FF Studio

Exploratory design and creative technology for novel ideas

Our R&D service rapidly defines problems or opportunities and determines whether they are new, hard, or previously solved. We then talk, draw, write, prototype, provoke and produce a high impact aspect of a wider solution into reality with cloud tooling, analytical thinking and creative expression.

  • Spike risky assumptions
  • Use predictive analytics, machine learning and experimental technology practices
  • Awareness of wider political and budgetary constraints and incentives
  • Staying optimistic and framing problems within a wider purpose
  • Communicating the purpose using facts, art and politics
  • Running projects with courage, privilege and backbone
  • Tools and prototypes that are small, fast, beautiful and witty

Benefits

  • Increase confidence in new ideas with colleagues, stakeholders and leaders
  • Derisk cloud-based delivery
  • Experiment with tooling that has an outsized impact
  • Increased probability of breaking free from political constraints
  • Maintaining motivation, civility, joy, connection

Training service provided
Yes
How the training service works
We work closely with key people on a one-to-one basis, offering coaching and advice on change management and how to create an organisational environment that supports new ways of working. We run group sessions and 'masterclass" sessions on a range of topics. We take a "we show you how to do it, we do it together, then you do it alone" approach to our coaching and shadowing. Regular show-and-tells and weeknotes give teams the opportunity to ask and get involved along the way, and ensure that teams see delivery for themselves.

As part of this we can make recommendations on the to-be architecture and where appropriate we can develop a migration plan for existing data and services.
