Root cause
It's not a technology problem. It's a structural problem.
Your organisation isn't slow because your people aren't smart. You're slow because:
Product decisions go through 7 layers of approval
Innovation happens in silos disconnected from business strategy
Teams lack the tools and methodology to move fast
There's no protected space for rapid experimentation
You don't need another consultant to deliver a project. You need permanent innovation capability.
The comparison
Traditional consulting
Delivers a project. Leaves. Takes the knowledge with them.
Full-time hire alone
Gets stuck in your existing processes and bureaucracy.

Industry leaders: Marsh, Allianz, and Munich Re have already built dedicated innovation units
Doing nothing: Losing market share to AI-first competitors moving 10x faster
Proof
Marsh McLennan's Digital Client Experience unit
Marsh McLennan built a Digital Client Experience (DCX) unit that rapidly validates and builds products for the insurance market. Sentrisk — a product of Marsh — uses AI-powered risk intelligence to go from idea to market in weeks, not years.
We helped establish the methodology and team structure that makes this possible.
Similar innovation capabilities have been built by industry leaders including Allianz's Global Digital Factory and Munich Re's digital solutions teams.

Challenge
Needed a single client-facing tool to surface hidden vulnerabilities across sprawling supply chains — far beyond what Excel and emails could show.
Approach
Embedded product leadership, rapid validation loops, and a design system that made complex risk data legible to senior clients.
Result
Launched 2 May 2024. Recognised by the 2025 AXCO Global Insurance Awards as the best digital initiative in global insurance, and by Business Insurance as a 2024 Innovation Award winner.
Is this right for your organisation?
This works if
You're a large insurer (500+ employees, £100M+ revenue)
Your current product development takes 12+ months
You're losing customers to faster, digital-first competitors
You have innovation budget but no clear system to deploy it
Your talented people are frustrated by slow decision-making
This doesn't work if
You need a one-off project delivered (hire a consultant instead)
You're not willing to give the innovation unit protected autonomy
Leadership isn't committed to structural change
