We help companies achieve a competitive edge through design. We provide advice on how to design products, services and business models that align with the principles of circular economy, and how to turn a brand into a company’s most valuable asset. Taking full advantage of circular economy accelerates a company’s green transition.
Design is the customers’ voice in a company. Through service design, a company’s culture can become more customer-centred, allowing all of the operations to be genuinely based on the customers’ needs.
Without a distinguishable and sustainably designed product and service concept, a company has no competitive edge.
Design helps transform business and brand goals, as well as end user needs, into products, services or new business models that stand out from the competitors.
Increasingly, consumers encounter businesses and brands for the first time in digital format. A consistent customer experience, in which every touchpoint follows the same logic and tells the same story, is the most important competitive advantage today.
Responsible companies differentiate themselves from their competitors by taking full advantage of circular economy.
Circular design, which is based on circular economy, is a method of designing products, services and business models to align with circular economy right from the start.
At its best, design becomes an integral part of a company’s strategy and influences all of its operations. It adds value for the customers, enhances the company’s brand and simplifies its processes. Design helps businesses develop their operations towards a more responsible future. In the transition towards to circular economy, the use of design becomes particularly useful, as it makes large-scale changes easier to plan ahead.
Pioneering brands view building sustainable business not only as a responsible way of operating but also as a competitive edge.
