Impressively enough, Columbia Road was able to combine all this into an elegant user experience and a technically cutting edge solution that also allows us to be data-driven in the future.

Methods that make sense

Frameworks for business success

To give you an idea of options, here are some methods and frameworks we work with. We're not the most dogmatic consultancy, and our clients appreciate the fact that our advisory connects seamlessly with project delivery.

The right strategy for you

We take a modular view to business, business-IT, and digital commerce. Before taking on engagements, we make sure we're discussing on the right level of abstraction.

Commercial IT strategy defines how IT can contribute to the commercial success. The aim is to align how you can digitally enable better sales, marketing, and customer engagement.

Digital Commerce strategy

The business counterpart for commercial IT is Digital Commerce strategy, the planning of which should go hand-in-hand with the IT strategies. This and many sub-strategies focus on the business side of digital commerce.

From boardrooms to real life

The big picture thinking manifests itself in user interfaces, services and other touchpoints where the customer interacts with your brand.

In many cases, our clients choose to continue working with the same designers from the strategy all the way to the go-live.

Design methods

We navigate across the whole problem space: designing on the relationship level, journey level, and interaction level. After figuring out what to design and for whom, we iterate and test until we know it works. Our process combines two worlds: creative and analytical.

We use and share a toolbox of canvases and how-to's for buyer personas, customer journey maps, service blueprints and other elements of digital commerce.

Ways of working

Ownership of business goals

One of the areas we get most praise from is taking real ownership of our clients' goals and treating them like our own. When you work with us, we are 100% committed to your needs, targets, and desired outcomes.

Data driven growth

Data in our DNA

We believe data should be the foundation all digital commerce activities are based on. Having the right kind of data, having enough of data, and knowing how to utilise data are the principles we live by. It's ok if you don't have everything in place yet, we can help you get there.
