Spearhead Projects
Idean has a long track record of designing digital products and services that people love – from creating forward-looking concepts to delivering award-winning experiences.
By deeply understanding human needs, we help our clients reframe complex problems, capture untapped opportunities, and design valuable solutions.
With a Spearhead Project, we’ll showcase the value of design and its impact to your organization.
A ten-week design project. We’ll work closely together through research, ideation, concepting, and design – all the while giving your team new skills and demonstrating the value of design.
Beta Businesses
Lean and nimble start-ups are launching products and services faster than their established competitors can create a business case. A Beta Business is how you can level the playing field and become a disruptor.
By targeting growth opportunities through design and experimentation — free from the status quo — we help clients design, build, and launch new digital products and services.
Why should you launch a Beta Business?
Respond to the market
Every industry has its disruptors; answer them with your own. Using new technology and new operating models, you can overhaul your spending and serve new customer needs – without confusing what you already do well.
Create room to grow
A Beta Business gives you room to try new distribution models and ways of working. Because it works as a standalone, you won’t damage your existing brand or customer base.
Learn fast
When you launch faster, you get feedback faster. That’s why the lifeblood of a Beta Business is experimentation: try something, test something, direct the business, and do it again.
A ten-week incubation program. We’ll jointly explore, validate and accelerate new business and digital opportunities with a high focus on customer value – setting the stage for launching a minimum viable product (MVP) and experience.
Signature Moments
Every service, every product should deliver that ‘a-ha’ moment to their user. That moment when they realize that your product or service truly works for them and is worthy of their time.
We help clients elevate their customer experience by pinpointing where and how to wow people, turning average experiences into Signature Moments. This approach grows customer loyalty, brand equity, and share of wallet by strengthening the relationship between people and your business.
How can we help you define your Signature Moments?
Get a bird’s eye view
To start defining your Signature Moments, you have to assess your customer experience as a whole. We combine qual and quant research with your KPIs (and a look at the competition) to figure out what ‘good’ looks like.
Mastermind a movement
We’ll help you turn Signature Moments into a way of thinking that spreads across your organization: how can you make every experience momentous? We’ll create tools for you to use – like persona templates and journey maps – to instil this thinking everywhere.
Make it memorable
With all of that done, you’ll be left with a set of stand-out moments that your customers remember – the kind of moments that keep them coming back.
A 12-week engagement to assess your brand and experiences, research what users want, and explore initial concepts.
Design Thinking
When a customer-first mindset spreads within your organization, it creates better outcomes for customers and for your business.
Idean and its training arm – Idean Design Academy – enable clients build a movement of new ways of working and design thinking.
These programs result in making work more entrepreneurial, putting customers and users at the center, and breaking internal silos in day-to-day collaboration.
A 12-week project together. We’ll research your organization, design a program, and create a playbook of internal best practices.
Design Systems
Your brand and customer promise should shine through every customer and user interaction with your ecosystem of products and services. A Design System is a living set of tools, training, and guidelines to deliver consistent experiences and brand messaging at scale and over time. Idean has extensive experience designing systems and reusable assets that enable you to grow confidently and can increase your design and development teams’ productivity tenfold.
A 12-week project, where we’ll assess your whole brand across every experience. Then we’ll explore some initial routes.
