A CONSULTING GUIDANCE, ADVICE, TRAINING & SUPPORT SERVICE

BY GAVIN AUTY

DESIGN
CONSULTANCY

I partner with organisations open to the possibility that design thinking and a creative culture is good for business.

I believe design and creative-thinking are tools that can positively shape business performance, impact and growth.

I help organisations understand the power and potential creative-thinking and problem-solving can have in helping the business move forward with speed, clarity, understanding and perspective.

I offer a range of services & modules as one-off projects or as part of an ongoing partnership

The business of design

Most leaders and founders don’t come from a design background. That means their views on design often come from assumption rather than experience. And that’s a missed opportunity.

Here’s a few of things design could do:

  • IDEATE &
    INNOVATE

    Apply design to specific business challenges. Use creative-thinking to spark innovation, and explore potential opportunities.

  • CONNECT &
    COLLABORATE

    Understand your customers, what they think, and how best to engage them.

  • ALIGN &
    INSPIRE

    Make design part of your company’s mindset, strengthening culture and creative problem-solving.

  • CREATE &
    COMMUNICATE

    Shape a brand, marketing, and communications strategy that’s sharp, consistent, and actually works.

How can design positively shape your business performance, impact and growth?

I help with leaders and teams embrace design as a catalyst for growth, innovation, and connection.

Let’s talk

Gavin Auty.

With over 20 years creative experience, I know a thing or two about how design can A COMPASSIONATE COLLABORATIVE & CREATIVE CONSULTANT FOCUSSED ON PROGRESS, POTENTIAL & PERFORMANCE

Size isn’t everything

I mostly work with SME’s and leadership teams open to new ideas and ways of thinking, willing to get honest and have sometimes difficult conversations.

Straight up

I work best in an open and honest environment. My approach is straightforward, curious and collaborative. Whilst I understand internal politics and bureaucracy can easily develop, there’s little point working together if they hinder our ability to make decisions.

More about me

No ego

I work with open, grounded and forward-thinking founders, leaders and teams willing to learn, understand and experiment with design and creative thinking

Around the block

Over the past 20 years I’ve worked with hundreds of organisations across design, brand and creative problem solving.
