Unleashing Wonders

echo

Innovation and strategy

Taking design thinking a step further, the Wonder Lab is the spark that ignites innovation. The Wonder Lab can build the capabilities and strategy to help teams relate to each other more creatively, businesses generate novel solutions to old problems, and organisations solve some of the world’s most thorny challenges.

Marketing

Wonder and marketing may seem strange bedfellows, but there is robust research illustrating how wonder can be used in marketing and advertising. The Wonder Lab can support marketing initiatives in product categories like travel and tourism, luxury goods, experiential services and eco-friendly products.

Architecture and design

From the use of void and contrast, biophilia and light, size and patterns, the Wonder Lab can help clients and design teams alike understand what features and qualities inspire wonder in the built environment. This thinking can be applied to retail, museum, public and corporate spaces.

Wonder Leadership DNA

For too long leaders have been judged on their ability to deliver tactically but not how to connect emotionally. And yet research is clear that people want to work for empathetic, authentic, open people. The Wonder Lab can help craft a wonder-based leadership DNA and coach leaders toward embodying that new mindset.

Teaching and learning

For millennia children have learned through the combination of play and wonder, but between standardisation, competition, and scant resources, wonder is being driven out of many learning environments. The Wonder Lab can help teachers and parents learn how to inject wonder back into learning, and the benefit of wonder in the classroom and beyond.

We have worked with some great clients across the globe to understand their business, transform their workplace and guide them through their own journey of change.

HATCH were the ideal partner for our workplace strategy project. Across multiple countries, they were able to deal with the complexities of a legal environment while also managing some challenging personalities. We thought so highly of their work we referred them to another legal firm who has now become their client.

- Chief of Property, ReedSmith

What started as a regional project in Asia became a global, DE&I-centred remit to first establish the understanding of our demographics and our culture and then develop the strategy for what we wanted this to become. This is tricky work! Monica, Julian and the team navigated our world, from C-suite to shop-floor, with skill and perseverance and through the research and recommendations they delivered, helped us to evolve some of the structures, policies and practices that will today, and for the future, allow us to fully realize our true potential.

- Global Executive Board member, HAYS

We brought Monica in during a time of significant change in our organization. We were looking for her to help coalesce the senior leadership team into a more cohesive, communicative unit. Over the course of just a few days, she was able to create with us a set of principles that remain foundational to how we work together today. And she maintains relationships with members of the team even now — a testament to her not just as a consultant but as a person.

- VP for the Americas, Cargill

Thank you. Your work and support was so important to us during such a challenging project.

- CEO, Wilmington

Again, thank you for your unwavering support & for providing such clarity as we continue along this journey of change. For me it was one of the most pivotal & memorable moments in my career that will stay with me forever.

- Insurance C-Suite Executive
