Change cannot be managed.
Change should be designed, facilitated, and co-created.
Standing still is not an option for businesses and organisations facing change. By failing to adapt, you risk falling behind, losing market share, and becoming obsolete. Change is essential for survival and growth. But many organisations suffer from change fatigue, where constant shifts and unclear directives lead to employee burnout and resistance. The key to overcoming this is not more change, but better-designed change.
Just as you would not launch a product without careful design, why would you risk this for your business transformation? Design-driven change ensures intentional and effective outcomes by engaging all levels of your organisation. This approach reduces risk and resistance while encouraging collective creativity and resilience.
As strategic designers, we know how to create demand, transforming a push into a pull. We apply these same methods and principles to organisational transformations, driving demand for change by making it desirable, understandable, and tangible. We are not change managers, but we make change happen. We understand people and their importance in this process. Strategy activation depends on the ability to make changes appealing and meaningful throughout an organisation. Intertwining design and change management, we focus on shifting perceptions, behaviours, and interactions to achieve successful and lasting change.
The four core change management challenges we solve
01
Shifting technology adoption from mangement push to employee pull
Through design-driven change, we enable organisations to better understand the value and opportunities of new technologies and how to intentionally integrate them into processes and teams.
Understand why employees are reluctant to adopt new technologies
Develop a clear position and purpose for the technology in the organisation
Empower employees to co-design new ways of working and use cases
Build awareness, desire and ability to work with new technologies
