A team of consultants who have practical experience in delivering innovative end-to-end solutions in financial services. All have had successful careers at the sharp end of the industry and as a result can demonstrate considerable empathy with the challenges facing clients and the needs of their customers.
PHASE 1 - SIZING THE OPPORTUNITY |
- Context – from the beginning we encourage high quality dialogue with senior managers through a series of one-to-one conversations. We start to build rapport, but also to understand what makes your business tick, ‘how things are done around here’ and what the future needs are.
- Imagining the future – we believe the key is to be focused and keep things simple. It is our role to ensure that we concentrate on the few themes that will make a real difference. From the richness of the dialogue we will determine business goals and needs. It is here where our particular expertise for innovation and ideas generation will come to the fore as we investigate and probe the current issues and markets.
- Identifying and evaluating the proposition – we conduct a detailed analysis of the market, financial rewards and customer needs in our initial proposals. At this stage we will give you enough information about the size and nature of the opportunity to enable you to decide on the level of commitment and timings for the subsequent stages.

PHASE 2 - REALISING THE OPPORTUNITY |
- Understanding current capability and identifying the gap – we obtain a deep understanding of your current capabilities and skills, leveraging what’s available and help you fill the gaps.
- Modelling the dynamics and proof of concept – further and deeper research is conducted. Every effort is made to replicate the live environment without having to do a significant build. A detailed operational plan is tested and the financial risks and dependencies modelled. After research and testing, the operation, service and market propositions are finessed to ensure the best possible chance of realising the opportunity. A detailed business plan is created, which again gives you the opportunity to decide how to proceed.
- Launch programme and build – we create a programme and build towards launch using our own resources to reduce the dependency on, and disruption to, the client’s business.

Our success is in identifying the following characteristics in any new proposition for our clients:
- A high potential for revenue growth
- Emerging or poorly defined markets to target
- First mover advantage: launching before any competitor has established itself in the market and before any clear formula for making profit has emerged
- The ability to leverage existing assets and capabilities
- Innovating a new proposition rather than enhancing performance within proven product lines
