Optimize your problem solving processes

We support corporates on a lean transformation journey to establish an internal grassroots movement, where everyone has the confidence to think and act with a continuous improvement mindset.

We help you to implement an environment where everybody proactively shares and tackles improvement ideas across the value chain.
Maturity levels from problem to value (from ML0 to ML3)
We firmly believe everything starts with identifying a problem. The journey towards delivering value is NOT a straight line.
We use a blend of the best aspects of leading innovation methodologies like Design Thinking, Lean Startup, Google-Venture’s Design Sprint and Agile / Scrum.

ML0 ◆ Problem Discovery brings transparency in collecting, discussing and prioritising which problems are good candidates for further exploration.

ML1 ◆ Problem Framing provides in-depth problem space exploration and opportunity definition.

ML2 ◆ Solution Design quickly validates your highest risk assumptions using fast lean experiments.

ML3 ◆ Value Delivery iteratively delivers value, sets targets and monitors key metrics.
