Superhuman Learning Sessions

Superhuman?

Are you human-focussed?

People are the heart of every system. If you make a product, it’s people who will choose to use it and pay for it – with money, or with their time, attention or data – or not. If you have a brand, it’s people who will believe in it and stand by it… or not. If you run a company, it’s people who will come in every day and do their best to achieve its goals… or not. So if you have strategies that aren’t focussed on people, chances are they’re not going to get you very far.

We work with businesses and governments to firmly and productively embed human-centred thinking at all levels, targeting and pursuing the win-win outcomes where both business and customer, government and citizen, benefit. Because when we put people first, great things can happen.

What we do

Making businesses human-centric

NEW: SUPERVENTIONS

Superventions are a range of pre-packaged consulting engagements specifically aimed at startups.

Your runway is limited and you need to make sure your product is right. And making a great product isn’t just about bringing your ideas to life – it’s about what customers find valuable.

We map your ideas and your product against market trends and customer needs, identifying win-win areas where both customers and commercials benefit, giving your product the best chance of success.

Superventions are available at three levels, all of which leverage the basic Superhuman Toolkit. Add-on modules are available to ensure you get the outcome you need.

PRODUCT/ PORTFOLIO ALIGNMENT

Whether you have one product or a hundred, if they don’t meet the expectations and needs of customers and generate real value, they will not succeed.

We work with you to align your product or portfolio with your company’s vision and also with real customer needs, exposing new commercial opportunities and identifying areas of focus to get the best outcomes for both parties, creating a sustainable foundation for decision-making that will work for you well into the future.

SELECTED CLIENTS:

ESTABLISHING EXPERIENCE EXCELLENCE

No matter how great your idea, product or service is, it can be brought down by a poor or inappropriate experience. But hiring a team of designers, no matter how talented, isn’t always enough – the experience needs to be aligned to the overall vision of the company in order to bring the results you’re looking for.

We work with you to establish a baseline and principles for experiences and interactions that will guide the design efforts and help ensure your customer experience is cohesive and excellent across all channels, current and future.

SELECTED CLIENTS:

ORGANISATION/ TEAM ALIGNMENT

Everything changes. As products and portfolios mature, priorities and ecosystems evolve, companies are acquired or teams brought in-house, team formations lines of governance need to be adjusted as well, so that teams can continue to work together effectively toward a common goal.

We work with you to understand the ideal shape of your teams and how best to organise or re-organise them to deliver against your vision.

SELECTED CLIENTS:

INNOVATION: FROM VISION TO ACTION

Having a great idea is not the same as having a successful product or company. Many organisations, from startups to corporate innovation and R&D labs, struggle to take their ideas from prototype to scale.

We work with you to frame your ideas and inventions in the context of today’s market and future trends, crafting propositions that are sustainable, scalable and commercially viable, and establishing frameworks and roadmaps that will guide you through to market.

▾ How we do it

How we do it

Human-centred all the way

We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all processes – in 20 years, we’ve never seen two projects that are exactly alike. We do, however, believe in repeatability, rigour and pace. We work quickly, collaboratively and effectively to ensure you get exactly what you need to take action.

Below are some of the ways we work with our clients.

CONSULTING: THE SUPERHUMAN TOOLKIT

Our toolkit is comprised of frameworks and methods that have been honed over 20 years of experience across all industry verticals. Our proprietary tools are specifically designed to produce highly useful results very quickly, and to remain useful as our clients’ businesses grow and evolve.

Our founder, Louisa Heinrich, is writing a book on these tools. Let us know if you’d like to hear when it’s out.

STRATEGIC & CREATIVE WORKSHOPS

When you need to reach answers quickly, there’s still nothing better than face-to-face workshops. Our unique facilitation methods leverage our Toolkit and are designed to help you quickly and collaboratively work through problems and reach consensus.

We work with you to design sessions tailored to your specific needs, so that we can quickly reach tangible and actionable outcomes.

ONGOING LEADERSHIP & MENTORING

Even the best laid plans can go astray in time, no matter how good the intentions. It can be useful to have a partner who can drop in regularly to keep you on track.

We offer our clients the option to keep us involved on a part-time retainer basis, to offer check-ins and feedback on product and experience as they evolve and develop, ad-hoc advice on issues that arise, and mentoring for leaders and designers.

SEMINARS & LEARNING SESSIONS

We have designed a series of seminars based on our workshop techniques and focussed on the problems we see most often in our clients’ organisations. These are occasionally offered as open sessions, but you can book them at any time for your teams.

We can also create a customised full-day or half-day session based on your specific needs. Read more about our packaged seminars here.
