Juniper | Innovation, culture & strategy consulting

Culture

We help organizations to become more courageous, empathic, and creative

Strategy

We build robust yet flexible strategic visions, plans, and approaches

WHAT WE BELIEVE

How you do anything is how you do everything

Too many organizations build detailed “innovation action plans” that take 6 months to develop. Start iterating now! Try changing something small. If it works, change something bigger. If it doesn’t work then learn from it and try something else.

Culture change starts at the top

To make an organization more dynamic and innovative, the right leaders have to be personally engaged and focused on this. Endorsing or championing these values are not enough – they must be lived.

This is not the time to play it safe

Take chances, be bold, and challenge your status quo – behind every success is a risk taken. It’s not just products: business models, services, marketing strategies, and government programs can and should be radically improved. The best time to change is now.
