It requires a new knowledge base for sustainable innovation, and the integration of social and environmental parameters and scenarios into innovation processes.

Identifying new sources of value
We help companies develop innovation tools and models to integrate social and environmental dimensions, including circular economy tools. We lead and facilitate innovation processes to help clients to identify opportunities for sustainable value creation.
Connecting to innovators and entrepreneurs
Drawing on our international network and the extensive Cambridge cluster of innovators and entrepreneurs, we expose our clients to the latest technologies and business models, supporting them to refine their innovation, collaboration and corporate venturing strategies.
Facilitating collaborative innovation projects
By working across functions within an organisation or by bringing together multiple organisations, we support clients to foster a creative yet structured space for innovation.
We provide insight and access to research; diverse stakeholder perspectives to challenge and test thinking; and facilitate the processes of scoping, ideating, roadmapping and piloting innovations.
Sharing innovative practice
We help our clients to distil the lessons from their sustainable innovation work, providing rigour, structure and credibility to create case studies. We enable clients to share their insight widely across our network and beyond, showing their leadership and by providing an evidence base to inspire and de-risk action from others.
