Opportunity
We want to get closer to our customers in ways that are relevant to them.

Challenge
Our culture is not aligned with new ways of working.
How do we realign?
Organizations are flattening, but their processes have not. This has created disconnects and missed opportunities to really do more with less. Everyone needs to change, including management.

Opportunity
We want to transform IT into a distributed capability in our organization.
But How?
IT has been perceived by lines of business as the bottleneck to getting things done. Now digital platforms can be procured and turned on with little code knowledge. How do you balance the needs of the enterprise with the needs of your lines of business?

Activating
Trope Collaborative is different in the way we believe, think about, approach and solve contemporary client aspirations and problems through design.
We use active curiosity + deep experience of how the world works and specific methods for exploring, proposing and solving problems.
We use active curiosity + deep experience of how the world works and specific methods for exploring, proposing and solving problems.
Activating based on informed exploration
Trope Collaborative believes in working collaboratively with clients and their markets. We separate what makes them successful, from untapped value that they want to achieve.
We then focus on enhancing organizational knowledge and skills to deliver new value. The question is how do you connect what is desirable with what is viable?

Activating by connecting design thinking with agile
All organizations have aspirations in terms of what they want to be, what to do and with whom they wants to interact with. These aspirations become structured through strategies and initiatives that shape the way products and services are positioned, used and evaluated.
High performing organizations realize that promises made to their markets need to be aligned with organizational culture & performance to achieve sustainable results.
Our holistic approach looks at the lifecycle of aligning business, market and technology for relevant and impactful products & services. We permeate organizational aspirations and reframe them for clear and focused results

Inspiring by being inspired
We believe that ideas don't know what
discipline they are in and use a curatorial
mindset to find inspiration in the least
expected of places.
