FOR PROFIT WITH A PURPOSE
We helps teams learn how to create services
for themselves through building service
design capabilities.
Our approach weaves training into project
work. We believe traditional models for
consulting are not effective when designing
service systems. In our experiences services
touch many apsects of an organization
requiring internal capabilities.
As a registered Illinois Benefit Corporation,
15% of our gross revenue go to free design
services and micro-loans for Chicagoland
area small businesses.

VILLAGES
In politics and economics, a Potemkin
village is any construction (literal or
figurative) built solely to deceive others
into thinking that a situation is better than
it really is.

Alignment
The facade of solved problems
feels like progress, but it rarely is
actual progress.
Most bad employee experiences
start with leaders making
decisions about their work without
experiencing the new service.
Decisions are made that set
unrealistic expectations for costs
and the realities of implementation.

Once a current state is mapped and measured teams can start
prototyping possible solutions to learn more about their service
opportunities. Many quick methods can offer better answers than a
future state map.
