Big Ideas
There are no shortage of ideas with the potential to improve lives and strengthen communities but making them happen is hard.
INVEST IN POSSIBILITY
From Idea to Reality
When leaders and teams are ready to turn their biggest ideas into reality, they engage Outside Angle for help executing them from start to finish. In these unique projects with ambitious goals, we work shoulder to shoulder with the leadership team, adding expertise, capacity, methodology, and tools to navigate complex change. We not only help build ironclad strategy; we also help to implement and refine it for long-term success.
Supporting Big Ideas
1. Feasibility Analysis
The first step is to sharpen the idea and test its feasibility. We complete significant diligence to help clarify the "why" behind the idea, uncover facts and assumptions, and identify how the idea is most likely to succeed in the broader landscape. This step often leads to a clarified, refined vision that everyone can agree upon.
2. Modeling & Design
If evidence demonstrates that a big idea is feasible, we help develop a vision for the process that will connect the current reality to the future vision. We listen carefully to stakeholders to develop the design, articulating the features that set the idea apart as a unique offering in the world.
3. Change Strategy
As the design is developed, we build out a unique path to bring the idea to life and begin to take action in order to test and refine the hypothesis. We create, socialize, and iterate on a detailed and realistic action plan anchored by key milestones.
4. Change Implementation
We work hand in hand with our clients to implement the change strategy and action plan in a way that empowers them to take the lead while providing constant support, capacity, and thought partnership.
