Start solving hard problems in hours, instead of weeks.
We are a full-service consultancy using AI to empower everyone in the organization to rapidly contribute viable solutions to complex business challenges.
It takes an average of 4,000 good ideas to solve a hard problem.
Yet the trained innovators have less time and more workload than ever.
How can you keep up?
Imagine if your whole organization could contribute viable solutions as fast as your innovation team…
That’s where we come in.
Human-centered, AI-powered innovation
We start every project by bringing cross-functional workgroups together to unleash a high volume of divergent ideas and refine them into actionable solutions to your challenge.
Supported by senior cross-functional teams
After the work session, we have dozens of seasoned, senior team members in over 20 disciplines ready to help you carry the solutions forward.
To solve a wide variety of complex business challenges
The Collective is equipped to help you with an extremely wide range of challenges, from branding and marketing to operations, product development, employee engagement, and more.
