Doing the right digital thing …
Digital StrategyDigital strategy is about how to create value by digital means. It might address industry or enterprise-defining issues. Or it can focus on delivering company goals around marketing and customers.
Questions that we’ve got deep experience of helping clients to answer include:
1. Is there a transformational opportunity?2. How best do we organise, manage and govern our web
presence?3. Do we need a mobile app? If so, for what?4. What should our information architecture look like?5. Who are our customers and how do we define their
personae?6. Is there a better way to manage our online content across
the lifecycle?7. How should we use social media?8. How can we deliver better customer service online and
offline?

Outcomes
ValueIncreasing sales and building sustainable value
We combine deep knowledge and experience of both digital and the financial and government sectors. We think that’s important in order to get to the heart of the issue.
Our approach often focuses on discontinuity, the greater good or transformational opportunities. Equally, we are analytic and KPI driven with a sharp focus on revenue, cost and value.
Digital done well …
Digital ProjectsDigital projects are challenging. They cut across functional and business unit lines. They utilise diverse skills and attitudes. Requirements evolve. Change happens.
Our project management takes account of these four facts:
1. Up-front business requirements often don’t capture the full extent of what was really important. Often the full requirement emerges during the project.
2. Marketers think like musicians, developers think like DJs. Business executives often develop bespoked visions. But developers increasingly use pre-existing code libraries.
3. Digital projects cut across functional and business unit lines. By default, a web project can simply reflect the power structures of the organisation that made it.
4. Change happens at neck-wrenching speed. Whether it be ubiquitous javascript, skeumorphic design, HTML5 standards or retina-display mobile; obsolescence has never been closer.

Digital Improvement
Websites are complex, interdependent and adaptive systems. So day-by-day continuous improvement is often the best, safest, cheapest way to improve website profitability.
People visit websites to DO something.
We think the performance of a website is defined by how successfully customers can complete the sales and service transactions that matter to them. It’s easy to lose this clarity in the number-soup of other web metrics.
In our experience, websites often don’t fully reflect the priorities of customers. This leads to poor customer experiences and lost profitability. Continuous digital improvement addresses this issue.
People visit websites to DO somethingDoes the site match customers’ priorities?
Action drives profitabilityCan customers find & transact
easily ?
Evolution not revolutionContinuous improvement of content, layout and nav.
Data not opinionImprovements based on hard
customer data.
Continuous improvement delivers similar benefits to redesign, but with less cost and risk

What matters to website customers is whether ‘I can do what I came here to do’. Our continuous improvement methodology identifies customers’ most important tasks and uses hard customer data to drive continuous ‘quick win’ improvements that increase profitability. Often we can get similar benefit to a traditional redesign project but with much less risk and cost.

Digital Innovation
Having ideas isn’t usually difficult. The challenge is to create successful ideas that are unreasonably profitable.
In our experience, achieving this requires:
1. Employing a process that validates ideas in the strategy of the business, the needs of the customer and the dynamics of the market.
2. Thoroughly testing ideas quickly, cheaply and repeatedly using mock-ups, prototypes and good old-fashioned business case and spreadsheet tools.
3. Working with internal stakeholders to mobilise ideas into delivery and identify fail points quickly. This often requires working at speed.
Our tried and tested innovation process rapidly creates value
We use a tried and tested process to quickly develop and deliver valuable new ideas. In essence this combines commercial wisdom, creativity, logic and the ability to manage iterative projects at speed across multiple stakeholders.
