Your organisation can only connect with clients and users when you really understand what they need. Our approach to design puts humans at the centre. What are their pain points? What are their real experiences of using your products and services? BJSS’ Design & Innovation consultancy, SPARCK, gives you access to expert innovators, researchers, and designers who can help you generate new ideas, build new products and services from scratch, or improve existing ones.
“SPARCK helped us define our CX vision and the role our national digital channels play in putting health and care directly in the hands of people in the future. They ensured this was not only grounded in best practice but brought to life for multiple audiences, laying the foundations for CX principles/thinking being embedded across our work."

Create and launch immersive, world-class digital products.
Design engaging and consistent experiences across products, services and touch points.
We follow the Design Thinking ‘Double Diamond’ – but with a twist. We combine the creativity of SPARCK and our technology heritage to rapidly research, design, prototype, and deliver transformational solutions to help your organisation innovate at pace. Encompassing our approach to design thinking, we also help you:
“Design is core to successful innovation. Great design means putting the needs, wishes and behaviours of people at the heart of the innovation process, so that new ideas are truly desirable as well as being technically feasible and financially viable.”

Discover. Design. Deliver.
We’re SPARCK, the design and innovation heart of technology consultancy BJSS. We use research and human-centred design to create technology that serves people and the planet.
Our motto is ‘design to deliver’. And we truly mean it. Our lean product development approach has helped public and private sector clients to launch new, innovative products and services in just eight to 12 weeks.
Our design and innovation team works closely with BJSS’ world-class consulting and engineering team. Together, we’re able to rapidly experiment with new product prototypes to test concepts and ideas with users before building and launching them.
We don’t just apply design thinking to new digital products. We also have experience in applying the principle to strategies and CX design, working with organisations such as NHSx to reinvent the health service’s national digital strategy.
We’re a group of thinkers, innovators, strategists, researchers, designers, technologists, makers and do-ers. This ensures our experts have a wealth of skills and experiences to share with you to find the best solutions to your organisation's problems and user needs.
Explore and test next-generation products, services, and business models. We offer an end-to-end innovation pathway using a highly creative human-centred approach. We will help you move rapidly from left-side thinking about your organisation’s future to a set of actionable ideas that you can quickly prototype at low risk to identify the sources of greatest value. Finally, we will help you operationalise innovation to generate a stream of practical ideas.
A creative end-to-end process that helps you to imagine new futures and rapidly explore arising opportunities.
We offer the following innovation pathway, which can be taken end to end or applied individually:
Make trends and future scenarios tangible and actionable through a creative process of horizon scanning, co-creation, and vision prototyping.
Innovate continuously and prepare your organisation for future success.
Venture into the unknown by rapidly exploring new ways to create value.
Deliver value early, test ideas, validate with real users, and pivot or change if necessary.

Create and launch world-class digital products and services.
