We have a track record of more than 20 years in research and consulting. We work globally, independently for our clients. We have been hired as interim managers for corporate clients, and engage in workshops for young start-ups. In the last years, key activities have moved towards developing innovation strategy through insights from field research, and advancing innovation capabilities through foresight and gamification. Moderating more than 100, individually designed workshops, we learned to reach actionable business goals in a collaborative manner.

Recent consulting and research projects have been conducted in the internet-, automotive-, and energy business. World leaders in cloud services, car manufacturing, and sustainable energy have been our clients – please contact us for more details.
