OUR WORK
We are constantly adapting to the changing demands of business. Recent projects have been sparked by needs such as: “Help me create a sustainable intrapreneurship program across the organization globally.” “How can my leadership team develop greater vulnerability and trust?” “Help the company develop a more agile mindset.” “My marketing team needs a creativity boost.” “How can we run strategy workshops in a more collaborative and engaging manner?”

Creating an ongoing movement of digital change makers
We often help clients with the design and facilitation of longer-term digital transformation journeys. The Gerdau GMakers program began as a Digital and Business Transformation iniciative in Brazil and later expanded to North America. Its goal was to empower senior leadership to identify opportunities for cultural transformation through innovation projects applying new technologies and ways of working to the steel industry. Training began with senior leaders, who defined opportunities for disruptive innovation. A change agent program was then designed with 30 employees across North America. Participants worked on a series of innovation workshops, becoming prototypes of change within the organization.

Visa is using Hyper Island's creative Future Foresight techniques and speculative design to define and validate the future of its business roadmap. Our work highlights the increasing use of Foresight techniques to add new dimensions to innovation and strategic planning in an ever more complex future. These methodologies allowed teams the opportunity to play in possible future scenarios and envision the needs and desires of tomorrow’s consumer today. The session explored the “what” and “how” of such tools, empowering teams to become confident future makers.

BASF invited Hyper Island to help with the continuation of their BeyondtheHashtag program—an intrapreneurship initiative to identify internal innovation projects with teams from across the Americas.
