the power of x

Superior experiences drive superior value in the marketplace. But that aspiration is more elusive than ever with fast-evolving audience expectations, increasingly overwhelming pools of data, and leaner internal teams. 

To succeed today, organizations must improve their strategic agility – the combination of market awareness, consumer/ customer/ community empathy, business intuition, and experience design skills. Our engagements are designed to help teams, like yours, hone their strategic skills while tackling real world challenges. 

Each customized StageLeap Session weaves Customer Experience (CX) and Experience Design (XD) best practice training together with a vivid visualization of the most productive growth opportunities for your organization. The facilitated, collaborative sessions also ensure that your team walks away feeling full ownership of the emergent strategy, and a personal commitment to the activation and its success.

catalysts, not consultants

Too often, the prescriptive strategies and templated solutions pushed forward by consultants only succeed in destabilizing internal teams, complicating operations, and underdelivering on expectations.

We work collaboratively with your team, not in silos. We proactively train and share out our tools and approaches so your team can continue to leverage the new learning. Our mission, pure and simple, is to take your existing investments (in insights and in your leaders) and convert them – in one turnkey session – into enhanced strategy skills and a tangible plan for near-term growth.

StageLeap Sessions are designed to be tightly-focused and rapidly deployed. That gives our clients a powerful strategic springboard (often built from current data) that they can return to repeatedly to spark fresh thinking on other market challenges. Typically, we move from project approval to facilitated collaboration to a strategic roadmap with prioritized initiatives in as little as 2-4 weeks.
