Description

Tackle the world’s most exciting innovation projects - develop solutions for real-world growth businesses at uniquely creative consultancy.

?What If! drives human-powered experimentation engines.

For the past 25 years our commercial impact has come from doubling down on the people side of innovation - the values, behaviours, skills, mindsets and spirit - that make the difference between a smart idea on paper and a living, thriving business.

It’s also worth knowing that we’ve been bringing our whole selves to work, being collaborative, flexible, values driven and eating cereal together for 25 years. It’s in our DNA.

We drive new experimental approaches to innovation challenges. Our global, industry leading clients are excited about the depth and speed of change they’re seeing.

Organisational consulting doesn’t work though does it?
