An Asian Method of Business Design for Innovation
I shared our backstory at Innovation by Design Conference about why we had to transform our business and develop a methodology when we realized that we were in a sunset industry. And how because we kept trying by faithfully capturing the data and evolving the method based on insights, this process then raised us up in the value-chain of management consulting; in turn enabled us to change the destinies of many Asian and now Western companies through business design. It is a story that spanned 13 years and how belief, unity and love for the work that we do helped us get here.
Special thanks to all the Consulites who have been part of this amazing adventure of purpose and unity. Thanks to Design Singapore, Spring Singapore and Fortune Magazine for the feature. This is a story that you will read in the book about the method that I shall complete by this year. If you like a copy, let me know in the comments below.
Here is the talk:
