I believe we're a company of thinkers and doers. Thinkers because we love to challenge the study school. We are a group of super curious people that truly believe in the power of having growth mindsets and doers because we don't really settle with having things on paper or a PowerPoint for that matter. We like to see our strategies and our ideas actually matter as products or services or new businesses in the actual markets. That being said, what we do is we support the biggest companies in the world acting this way as thinkers and doers. And to do so we leverage tools like Human Centered Design, design thinking or Agile. But we also leverage our brain power of international consultants all over the world.

My job as a consultant with BOY has three main parts. First would be managing and acquiring new client relationships. So this would be growing and strengthening relationships with existing clients as well as meeting and talking to new prospects to see how we can support them through their journey of innovation. The second part of my role would be developing projects. So this will involve research work, developing materials that would be necessary for clients or just doing interviews. So it's really the part of developing the materials and the research that are necessary to support our projects. And the third row would be facilitating different workshops and different coaching sessions with the client to be able to guide them through the innovation process.
