Time to Think Big
At intensive.works we help multinationals, scale-ups, start-ups & individuals to innovate and grow by Thinking Big whilst Solving Small.
The ways we help you grow
Help companies gather Insights, formulate Strategy, inspire Innovation, and get ready for Go-to-market.
Insights
We operate Outside-In. Working with you to bring fresh perspectives to existing insights and create empathy for your customers needs.
Strategy
Work with you to determine the right strategy for the most attractive segments (where to play), with sustainable value propositions (how to win).
Innovation
Challenge you to Think Big! but to succeed when you Solve Small. Run Hackathons, lead a Design Sprint, or set up an Innovation Lab.
Go-to-Market
Identify what capabilities are needed to scale and succeed — channels, commercials, communications, people or other challenges.
Many proven approaches
Choose one of our proven approaches that we adapt to your needs. We see each client challenge as unique — these are our starting points.
Customer Counselling
Understanding your customers can be challenging. But they can be your greatest source of insights if you know how and what to ask them.
Competitive Analysis
Benchmarking against the competition can be a struggle. We provide a structured approach to understanding the threats of today and tomorrow.
Opportunity Sizing
Knowing how big an opportunity is, or how accessible a market is, is vital for decision making. We help develop credible data points.
Market Audit
Explaining the future of the market you operate in — key for leadership alignment, investment, and employee reassurance.
Strategic Choices
Strategy is easy to say and hard to do. We work with you to find the right balance between protecting your current business whilst growing the new.
Developing Propositions
Your customers have problems, you have solutions — developing propositions is essential for protecting and growing your business.
Big Pictures
Making space for good ideas to come to life — getting the right people together, focusing on what matters, creating the right environment.
Design Sprints
Structured, time-boxed sprints that take you from problem to tested prototype in days, not months.
Co-Innovation
Innovation in a vacuum is dangerous. Through collaboration you get the inspiration of customers and partners, learning fast together.
Innovation Lab
Creating a start-up in a corporate is more than just a new office with new rules — this is a new culture.
Profitable Pricing
Setting, resetting, and maintaining profitable pricing for each product/market requires strategy combined with structures and systems.
Capability Building
What gets you ahead is not what keeps you ahead. We help you build the internal muscle to keep winning as markets change.
