Redesign from the inside-out

Challenge

Lorri engaged employees in a 9-month change process, developing an iterative learning program that included: brand mapping, design thinking, digital research methods, personal goal-setting, etc.

Result
Organised and guided cross-functional employee-led 'POD' teams to prototype and test solutions for shared challenges. The company was reorganised placing design at the center. The firm transitioned from a traditional market research agency to a strategic design firm, discovering new adventurous and profitable business opportunities.

Global Meal-Kit Company

Empathy creates efficiency

Challenge
This scale-up company moves at lightening speed. Employees found themselves in high-functioning work silos, lacking connection with their colleague counterparts. We designed a program to connect international marketing teams to 'de-silo' for increased collaboration.

Result
The training reestablished empathic connections. Overlapping roles were reframed as complementary. The collaboration toolkit lives on to support a more efficient and joyful work culture.

Ukraine Initiative Activate

Connecting ancestry sparks social action

Challenge
When the Ukraine war began our local community united. Within just a few days we found the resources to help displaced people stuck at the Polish border, driving them to Berlin and providing supported-shelter with families. Ukraine Initiative Schlachtensee was born.

Result
We created a community action network helping hundreds of refugees access hard to reach resources and find community (schools, healthcare, jobs). At some point we've all been dispersed in a strange land. By examining our ancestral roots, we realise we aren't so different from one another.
