Breakthrough innovation needs people with different minds to deliver different outcomes. To understand the future and develop breakthrough ideas we collaborate with creators: outliers, misfits, rebels and crazy ones.
Breakthrough innovation needs people with different minds to deliver different outcomes. We collaborate with creators: outliers, misfits, rebels and the crazy ones to understand the future and develop breakthrough strategies.
We are experts in harnessing cognitive diversity at scale to help innovators see things differently and think differently. Our unique source of divergent perspective is channelled from The Sense Network. We are home to 5,000+ creators from over 1,000 cities worldwide.
Since 1999, Sense Worldwide has helped some of the world's most innovative companies be more innovative. Nike, Sonos, PepsiCo, Barclays, Viacom, Diageo, BUPA, GE, SC Johnson, Blue Diamond and many other organisations collaborate with The Sense Network to shape their future.
How a Mormon born belly dancer helped Kellogg's to reframe the definition of sexy. How an OCD homeowner inspired the future of bathroom cleaning for SC Johnson. How a Chicago barman armed with a sex toy showed GE the future of refrigeration. How leading edge millennials helped PepsiCo create a $150M beverage brand in a year. How a Hollywood virtual reality producer helped Sonos design the future of voice control.
We work as one team in collaboration with our partners and The Sense Network. We use agile workflows to discover future needs, evaluate and de-risk existing pipelines, ideate, iterate and design breakthrough innovation.
