Approach

Innovative services for an interconnected world

Customers' journeys are more complex than ever. They're shaping their own experiences, navigating non-linear journeys across multiple touchpoints, and raising expectations continuously.

We take a touchpoint-agnostic approach, designing deeply personalized, non-linear customer journeys.

Co-creating your future

Manyone's co-creative approach connects with your organization, strategy, markets, and customers, enabling you to:

  • Identify and activate strategic opportunities for creating world-class experiences and building loyalty

  • Select the right innovation model

  • Align your services with your business strategy and future customer needs

  • Strengthen your service design capabilities

  • Explore new partnerships and emerging technologies.

This approach empowers you to rapidly validate, launch, and iterate value-driven services, capture insights, and stay ahead in an increasingly fragmented, hybrid landscape.

Future-proofing through ecosystems

By designing for ecosystems we future-proof your business and help you adapt to changing demands, technologies, and risks while empowering your customers and helping them navigate touchpoints.

Looking ahead, no single provider will own the entire customer relationship.

Volvo app vision: Navigating innovation for the next evolution

Volvo wanted a tangible vision for their Volvo Cars app. The challenge was to help push app innovation from the app’s current state towards a bold, five-year vision and balance incremental improvements with disruptive innovation.

We painted a picture of an ambitious future with improved onboarding, post-purchase shopping, smart insights, and other personalized features to spark re-engagement.

Through close collaboration with the app product leadership and key stakeholders, we shaped a clear and ambitious short-term app vision that set the direction towards a premium digital experience.

Co-creating global goods through needs-based innovation in LMICs

The World Diabetes Foundation set out to create a new digital product offering aimed at improving health outcomes in low- and middle-income countries and a process by which other organizations could be inspired.

Through research and co-creation with global and local partners, we created a range of ‘global goods’ for early detection of diabetes in communities, disease management through health information systems on the national level, and learning and performance management for healthcare professionals to improve overall health outcomes.

From problem definition to a global toolbox.
