viadynamics:
innovation and venturing
innovation and venturing
We specialise in solving sticky problems and innovation dilemmas for big business, start-ups, universities and the third sector.
We are innovation mavericks – for the last 20 years we’ve been tackling challenges that don’t fit into the neat diagnostic boxes of mainstream agencies.
Our DNA
We are a unique collective of strategists, technologists and design thinkers who together have delivered more than 700 projects.
We believe this experience can’t be packaged up or applied second-hand. That’s why we don’t hand off projects or sell a standardised approach.
We like doing the work, down to the nitty gritty with our clients, because we know that’s what works best. And because we’re intrigued by the details of how things, people and organisations work, and how they could be even better.
We like to leave behind more than just a problem solved. We’re happiest when our clients change how they think about their organisation, and how they mobilise people to innovate.
That’s why so many of our client relationships last for years.
how we think
We treat each innovation case as unique and are always eager and curious to get under its skin. We think innovation should be guided by principles – not prescribed by process
our principles
01 | embrace systems thinking
Explore the bigger picture – befriend complexity and spot opportunities
02 | be curious and creative
Iterate and prototype ideas – be responsive and learn fast
03 | think platform opportunities
Maximise the potential – flexibility, scalability and efficiency
04 | make decisive choices
To build and curate a portfolio that matches the ambition of the strategy.
05 | address risk head on
Accelerate or stop projects – focus on what matters most
06 | begin and end with people
And always – learn from, develop with and deliver for people
who we help
We work across markets, sectors and geographies.
We support businesses who want to beat the fade. Ambitious challengers who want to lead. New entrants who want to disrupt.
We partner with third sector and government organisations to enhance the delivery of social, economic and environmental impact.
Increasingly, we find ourselves helping groups of clients and partners solve shared, ‘system’ level problems.
Innovation challenges and opportunities are increasingly inter-connected across sectors and spaces – innovation won’t happen in isolation.
