Spurring innovation at VISA

The challenge

Establishing a European innovation hub

When one of the world’s largest fintechs set up a European innovation hub, they tasked us with embedding design thinking tools and methodologies.

The approach

Using design thinking to unlock collaborative innovation

We began with a three-day Design Sprint to induct their innovation leads into design thinking and help them design around the needs of the end customer. Over the next couple of months, we ran a series of customised workshops and courses – from training in Customer Closeness to a Board-level engagement workshop. We also developed a Playbook to codify VISA’s approach to fast, collaborative innovation.

The impact

Bespoke tools created

Training courses, methodologies and tools developed for VISA’s specific needs.
Whole team trained

Innovation leads and ancillary teams received a combination of coaching and development.
Design thinking embedded

VISA’s innovation hub now has the tools to design collaboratively and quickly around end users.
