Our Proven Methodology Framework
Product / Tech
We have deliberately put our product and technology talent into one team, to form a set of skills able to define and deliver the needs of market, customer, data, technology, and monetisation in an optimised manner. An overall methodology that is market & design/customer & data driven.
Ideation
Our initial step is a laser-focused understanding of the innovation objectives, combined with the market / customers needs via relevant insight + technical and economic criteria. We then ideate amongst the combined teams often using DWG’s controlled workshop/hot-house methodology. Resulting in a number of ideas, ranked systematically, typically focusing on 1-3 for the next stage.
Concept / Prototype
For those selected, each is then defined using a combination of market insight combined with a customer experience / gamification focus. Definition covers all necessary elements of use-case and domain led development – business process and user-experience, wire-framing, relevancy mapping, monetisation optimisation, discovery (SEO) & advocacy (social media) needs and GTM discovery, platform & data architecture and more. Resulting in core success criteria and measurement points. As needed, prototyping is used to gain initial feedback in market or enterprise.
Build / Test
Via development partners, using our product and technical blue-prints. Delivered using an appropriate methodology to the task, but always measured, flexible, agile and fast-paced, with high quality built in.
GTM / Monetise
Roll-out and monetisation occurs as per the GTM plan, with core success criteria constantly measured to identify improvements or sun-setting. All the time our team mentors in-house teams for eventual hand-over.
This framework is flexibly structured to allow clients to select the breadth and depth of the insight required, to meet their budget and needs.
