Design & Strategy

We’re an award-winning user-centred design and strategy partner. It means we help organisations shape clear direction, design services around real needs, and turn strategy into delivery that works in live environments. 

Our teams combine research, design, and strategic leadership to align user experience, technology, and data. This gives you practical strategies, services people can use, and design capability that lasts way beyond delivery.

Our Design & Strategy  Services

User Research

We research user behaviours, needs, and barriers using qualitative and quantitative methods. This evidence informs decisions, reduces risk, and grounds delivery in real use.

Stakeholder Engagement

We work closely with policy, delivery, and operational stakeholders to align priorities, surface constraints, and build shared ownership across programmes.

Vision Setting

We define and communicate a clear design vision connected to your organisational strategy, giving teams a common direction that guides decision making.

Design Strategy

We set strategic direction for design that connects organisational goals, delivery plans, and measurable outcomes across portfolios and programmes.

Product Strategy

We define product direction, roadmaps, and priorities. This supports iterative delivery, value management, and long-term sustainability.

Technology Strategy

We align technology strategy with service design and user needs, covering platforms, integration, and architectural choices that support delivery in complex environments.

Data Strategy

We shape data strategies that support insight, decision making, and service improvement, with a focus on integrity, accessibility, and operational use.

UCD Strategy

We embed user-centred design principles into planning, governance, and decision making, keeping user needs central across services, products, and channels.

Service Design

We design end-to-end services across systems, teams, and touchpoints. This ensures joined-up journeys, clear ownership, and operational fit.

Interaction and UX Design

We design intuitive, accessible interfaces that meet standards, accessibility and user expectations. This supports usability, consistency, and adoption.

Content Design

We design clear, human-readable content that supports understanding, reduces errors, and helps users complete tasks with confidence.

Change Management

We support organisations through service and organisational change, focusing on adoption, new ways of working, and sustained behaviour change.

Design Leadership

We provide senior design leadership across programmes and portfolios, setting direction, maintaining quality, and supporting complex delivery.

Design Governance

We establish governance frameworks, standards, and assurance. This ensures consistency, accessibility, and quality at scale.

Team Coaching & Mentoring

We coach, mentor and support design teams in live delivery environments, building capability, confidence, and sustainable ways of working.

Design through Clarity

Our design and strategy work is shaped by experience delivering complex services where quality, trust, and adoption matter. We work across research, strategy, and delivery to help organisations make informed decisions, align teams, and design services that perform under real operational pressure. This approach has been recognised through industry awards and long-term partnerships across the UK public sector, where failure is visible and outcomes matter.

We start by understanding the context you are operating in. That includes user needs, organisational goals, delivery constraints, and the realities of technology, data, and governance. From there, we bring together designers, researchers, strategists, and leaders who have worked side by side on national services. They focus on creating strategies teams can act on, services people can use, and design capability that organisations can sustain. The result is clearer direction, reduced delivery risk, and services that continue to improve long after they go live.
