To thrive in a changing world you need new ideas that lead to action.
Our creative process generates new ideas to tackle challenges, explore opportunities and make decisions.
Good ideas start with great questions
We digest your strategy and purpose, come up with great questions to frame the challenge, then work with your teams to develop and validate breakthrough ideas that can generate real value. It’s seldom a single idea, it’s normally a coherent set that works.
Just the ideas (and a plan)
We focus on giving you amazing ideas that are well organised, validated and easy to communicate. We also work with you to create an action plan so you can make them happen.
We don’t sell transformations, rebrands, change-management, technology platforms and all the rest of it. This lets us be fearless in our pursuit of brilliant ideas and better outcomes.
“Talking to Diagram at the outset of your project is a must.”
— Ingrid Strange, mysuper, ACC
Creativity builds alignment
Your team already has ideas. We listen. We find that teams feel more valued, more engaged, more aligned, and enjoy themselves when participating in our carefully designed workshops and activities. It’s a happy byproduct of our collaborative and creative process.
Escape business-as-usual
Good ideas speak for themselves, but they hide behind the status quo, and in the gaps between teams. You need to stray out of your lane and employ a different way of thinking to find ideas that have meaningful impact. You need an independent perspective to help you join the dots between customers, data, processes, people and possibilities.
“In addition to being super skilled at what you do, you also make it fun which I totally appreciate.”
— Sebastian Grodd, Life Flight
