“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."

    OUR APPROACH

    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:

    • Explore the interdependencies of your service and product, ensuring diverse perspectives and understanding the potential impact it will have on people.
    • Incorporate storytelling to create a narrative of change.
    • Design for sustainability to ensure the change is enduring and has a positive effect on people, society, and the planet.
    SPARCK-Design-Approach
    “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.”

    WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

    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.

    Lean Product Development

     

    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.

    INTEGRATion WITH BJSS

     

    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.

    Design Thinking Everywhere

     

    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.

    Covering the full breadth of design

     

    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. 

    ENTERPRISE INNOVATION

    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:
