Sorry folks this thread epitomizes how poorly consultants understand design strategy and design consultancies 🤔
8works is a great team and doing some really awesome stuff. They were a small firm when we acquired them but I expect them to grow fast.
My understanding is that they are quite different to Fjord though. 8works is about empowering clients to design concepts and ideas. I think that Fjord is more similar to Draw (another part of OW family) that is much more about visual design, UX/UI.
Very small... and it looks like very different work than the other consultancies you mentioned.
Are you looking at them as well?
Potentially.. never really heard about them, but the fact that it’s in high growth, under a respected strategy firm, interests me
Fjord was a bad comparator as they have a wide range of capabilities as you mentioned. I assume 8works focuses primarily on using hcd/design thinking to define new business models/services/products/experiences to new sources of growth/value?
That sounds like both Doblin and Fjord...
And I’d also assume they work with a Draw to prototype concepts and bring them to life?
