Where are you stuck?

We do three kinds of work: product direction, new ways of working, and design leadership. Most engagements begin the same way: your leaders in a room, reaching a decision they will act on.

Where engagements begin

Strategic Alignment Session

Most engagements begin here: one structured working session that gets your leaders to a decision they will act on. It ends with a direction, an owner, and a next move. Sometimes it is all you need.

Product Direction

It has never been easier to build. Knowing what to build, and whether anyone will want it, is another matter.

We work the decision out with you, then prove it in something that runs: a working prototype your leadership can react to, or real buying signal you can trust. Not a deck.

Vision Sprint

Two weeks to a quarter, depending on how far you need to see

A working prototype of your product’s next direction, built with you in weeks. Your leadership reacts to the real thing, and the roadmap decision gets made on evidence.

ExactTarget’s product vision preceded its $2.5B acquisition by Salesforce.

Market Validation Sprint

Weeks, scoped to one launch decision

Before you commit to a launch, we design tests that put something real in front of real buyers and ask for commitment, not opinions. You make the call on buying signal you can trust.

New Ways of Working

Your teams can now build in a week what used to take a quarter. Getting the whole organization to work that way is the hard part.

We design the new way of working with your leaders, then run it with your teams on real product work until it holds. When we leave, you own an operating model in use. Not a binder.

Ways of Working Pilot

A quarter, with your teams on live work

We design your team’s new way of working with your leaders, prove it with pilot teams on real product work, and hand off the operating model that scales it across the organization.

Designing for AI Accelerator

Ten weeks, from point of view to adoption

Your team learns to design systems, not screens: a shared point of view, a working process, and templates proven on your live projects, with your managers coaching to it.

Customer Understanding Accelerator

Weeks, run on your real product questions

Your team learns to get direct customer evidence on its own. We build the capability with them, on the questions your roadmap is already asking.

Design Leadership

The work is only as strong as the leadership behind it. Sometimes you need a leader. Sometimes your leader needs a peer.

This is work the three of us deliver ourselves.

Leadership Advisory

Ongoing, a standing line

A standing line to a senior partner for the decisions your design leader faces: hiring, structure, quality, direction.

“They had a material impact on the quality of hire we made.” SVP & Chief Applications Officer

Fractional Design Leadership

Set hours weekly, ramping down as your team ramps up

A senior partner acts as your design leader: reviewing work, coaching leads, and raising the bar, on a schedule that shrinks as your team’s momentum grows.

Three senior partners.
No handoffs.

You work with Greg, Chuck, or Audrey from the first conversation through delivery. Real engagements often cross these doors, and that is by design: the door is where you start, not where you stay.
