How do we do it?

Progress over perfection

Rather than sticking to rigid process, we do whatever it takes to make progress. This might mean spending our time asking your customers questions, or getting your team in a room to sketch ideas.

Whatever problem we’re working on, we choose collaboration over big reveals, and prototypes over endless pondering. We use design to make things real, learn more quickly, and to experiment inside (and outside) your business.

When the time is right, we then foster commitment, investment and enthusiasm to take your products to the next level.

We focus on two key moments for innovation

Disruptive innovation only happen in a few scenarios–that's why we focus exclusively on the two that we've discovered are best for nurturing it in the right way.

01.

Formative Moments

When you are starting something new, or trying to keep one step in front of the competition—you need to make sure you’re making the right bets.

We help you understand, imagine, experiment and prove which way to go. And then make it happen.

02.

Growth Moments

The core of your business is the core for a reason. But how do you improve it, keep it growing, and appeal to new audiences?

We help you figure out where and what to invest in, what might get you over a growth hump, or how your team should behave to always stay ahead.

Not sure which moment you're in? Let's find it together.

Principles over process

Stay small, move faster

Small by design, our teams are packed with years of experience in creating exceptional products for all types of organisations.

Prototypes before presentations

You learn more from making things than talking about them. Roll up your sleeves and test ideas as quickly as possible.

Everything is data

From fieldwork to customer interviews, quantitive studies to usability testing, we do the right research, at the right time, to make the right decisions.

“RIVAL is a deadly combination of brains, experience, and speed. You've become a critical partner for experimental projects across Europe. You’re my go-to for inspiration, clarity, and making the most exciting ambitions come to life.”
