O1P Approach
Our Approach
Our holistic approach is founded on digital strategy and design thinking, and grounded in our genuine appreciation for the creative power of people.
Behind every business problem, there’s a real person wrestling with a challenge. As a team of passionate, human-centered technologists, we saw a way to help people meet their greatest business challenges using simple, powerful frameworks originally created for the digital world: Design thinking and the Agile principles. When we used these models on our own business challenges, they worked. Problem after problem, time and time again.
So, we created a different kind of consultancy: One focused on applying proactive, intentional problem-solving methods, simplifying the complex, and keeping the human experience at the heart of our work.
The result is a unique approach to product and talent consulting that puts people first to build success that lasts—and adapts.
Empathize with Every Partner
Empathy is one of our greatest strengths. We believe the best way to help our partners is to see the situation through your eyes from the beginning, and throughout every step of the process. That’s why we listen more than we talk, getting to know you, your business, and the challenge at hand. Then we listen deeper, prioritizing the experience of each individual in the process.
Solve the Greatest Pain
We help you identify and address your most painful business problems: From the biggest or most important challenges you face to the ones causing the most strain on your team’s ability to come together and create meaningful positive change. Once we name a problem, we strategically develop and apply solutions until it’s fully resolved. Then we move on to the next pain point on your list.
Turn Problems into Stories
Inspired by Agile product development, we use “user stories” to break down problems and processes into distinct stages that can be analyzed then tested. This helps us understand every challenge as a holistic journey from current state to ideal result.
Prototype & Test Tirelessly
Putting a solution to work starts with proving that it does work, measurably and reliably. So, we test everything from new processes, programs, and products to creative ways of employing or combining technologies. Then we test it again.
Inspire Daring, Every Day
We empower our partners to put this approach and attitude—of daring to question, experiment, and create solutions to everyday challenges—into practice throughout their professional (and even personal) lives. Because the world needs more fearless problem-solvers.

Our Values
Our shared values drive all that we do, including how we approach our work and our partnerships and how we treat our people.
These are the rules we live by:
We serve people first.
Human-to-human experiences are at the heart of all we do. We insist on finding solutions that work for people, rather than the other way around.

We invest in our relationships.
We partner from a place of integrity, respect, and collaboration, and we expect the same in return.
We go the extra mile. Then we go further.

We empower great teams by helping our people thrive.
A company that’s breaking barriers and exceeding goals is powered by appreciated team members who are happy to grow with us.
