How we work

Strategy through action

We work with your team to create new possibilities

We work with our clients to overcome their challenges, create opportunities and turn their ambitions into reality.

The MAKE team understood our problem, worked with stakeholders across multiple levels and pushed us to deliver the best results I have seen within a design thinking project.”
Matt Bennett, National Manager, Distribution Strategy, IAG

 

We bridge the gap between strategy and implementation

Customers at the heart of everything

We use tools and methods from human-centred design practices to deeply understand the needs of the customer.

Systemic approach

Nothing in your organisation exists in a vacuum, so it’s important to understand the whole system to create change.

Hypothesis-driven

We believe there is already a lot of wisdom in your organisation. We leverage this to get a fast-start and avoid reinventing the wheel.

Prototyping and experimentation

Experiments help you to make progress quickly and give you enormous insight in what your customers love (and what they don't).

Strong focus on culture and energy

The culture and energy inside your organisation is as important as the projects you run or the tools you use. We use showcases, open studios, and a range of other tools to create energy and buy-in.

Work in sprints

We draw upon the methods of Google Ventures Design Sprints to galvanise action throughout projects. Sprints are rapid, intensive workshops which get big results in a short amounts of time.

Working with MAKE has been an absolute delight. We could not have achieved the success of the last two design sprints without their leadership and guidance through the process.”
Lou Sporton, Design Lead, RACV
