Services

Four ways to bring design strategy in.

Each service is a separate engagement model with its own scope and cadence. The methodology underneath is the same: customer-first research, four-layer coherence, named ownership at every handoff, closed-loop measurement.

  1. Fractional CDO

    Best fit: Series A-C, 50-500 people, building or scaling a design team
    Part-time, ongoing. 1-2 days/week.

    Embedded strategic design leadership on a flexible basis. Not just running the design function - bringing commercial orientation to it. Helping the business understand what to build, for whom, and how to position it.

  2. Operating Model Install

    Best fit: Companies where brand strategy and execution have drifted apart
    Project-based. 8-16 weeks.

    Four-layer operating model installed: Brand → CX → Touchpoint → Enablers. Each layer has a named custodian, defined KPIs, and explicit handoffs. CX Framework + Experience Health Cards make coherence measurable. Refined and tested across a ~€4B Philips consumer portfolio.

  3. Design Due Diligence

    Best fit: PE firms and family offices evaluating consumer / B2B SaaS / design-led targets
    Project-based. 4-12 weeks.

    Pre-deal: design capability assessment as part of DD. Is the function fit for purpose? Is the product defensible? Does the team understand their customers well enough to scale? Post-investment: practical setup or improvement of design capability.

  4. Design Org Evaluation

    Best fit: Existing in-house design teams - capability + structure + maturity assessment
    Project-based. 4-8 weeks.

    Independent assessment of an existing design organisation. Capability map, structural recommendations, maturity score. Output is a roadmap to the next stage, not a critique of the current one.
