Case Studies

At Babylon Health we brought engineering teams together to deliver AI and digital healthcare services to Rwanda. In parallel, we led discovery and designed a change which resulted in a 250% increase in consultations at just a 3% rollout.

Babylon then asked us to work with the core platform team and optimise product delivery. It was great to see the team come together and start achieving sprints – something which had not been done in a long time.

I put Dan on to some teams in my area at Babylon, and I was impressed at just how much of an impact he had on the teams that he worked with, in terms of throughput and strategy." - Simon Woodward, Product Director

I had the immense privilege of working with Dan, It was amazing to see how he brought UK and Rwanda teams together and managed to immerse himself in our context to develop an innovative technology and grow our consultation numbers." - Dr Patrick Singa Muhoza, Medical Director

From a standing start with no team, we initiated product discovery – exploring and validating user problem scenarios within clinical trials. We led research, defined product strategy and tested hypothesis with a range of MVP styles and lean experiments, to prove potential for innovation.

Overcoming challenges of Agile Transformation, part of our role was Product Manager Coaching. We coached three product managers and offered guidance on delivery for healthy volunteer recruitment to clinical trials, which resulted in a 221% increase.

I wasn't expecting how much we'd learn from the research and information gathering, aside from the actual recruitment objective. I and my team have found the work very energising and fast paced."

With a limited amount of time until Funding Circle applied for their FCA license, we led product discovery to conduct a Client Money gap analysis. We then worked with senior stakeholders to refine scope and with the engineering team to deliver towards compliance with the FCA’s Client Money rules.

Funding Circle then entrusted us to lead Product requirements and delivery for the Funding Circle Income Fund, which IPOd on the London Stock Exchange.
