My role

Led the strategy, service design and development of an AI-powered innovation capability that combines agentic AI, strategic research and rapid experimentation to continuously discover business opportunities and accelerate solution creation across industries.

The challenge

Business development teams relied on manual research, fragmented information sources and disconnected innovation processes to identify client opportunities. The challenge was to design a scalable AI capability capable of continuously monitoring industries, synthesizing strategic insights and accelerating the transformation of opportunities into client-ready solution concepts.

The outcome

Designed and implemented the Design Engine, an AI-powered innovation capability that orchestrates specialized AI agents to automate opportunity discovery, generate strategic insights and rapidly prototype solution concepts using Microsoft Copilot, Cursor, Claude, Figma and other AI tools. The initiative significantly accelerated research, reduced concept creation time and enabled consulting teams to focus on strategic decision-making and business development.

Problem space

Business development and innovation teams often rely on manual research, fragmented information sources and time-consuming discovery processes to identify new client opportunities.

As industries evolve rapidly, it becomes increasingly difficult to continuously monitor digital ecosystems, understand emerging trends and translate insights into actionable business opportunities before competitors.

The challenge was to design a scalable AI-powered capability capable of continuously researching markets, identifying high-value opportunities and accelerating the creation of client-ready innovation concepts.

AI Innovation Engine — problem space
Solution space

We designed an AI-powered innovation engine that combines agentic AI, strategic design and rapid experimentation into a continuous opportunity discovery workflow.

A network of specialized AI agents continuously analyzes client ecosystems, industry trends, competitor experiences and internal knowledge to identify emerging business opportunities. These insights are synthesized into strategic briefs and rapidly transformed into solution concepts through AI-assisted prototyping using tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Cursor, Claude and Figma.

The result is a scalable innovation capability that significantly accelerates research, opportunity discovery and solution creation, enabling consulting teams to focus on strategic decision-making while reducing the time required to develop client-ready proposals.

Key Strategic Decisions
  • Designed the solution as a continuous innovation capability rather than a one-time research process.
  • Combined agentic AI with human strategic decision-making, ensuring AI generates evidence while consultants prioritize opportunities and define business direction.
  • Connected external market intelligence with internal organizational knowledge to generate more relevant and differentiated business opportunities.
  • Integrated rapid prototyping directly into the innovation workflow, reducing the time between insight and tangible solution.
  • Structured experimentation as a core capability, enabling every opportunity to evolve into a validated concept before client engagement.
