We’re not ideologues or slaves to process. We know that speed is a critical strategic advantage and we know how and when to take creative risks. We also know that speed over quality can be a false economy in the long run, especially at scale. We’re firm believers in the Augustinian adage, festina lente. Roughly translated it means “make haste slowly”. You’ll recognise this impulse in English as “less haste, more speed” or “measure twice, cut once”.
This may sound like a paradox (go fast and go slow). However it’s critical to balance these competing forces. Acceleration at scale isn’t achieved by either endless planning or simply pushing harder.
True acceleration isn’t the stop-start rush of a foot on the pedal. It’s patient preparation to reach an open road with a full battery, and attentive readiness to windows of opportunity. It means complementing the ability to act quickly with clarity of destination, and continuous trade-offs along the way.
There are some hard-won lessons of operating sustainably at speed that we will bring to your venture or transformation:
We call ourselves an accelerator because we do more than provide design services or management consultancy. We are a partner for accelerating change.
