Analyse
We start any project by fully understanding, analysing and discussing your direction, vision and desired outcomes. At this point our soma team shine, their depth of knowledge and broad experience means that most often the discovery process leading to your Project Plan and Implementation takes less time than you may think.
Plan
Once we have fully understood your direction and desired outcomes, we then develop and document a full plan.
Our planning process is typically interactive and very consultative. Transparency and effective communication ensures that plans both adapt and minimise any delays.
Design
The final stage in our process brings both our analysis, research, insight and planning to life.
Your soma Project Design clearly reflects your vision and desired outcomes. In many cases the designs we produce provide a better outcome than those that were originally envisioned and will naturally flex as your business grows. Utilize our adaptable engagement options to consult around a solution and/or implementation.
