Our Slice and Dice services aim to make our clients define exactly what their objectives are and how they will achieve them. Using research methods on behalf of our expertise and of our business cases, we establish the criteria for the achievement of your objectives and the path to success.

It’s a research, analysis and consultancy phase that encompass the different aspects of the Digital Commerce Lifecycle. With respect to acquiring, on-boarding, retaining and nurturing customers, it defines what the concerns are, the goals to fulfill, the priorities, the deliverables, a time frame and a budget, and most importantly, a shared vision of the way to get there.Research covers many aspects, including analysing current workflows, acquisition strategy, on-boarding and retention program, customer care services, …

We set up workshops to collect in-house data and mix these findings with the results of our research gathering tools. All of these information are organised, processed and analysed. The findings are presented over a series of reviews to help everyone make informed decisions whether we decide to start wireframing the conversion funnel or prototyping the customer account section or reviewing the customer care process or setting up an onboarding program or  reengineering the acquisition campaigns or challenging the churn rate.

This phase may include :
‍
1 - Analytics analysis -> review and analysis of in-house data to enlighten the decision-making process
2 - User research -> workshops to collect information available for analysis
3 - Market research -> quantitative research to assess customer database et market response
4 - Visual research -> benchmarking state-of-the art companies and identifying best practises to map available options
5- User experience analysis -> pinpointing user journeys, the touch points and most engaging spots
6 - Technology scoping -> collaborative research to evaluate the technologies, the resources, the risks, …

The outcome from this phase is a roadmap that provides direction on the actions to undertake to achieve the objectives we agreed on.  The report document is divided into different successive steps each of them consisting of quick wins towards the overall success. These phase ends with a presentation that may stands as the start of the next phase : design and development.

Our Look and Feel and Deliver services abut on the Slide & Dice services reports and twist them with our thorough knowledge of design, user experience, conversion optimisation and technology to provide smart  and innovative solutions to complex problems.

We start with making the roadmap agreed on Step1 alive. Our experienced team members take the report document into development making strategic separate core areas such as design, front-end interface, workflow, user-experience and technology collaborating to make sure everyone is focused on the same objective : our client success.The goal is to rapidly deliver at you fingertips a Minimal Viable Product that can be reviewed and challenged

One of our more important principles is to build up a task force responsible for the project. This task force gather the different core competencies involved in the project. They collaboratively review progress, decisions to be taken, new issues that are foreseen with stakeholders on a weekly basis.It may be seen as to frequent but it has proven to be mandatory to maintain project focus and speed up delivery process.This Way of Working allows us to split the project in smaller parts that can be released and tested on the way rather than waiting until the end.And guess what ? That makes everybody confident the project sticks to the initial objective and the deadlines will be met.Component within this phase may encompass :1 - Information architecture -> Organisation of product’s data and customer data, workflow of data between the back-end systems and business applications2 - User interface design -> Creating an attractive, engaging and user-centric design that helps conversion rate3 - User experience design -> Improve user experience and stickiness with a smooth usability and a convenient accessibility.4 - Performance optimisation -> Make sure the performances are consistent on all devices whatever the browser and the OS.5 – Agile engineering -> An iterative approach to development that ensures the result is in line with the expectations (technical performance and cost efficiency)

As this phase comes to an end the structural and functional features of the product  will be in progress. All the efforts of the previous weeks will be realized into a fully working product and user testing will be the next big move.With respect to that one we strongly recommend to wait for  the product is fully completed to avoid confusion and get the best of it.

Five to nine weeks or more if the results outperforms the expectations.
