Turning corporations into hyperscale startups. Employees into owners.

We coach, train and mentor teams to build and scale innovations faster using the latest business management methods and lean innovation techniques. We believe in a scientific approach to innovation, where gut-feel and HIPPOs (highest paid person’s opinions) are replaced with carefully planned experimentation. The result is reaching product-market fit in the shortest possible time while preventing wasteful expenditure associated with executing unvalidated business cases.

What We Do

We fill the gap between strategy and execution by helping companies move ideas from thought-world into the real world as quickly as possible to validate assumptions and prevent wasted expenditure on unproven business cases.

All programs delivered online or in-person.
Context

A new insurance company wanted to test value added services to boost their growth. We ran a 5-day growth hacking sprint to test their go-to-market strategy and messaging strategy.

Impact

Built and tested 2 marketing video concepts and a landing page with customers and improved their go-to-market strategy. Upskilled the team on growth hacking. They achieved R100mil in turnover growth as a result.

“We doubled revenue in 4-months!”

Case Study

Insuretech achieves exponential growth.

Case Study

Pay-TV provider tests new consumer app.

Context

Worked with a multinational media house and Pay-TV provider to prototype and test a new consumer app in 4 days. Collected market data and compiled a business case in record time.

Impact

Timeline from idea to approved business case was condensed down from an average of 6 months to 18 days. A pilot was then initiated to test the Business Model.

“Every project should kick-off with a Design Sprint. This would normally have taken months!”

Context

Ran a 4-day Design Sprint to launch a new website with a call to action, ran a Facebook campaign and measured the conversion rate and cost of acquisition while iterating on the pricing and product features.

Impact

We collected real market data which was used to validate the business model. Initially the product had 7 different price points but 80% of customers went for only 3 of the offers, so the other 4 was dropped.

“We saved tens of millions of Rands!”

Case Study

Telco experiments with new business model.
