design works to create value and a small picture

Creating value is why we design. By giving form to strategy, we make strategy actionable in the real world. By posing new possibilities, we resolve
dilemmas and get past obstacles and constraints. Design for us needs to be emotionally intelligent, because people experience it. Their responses to great design go to the heart of the value it provides. There's a clear link between human satisfaction and enjoyment and the spirit with which they engage in
the different activities of life. For us, great design is sustainable, too. We aim for high performance and we look beyond each project's intended useful life to

ask how it can be renewed, reused, or recycled. What we design is flexible and open-ended, ready for whatever challenges the future throws at it.
Design wants to be robust so that its value will endure.

We know how to realize the value of design at
every scale—small, medium, or large—and in
every location. When we work with our clients,
the first step is to understand their expectations—
their value proposition for the project or program.
Together, we create a scorecard that sets out what
value means and how it will be measured. As we
explore the project's opportunities through design,
new ideas and directions are posed. Our focus is
on innovation that adds tangibly to ROI through
higher performance.
