Oliver King |

| Company Engine Group |
| Designation Co-founder and Director |
Over the last few decades, the economy has shifted dramatically from products to services. More-informed, demanding, and time-scarce consumers are looking for companies that can help make their lives easier, more productive, and more enjoyable. The decisions we make, the brands we are loyal to, the way we spend our time and money are mostly based on the services we receive. As a result, even traditional product-based companies are now offering a broad spectrum of value-added services.

When ideas happen, it is not by accident.
What separates creative people who make their ideas happen from the constant dreamers?
Do you have a business idea that you're interested in making a reality?
Ideas are worthless if you can't make them happen.
Many of us believe that great ideas inevitably lead to success. Nothing could be further from the truth.
Whether it is the perfect solution for an everyday problem or a bold new concept for a creative masterpiece, you must transform vision into reality for an idea to have value.

Reset Your Mind
A product or service is merely a means to an end. The real deeper value lies in the context, the story attached. Unfortunately, most organisations are not capable of listening to stories. And this is why the gap between "inside and outside" has grown too wide.

Creative Research for Service Design
