Collective Intelligence Method (CIM™)

Where technology meets growth – enabling businesses to validate, commercialise and scale technologies.

Maximising collective intelligence to accelerate revenue growth

Maximising collective intelligence means connecting people to people (think collaborating with the best minds), people to data (useful insights), and data to data (think IoT).

We then align all that potential for data-driven innovation and better decision-making around a single objective: revenue growth.

Three simple steps get us to revenue growth together. First, we validate the technology and sales process. Second, we align the team. Third, we empower the business to commercialise at scale. All of this is customised around your specific needs.

Breaking down siloes to drive innovation

The collective intelligence method, CIM™ is an agnostic approach that applies to any technology in any sector. But its roots like in the digital transformation work we’ve done for a number of capital heavy businesses. These ranged from innovative startups to large service companies and operators.

Years of validation and impressive results on the ground enabled us to refine and stress-test our unique methodology to deliver reliable, low cost growth. In every case, breaking down siloes between departments or individuals has been key to success.

Hitting the ground running with a proven method

Technology businesses often neglect the bottom line because they’re too busy developing technology for its own sake. We put that right.

We reset your business to scale. The tech and team gets a full audit. C-suite executives, engineers and salespeople get aligned around the client’s validated needs. Collaboration enables better delivery of the company’s objectives, and hypergrowth – when it kicks in – is kept under close management every step of the way.

While no customer is the same, our approach always sets clear and ambitious objectives. Once the plan is nailed to the wall, here’s a flavour of what comes next.

Three teams

We organise your people into the revenue team, the relationship team and the product team. The teams all have clearly defined roles but are closely connected and aligned around the revenue objective.

The relationship team handles customer development to ensure you’re delivering what customers actually want rather than what you think they want. The product team does the building, development and iteration. The revenue team sells the MVP or the next product revision and finds new customers to grow at pace. Crucially, they all talk to each other and pull in the same direction.

Four Rs

Revenue. Risk. Rate of Attack. Results.

Processes are designed and implemented to track progress on the 4 Rs across all teams. These include a weekly revenue meeting, a monthly risk assessment, a quarterly rate of attack update, and an annual report.

Pilot / Rapid implementation programs

Low risk pilot implementation programs (PIPs) and rapid implementation programs (RIPs) identify ‘low-hanging fruit’ on the client’s asset and empower staff to discover for themselves the benefits of a new data-driven approach in a controlled environment. All solutions are designed to scale.

Case studies

Data from the low risk PIPs and RIPs provide case studies that build trust and credibility within the client’s organisation. The case studies provide the ROI validation and library of compelling evidence that persuade other people in the organisation to adopt the technology elsewhere and scale it out.

Hypergrowth

Rapid growth brings risks. The collective intelligence method ensures that hypergrowth can be safely managed with robust processes and scalable technology products. A plan is developed to access funding – internally or externally – that will help carry you safely over the dreaded technology chasm below.
