Our services are focused on preparing and helping our clients to lead and execute their digital transformation. Kankan*Tree offers services ranging from strategy design and implementation to inspirational talks up to in depth joint research initiatives. Our research led consulting approach ensures that advice is supported by frameworks and grounded in the latest thinking. We do not believe in one size fits all methodologies and our approach is always collaborative and tailored to your specific situation.
Digital Strategy
Today it is unthinkable to have a strategy that is not digital. We help you understand how digitisation impacts your current business model by unravelling its mechanisms that are specific to your industry and business. This impact is either positive, negative or disruptive. Next we use methods like customer journeys and design thinking to envision possible future business models. An analysis of existing and required competencies will help to select the most viable business models and innovations and to devise a course of action.
Digital Leadership
Changes in technology are so profound and are happening so fast that leadership teams are struggling to keep up. No longer is technology the sole domain of the CIO – it is imperative that the entire C-suite understand the implications of digitisation for the organisation. Depending on the “digital savviness” of the Leadership Team we design a set of one or more experience workshops and masterclasses to make leaders – through active participation - understand and feel what digitisation means.
Digital Transformation
Digital Transformation is like going on a journey with a clear vision about the destination, but some uncertainty about the road ahead. This is a transformation that requires internal and external collaboration with a variety of stakeholders, partners, and vendors. We bring the change management and organisational development expertise to help you manage and adapt this journey. Furthermore we can help broker your digital ecosystem by bridging the gaps with smaller start-ups and major ICT vendors.
Smart Cities Innovation
Smart City innovations occur when “wicked problems” are solved at the intersection of government, business and society. To date, solutions have mostly been confined to infrastructure and do not scale easily. We propose to focus on solutions that extend beyond infrastructure to include smart citizens. And furthermore innovations should be sought for at the core processes of an urban system and not on the edge, if they are to scale. Smart city innovations require a change of attitude for all involved: government, business, and citizens.
Inspirational Speaking
With our speaking engagements we aim to inform, inspire and provoke conventional thinking. We bring new topics to the forum and provide fresh perspectives on existing topics. Triggering the audience to challenge their personal wisdom should leave them with at least one new innovative idea or thought provoking question!
