Innovation for Growth – No ordinary design consultancy. Our results are extraordinary!

At Smallfry, we believe an innovative culture is paramount to a business’s future success and growth.

Innovation remains a buzz word of the boardrooms – but what exactly is it and why is an innovation process so important for today’s businesses? Design thinking and innovation is essential for any organisation to succeed, the process transforms the way organisations think, work, and breathe, delivering increased value for customers and profits for the business.

“Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service. It is capable of being presented as a discipline, capable of being learned, capable of being practiced.” Peter Drucker (Management Consultant, Educator, and Author)

We can help any sized organisation achieve their ambitions through a variety of tools that are carefully tailored to meet their specific needs, right from theory to practice. From helping spot new opportunities organisations have yet to imagine through our human centred design tools teaching multiple ways to engage with customers by implementing a detailed and defined stage gate process. The discipline ensures critical requirements are fulfilled at each gate to meet bespoke decision-making criteria and impartially qualify ideas, so that they can be systematically evaluated to see which ones to pursue and equally as important, which to drop as an unnecessary burden on resources.  Fail fast, learn early.  It’s ultimately cheaper!
