We are increasingly helping companies meet the challenges of sustainability and environmental responsibility.

Business And Systems Innovation

Today’s ‘knowledge economy’ has brought about many challenges. The solution repeatedly proven by organisations worldwide is “change”.

Using the latest research and innovation strategies, we support clients to find the best business models by transforming systems and organisations into sustainable structures that meet the expectations of their stakeholders.

Policy and Regional Innovation

Entrepreneurship and Innovation is on the agenda of policy makers in both rapidly developing and developed regions. Ludic work with regional decision makers, researchers, academics, urban planners and private foundations to promote knowledge exchange between regions and provide insight to successful programmes. Ludic continue to work with governments and local authorities in Brazil, India, Thailand, Spain, Germany, the UK and Ghana in establishing infrastructures of people, research, facilities and policies that enable the growth of Entrepreneurs and support them in their endeavours. Ludic has brought its unique flavour of programmes, events and communications that promote the understanding required for each local context.

Product and Services Innovation

Create a product. Create a community. Create a movement.

With a unique set of tools, measurements and sector based scenarios we use our innovations to support yours. Through research projects, powerful events and partnering with the best programs where possible, we uncover the context, detect weak signals and identify gaps to provide sustainable options that will encourage the change you need to make.

Innovation Series

How do you stay ahead of the competition? How do you find new ideas and bring new products and services profitably to market? How do you harness the minds of your workforce in collaboration with the best thinking from outside your organisation?

An Innovation Series is for organisations looking to innovate to create new value, using proven innovation methods.

The Innovation Series creates a platform of events and an online portal that enables new thinking to be broadcast within your community, establishes network links with the latest thinkers, and specifically determines how these can be applied in your organisation.

The Series will always provoke, stimulate and inspire your organisation to develop new ideas and stay ahead of the competition.

The Series will always provoke, stimulate and inspire your organisation to develop new ideas and stay ahead of the competition. 

By identifying specific challenges and providing guidance, teams are organised to work on generating new ideas using a Design Thinking approach.

We work closely with you to form an Innovation Council, including your business leaders together with leading thinkers on innovation, to guide the programme and ensure value is realised within the organisation. The Council is also responsible for evaluating the input into the system of the organisation and steering the various events and implementation workstreams that roll on throughout the process.

The Ludic Group provides collaboration technologies, programme facilitation, links to thinkers, researchers and authors, Ideation Events, Decision Support Events as well as an online supporting Programme Platform.

  • Is linked to your strategic objectives
  • Has an accelerated decision support process
  • Has online knowledge portal
  • Is a community space for promoting conversation around hot topics
  • Is a process for moving ideas into reality

Innovation Methods

Methods for developing good ideas include:

  • Qualitative Analysis
  • Quantitative Analysis
  • Design Research 

Methods for working up the ideas into propositions include:

  • Wireframes
  • Simulations
  • Video simulations
  • User case scenarios
  • Business model canvas

Design Led Thinking approach

Working with researchers and academics, our programmes are grounded in research and analysis to provide high quality, fact based content. Design processes such as rapid prototyping, iteration and scenario testing used during the Innovation Series accelerate the work.

The whole participant experience in an Innovation Series Event is created and supported by Ludic’s experienced producers, documenters and facilitators.

Our team uses Innovative Methods for Event Documentation such as Visual Scribing, Video Self Documentation and Rapid Synthesis Documentation, Filming and Photography to quickly capture the most important decisions and as many insights and ideas as possible.
