PROBLEMS WE SOLVE

Complex problems, made visible.

We focus on complex challenges that benefit most from being made visible. WPS turns strategic decisions, cross-functional alignment, and organizational change into visual working environments where teams can see where they are, where they need to go, what stands in the way, and how to build a path forward together to create meaningful change and lasting action.

FORESIGHT

Build new ventures and value

Where new ventures and value come from. We help leadership teams map emerging markets, technology shifts, and new business models before they're forced to react, building the strategic clarity to act on what's next from inside the team that will execute it.

  • New market entry
  • Emerging technology positioning
  • New business model design
  • Corporate venture strategy

INTERVENTION

Solve what's stuck

When a decision has stalled, a strategy isn't landing, or cross-functional alignment has broken down, WPS turns the hard conversation into a structured working session that surfaces the real issues, generates options, and produces a path forward your team builds together.

  • Stalled strategic decisions
  • Failed initiatives needing reset
  • Cross-functional gridlock
  • Leadership and team disconnect

ALIGNMENT

Align your people

Big initiatives die when leadership isn't aligned and teams can't see how the pieces fit together. We design working sessions that surface the misalignments and rebuild the picture together, so everyone moves in the same direction.

  • Executive team alignment
  • Cross-functional alignment
  • Renewed product strategy
  • Clarifying executive vision

CAPABILITY

Build internal capability

Beyond one engagement, we embed the WPS method into how your teams work. Playbooks, training programs, and embedded coaching so the capability lives inside your organization long after we've stepped out of the room.

  • Internal innovation playbooks
  • Consulting skills training
  • Customer success programs
  • Agile transformation at scale

What Leaders Say about WPS

"Making thinking visible is how you prove you're making progress. That's the reason for WPS. Otherwise, knowledge work is just talking, and we all waste time."
Jim Hackett CEO, Ford Motor Company
"Our associates carry decades of insight, but most of it stays locked inside project work. WPS gave us a structured way to pull that thinking out into the open and help us articulate how we help customers solve their most complex problems."
Jan Kwak Managing Director, Hatch
"WPS is a complete operating system for collaboration. It gives every person in the room, regardless of role, a way to think, contribute, and decide together."
Martin Hack Global Head of Consulting, Nagarro

Wicked Problem Solving Case Studies

Autodesk

COURSE LICENSING & PLAYBOOKS

Autodesk

Custom playbooks for Autodesk's enterprise sales teams

Autodesk wanted to grow contract value with their most strategic customers. WPS partnered with the team to identify the highest-impact growth levers, then built a training program and enterprise playbooks covering data strategy, executive engagement, and project delivery to equip sales teams to act on them at scale.

CAPABILITY TECHNOLOGY
Walmart

WORKSHOP

Walmart

Storytelling, customer experience, and team engagement at Walmart

Walmart's leadership team saw storytelling as an underused lever for customer experience and frontline engagement, but needed shared clarity on how to put it to work at scale. WPS designed an immersive executive workshop with excursions and conversations with industry luminaries, building leadership alignment on storytelling as a strategic capability across the business.

WORKSHOP

Global pharmaceutical leader

Visualizing emerging tech across a global pharma business

A global pharmaceutical leader needed to understand how emerging technology could reshape every part of their business and where to prioritize investment. WPS mapped value creation with their leadership and financial teams, then built a panoramic visual "museum" the team could literally walk through, showing how technology shifts in drug creation, HCP engagement, risk management, human resources and more connected to enterprise-wide opportunity.

QUESTIONS

Common questions before we talk.

Where are you based, and do you travel?

We're headquartered in Toronto, Canada. We work with organizations globally, running engagements in-person, virtually, or hybrid depending on what the work needs.

What does an engagement typically cost?

Pricing varies based on scope, format, and team size. Every engagement is custom-quoted after a scoping conversation. We don't run free pilots, trials, or speculative work.

What's the typical engagement size or duration?

Workshops run from half-day to multi-day, with 8 to 50 participants. Course licensing scales from cohorts of 25 to enterprise rollouts of 1,000+. Custom programs and embedded capability work range from a few weeks to multiple quarters.

Do you sign NDAs and work with confidential material?

Yes. Every engagement starts with an NDA. We routinely work with confidential strategy, unreleased products, and sensitive organizational information.

Can workshops be virtual or in-person?

Both. Most senior leadership work happens in-person where the visual method has the most impact in the room. Capability programs and licensed courses scale well in virtual and hybrid formats.
