The answer’s staring you in the face
Sometimes, you can’t see the writing on the wall. That’s because you’re too close to a situation and lose objectivity. You need to take a step back and get some perspective. Usually, our clients know the answer but they don’t know how to come together to work it out and move forward. That’s where we come in.
​​
Through connecting everyone’s ideas, The Blooming Platypus can help you address the business and societal challenges of the modern world, and develop sustainable and ethical solutions in a truly novel way.
We're all born creative
Don’t I need to be a designer? Nope. Design Innovation is the practice of creating opportunities using the tools and methods of a designer. When we apply the design mindset to a business challenge, we unlock transformative perspectives that traditional methods struggle to achieve.
Too many times, people we work with say they’re ‘just not the creative type’. We make a point of proving them wrong. It’s simply because people have disconnected from their creative self. A bit like a flower you forgot to water, creativity might fade but by nurturing it, it can flourish.
It’s time to cut through the noise
The Blooming Platypus helps organisations to:
Address sticky challenges
Maximise your resources to tackle difficult situations
Stay relevant
Co-create powerful solutions that stand the test of time
Stay ahead of your competition
Respond proactively to existing opportunities and create new ones

Having efficiently run and well-facilitated workshops was crucial to the success of the project and that was what The Blooming Platypus gave us.

Justine facilitated to a large group on her own, being flexible to meet our budget for a team day. I found the content and the concepts fascinating and really applicable to our organisation. The activities for the team were really engaging and I felt that it energised them to think from a design perspective and some very interesting solutions were suggested!
