How do we Innovate?

There is no universal way to innovate. Our team brings together decades of experience from 100s of strategic innovation collaborations with other global leaders. This means we’re well placed to act as a critical friend to bring a fresh, objective outside perspective and help you develop the right innovation approach.

And when our own experience is insufficient, we facilitate collaborative learning exchanges to allow your team to learn from non-competing corporate leaders and robust your own strategy and delivery.

Our considerable cross-industry strategic innovation expertise enables us to explore customer needs and growth opportunities in new markets with a fresh and independent perspective.

And our integrated, multi-disciplinary team helps understand potential disruptions (whether customer, market or technological) and to systematically explore the potential of new technologies and business models.

What do we design? Our customer research and creative industrial design team allow us to quickly explore new opportunities; and our integration with Plextek’s engineering team ensures these solutions are feasible by design.

We explore new concepts, develop new designs, systematically investigate new business models, create proof of concepts and validate solutions to de-risk development before engineering begins.

How well can it work?

Our multi-disciplinary engineering experience from developing hundreds of other systems in other industries means we’re well placed to help you to rapidly evaluate the potential and feasibility of a new technical design or system.

Our method integrates concept generation, precise concept mapping, and the application of the Pugh Matrix for evaluative clarity. We carefully document user requirements to ensure alignment with the target audience’s needs, alongside defining functional requirements that stipulate system performance and operational criteria. This approach is supported by feasibility studies, risk assessments, and prototyping, ensuring we can solve engineering challenges with innovation and precision.

How will it work best?

Our dedicated facilities allow us to rapidly develop tangible proof-of-concepts/prototypes onsite – and our skilled team are able to systematically test, analyse and improve on these designs including manufacturing short term product/component orders for specialty systems.

Our rapid proof-of-concept strategy blends technical expertise with inventiveness, ensuring the development of prototypes that are robust, scalable, and manufacturable. From 3D printed components to complex electronic assemblies, we employ the latest technologies to materialise your ideas.

How can we make it work?

Once the preferred or optimal solution is clear we can develop complete products and systems – from the whiteboard to the market – whilst ensuring integrity for the whole system.

How can we make it?

The journey of every successful project starts with a robust foundation. Our team of skilled engineers works closely with clients to turn their visions into practical products, incorporating design for manufacturing and assembly (DFMA) from start to finish. Utilising our comprehensive set of design tools and advanced simulation software, we ensure that your product not only meets but exceeds expectations.

What’s next?

We take our client relationships seriously. When a project ends, we don’t disappear. This is why customers consider us to be their trusted design and long-term delivery partner for projects with multiple phases and work packages.
