Engineering futures

Ideas inspire change. We use science, design, and bold execution to bring them to companies and people.

Navigate uncertainty. Create your next tomorrow

Dealing imaginatively with present uncertainty might be the best way to solve many unknown, and known, future problems. It requires different ways of handling available technology, organizations, and environments.

Disruption: hype or reality?

Counting people

A non-obvious way to create “wow” moments.

Virtually represent the operations of any given site in real time. Draw the connection between statistical models and customer experience. Use artificial intelligence, micropayments, or smart workforce management to eliminate queues. Apparently unconnected challenges, related to the control of unpredictable environments, can lead to new experiences and amazing leaps in growth.

We span geographies, industries, and disciplines

Our goal is to turn disruptive ideas into pragmatic solutions. We partner with leading organizations to help them manage uncertainty and make a difference on both old and new challenges.

We use our Garage, Sitroom and Launchpad to work on a future state, model reality, develop knowledge automating applications to make it real, and accelerate adoption, capabilities, and growth within business, teams, and individuals. Find out more about how we create impact

Garage

Engineering futures to drive immediate change In the Garage, we “engineer futures”; we set a future state for a real-life environment based on the opportunity to make much more of the way individuals might interact with machines or technology in general. Technology that is available today and, if approached and used innovatively, can mean a turning point in performance.

Sitroom

Knowledge automation solutions to accelerate human performance In the Sitroom, we “automate knowledge”; we develop tools to unlock the deepest, seemingly hidden, and most granular Knowledge gaps otherwise unfeasible to produce at scale by human judgement. They are systematically and automatically delivered and personalized to fuel new action-taking and new ways of operating.  

Launchpad

Capacity building, Expert as a Service, and AI-driven teams In the Launchpad we undertake the hardest part on every transformation: bring a solution to life. Make it successful by being usable and scalable. Help it evolve by accelerating adoption and results. And make it aligned with market needs and business plans. From proof of concept to working realities; from algorithms to teams exchanging knowledge with a system.

The augmented salesforce in Pharma

How to remove the red tape from salespeople’s routines? how to move away from just product delivery towards actually marketing solutions? Or can we minimize the gut-feeling factor that predominantly drives reps’ actions and decisions on where to go, how often, what to do, etc.? These are the type of questions we address
