Consulting & Strategy

Consulting… sure we might just ask for your watch to tell you what time it is. But we’ll see things differently. A different perspective. We’ll help you understand where you really are today— and help you visualize, strategize and execute for what’s around the corner.

Example ThinkPurple Engagement: a 2 day ($5,000) ThinkPurple Digital Transformation Strategy Workshop. Bringing together department & functional area leads that evolves into a perpetual Digital Transformation Team.

This is not an IT Consultant or technology implementation service— this is Business & Digital Strategy following the ThinkPurple Methodology of human centric digital strategy.
