We see signals where others see noise. We believe in the value of equal parts ideas, insight and inspiration.
We see value in old and new ways of working
and remix them to solve new problems. We see the potential to reframe and reimagine your opportunity.
We help clients envision many possible paths, with access to advanced capabilities and services to give them the ability to push forward.
Where others carefully navigate change and stop at uncertainty, Ignition helps you confidently move beyond.
Vision: Define your North Star, clarify or affirm your purpose and translate both into actionable business strategy for the enterprise, function, or issue. Enhance the impact and effectiveness of teaming through a shared experience that brings your team together to set strategy; gain relevant context (through strategic intelligence); translate insights
into implications for your business; and collaborate on
actionable commitments.
Acceleration: Tackle those pressing endeavors that require the attention and commitment of senior leadership, stakeholder alignment, accelerated design, and mobilization across a business function, business unit, or enterprise at unconventional speed.

and capabilities.
Innovation Advisory: We take a collaborative approach to define and create a self-sustaining model for innovation supported by an immersive, hands-on approach to design-thinking, doing, teaching, and coaching.
Business Model Innovation: Today, innovation is happening on a steep, exponential curve. To survive, companies need to navigate the complex problems that arise from high levels of disruption and uncertainty. How does your business model keep pace? We understand the signals of change, explore the possibility space, identify opportunities and develop scenarios, and simulate strategic responses (wargaming), before testing strategies through rapid experimentation.
Startup by Design: A designed approach aimed at identifying the greatest opportunities in a rapidly changing landscape and designing successful ventures to capitalize on them. We work with early-adopter clients to embed as a ‘startup’ in residence, to drive innovation from the inside-out. With clients who are playing catch-up, we can be an accelerator to kick-start large-scale transformations through phase 0 engagements.
Experiment by Design: Most prototyping capabilities focus on building a solution rapidly. Today, technical feasibility is rarely an unknown. “Can we build it?” isn’t the important question to answer. More often than not, the focus should be on the other dimensions of uncertainty—desirability, viability, or scalability. We bring a disciplined approach to experimental design, far outstripping traditional rapid prototyping. Beyond typical visual prototyping, we build and test every aspect of your business and operating model.
Connect leading-edge data and analytics techniques to
their relevance in critical issues explored in a wider
business context.
Education: Implementation of any technology involves extensive definition of the “why” and “how”. Some leaders—typically those outside of direct technology responsibilities—need more of the “what”, especially when approaching emerging technologies, such as Advanced Analytics, Automation, Data Management, or Decision Science. We introduce and ground understanding of these technologies and how you can benefit.
Solutioning: We provide a deeper and targeted review of a curated set of technology solutions tied together by an overarching framework relevant to a particular business function or sector. This review typically incorporates a maturity assessment to surface alignment, understanding, and gaps in order to design a forward-looking vision
and roadmap.
