We’ve tailored our services based on how real-world clients need help. Some organizations require quick evidence, while others need strategic foundations. Most need a combination. Here’s how to get started.
Three Ways to Start
1. Discovery Sprint
Best for: You need fast proof of value. Stakeholders are skeptical. Budget is limited, but pain is real.
What happens: Week 1 – We assess your current operations and identify five to eight high-value opportunities through stakeholder interviews and process analysis. We prioritize based on business impact and feasibility then select the strongest candidate.
Week 2 – We build a working prototype of your top opportunity using synthetic data or current state assets. You see it work. We test it with real users. We quantify the business case with actual data, not assumptions.
You walk away with:
- Working prototype you can show executives
- Validated business case with defendable ROI ($200K–$2M typical annual value)
- Clear implementation roadmap for the next 90 days
- Go/no-go recommendation based on real evidence
Why this works: Two weeks is long enough to prove value and short enough to avoid analysis paralysis. You’ll know if this is worth pursuing before making a major commitment.
2. Focused Pilot
Best for: You’ve identified a high-value opportunity. You need to prove it works end-to-end and build organizational momentum.
What happens: Weeks 1–2 – Deep dive on the target process. Map current state, identify pain points, engage users who will test the solution.
Weeks 3–4 – Build production-ready MVP, not a throwaway prototype but actual code that can scale. Integrate with your systems. Test with 10–15 real users in their actual workflow.
Weeks 5–6 — Measure results. Document KPIs. Train additional users. Develop your change management approach. Create a scaling plan.
You walk away with:
- Production-ready solution deployed and working
- Measured business impact (efficiency gains, error reduction, time savings)
- 15–20 trained users and champions
- Change management framework for broader rollout
- Technical architecture for enterprise scaling
Why this works: Six weeks gives you a complete proof point, not just “it could work,” but rather, “it does work and here’s the measured impact.” That’s the evidence you need to justify broader investment.
3. Innovation Roadmap
Best for: You need strategic clarity. Multiple opportunities are competing for attention. Stakeholders need alignment on direction and approach.
What happens: Weeks 1–3 – Comprehensive assessment across eight dimensions of innovation maturity. Conduct 30–40 stakeholder interviews. Current portfolio health analysis. Capability gap identification.
Weeks 4–6 — Facilitate workshops to identify 30–50 opportunities. Evaluate and prioritize the top 10–15 based on value, feasibility, and strategic fit. Build business cases. Secure sponsor commitment.
Weeks 7–8 – Develop 90-day quick-start plan, 12-month transformation blueprint, and three-year strategic roadmap. Design governance framework. Create investment model.
Weeks 9–10 – Executive alignment workshops. Present recommendations. Refine based on feedback. Prepare for launch.
You walk away with:
- Innovation maturity scorecard showing exactly where you stand
- Prioritized portfolio of 10–15 opportunities with business cases
- 90-day execution plan with specific initiatives, owners, and milestones
- 12-month transformation roadmap with phased approach
- Governance framework with decision rights and stage gates
- Executive alignment and commitment to move forward
Why this works: Ten weeks gives you comprehensive clarity without endless planning. You’ll have both the strategic direction and the first tactical steps to start delivering value immediately.
Beyond the Starting Point
Once you’ve proven the approach works, we provide additional services tailored to your needs:
- Foundation Services – Governance framework design, capability assessments, and use case discovery workshops when you need strategic building blocks.
- Execution Services – Prototype development, production deployment, and data quality programs when you need hands-on delivery.
- Portfolio Services – Ongoing portfolio management, innovation leadership support, and managed services when you need sustained support.

Not sure where you fit? Most clients start small to prove the approach and then expand based on the demonstrated value. A two-week discovery sprint often leads to broader engagement once value is validated.
Services are designed to work together, not force you down a single path. The engagement sequence depends on your starting point, organizational readiness, and business priorities, instead of a one-size-fits-all methodology.
Are you unsure which service best suits your needs? Let’s have a 30-minute discussion about your situation. We’ll help you find the best starting point tailored to your timeline, budget, organizational readiness, and business priorities. No obligation, no sales pitch, just an honest assessment of what would work.
