A new way to think

At KO Insights, we work at the intersection of technology, humanity, and business strategy and take you beyond your current construct, reimagining your path forward.

We provide deep, dimensional thinking and strategic clarity around tech innovation and digital transformation that’s better for your business and better for humanity.

And we also deliver breakthrough insights about how to make your efforts even more effective.

Our work provides a shared vocabulary among tech and non-tech leaders and teams to cut through the ambiguities around tech projects.

Better prioritization of tech projects results in a more aligned—and therefore more effective—use of resources.

Here’s a sampling of how we’ve delivered ROI to our clients.

That’s in addition to regularly presenting keynotes on Tech Humanist strategy, human-centric digital transformation, and the future of meaningful human experience to hundreds of executive leaders of top global corporations—and getting to hear their questions and what keeps them up at night.

Whether we're updating your strategy, aligning your team, elevating your decision-making:
let's set you up for a brighter future.

How our disciplined rigorous process works

Strategy

Lead strategic discovery with meaningful questions

Meet over a whiteboard session to identify what we want to accomplish over the full engagement:

- What challenges you’re facing

- How you’ve tried to solve them and what you’ve learned

- What additional solutions and resources we might need

- How we’ll recognize successes

Clarity

Go beyond answers to deliver timely approaches and meaningful alignment

Articulate a strategy that guides your next steps to reveal opportunities to invest in customer experience technology and internal infrastructure, and ways to improve overall data collection and use. Define what’s next.

Insights

Formulate timeless insights

Insights are the key to future-ready strategy. Look for them in the liminal space between questions and answers. Formulate enduring insights that can inspire timely approaches again and again.

Foresights

Identify bankable foresights

Align to today’s strategic decisions ensuring that your company is future-ready.

“...the skill and wisdom to come up with good, and often novel, approaches, and the diplomacy to navigate a tense working environment.”

Solution components

Engage with us in the way that meets your needs.

Strategic Facilitation

Transformational strategy often needs outside help:  the nuanced input of an outside expert, sometimes in a session conducted outside your normal workspace. Or an outside perspective brought into your board meeting or executive team planning session.

We work with you to develop the best format—onsite or offsite, in person or virtual, front-led or richly collaborative—to deliver the outcomes you need the day to yield.

Strategic Consulting

Whether change is happening inside the organization or in the world outside—or more likely both—leaders benefit from third-party expert input to keep teams aligned and on course for future-readiness.

If your strategy is in chaos or you’re struggling to grow, we offer one-on-one or small group sessions at your office or via virtual meeting to help you unpack the challenge, reframe it, and develop an action plan.

In addition, we can offer ongoing guidance and consulting through a retained arrangement.
