At Tangerine Lab we apply human-centered design (HCD), systems thinking, and futures thinking to tackle a diverse range of complex challenges faced by organizations, individuals, and communities worldwide.

Strategy, Design, Implementation

Our mission is to support and guide our clients in strategizing, designing, and implementing solutions that adapt to the evolving needs of the communities they serve. Committed to delivering sustainable, high-impact results, we create comprehensive solution roadmaps. These roadmaps help clients prioritize investments of time, money, and human resources—from quick wins to transformative strategies and disruptive innovations.

Holistic Solutions With Integrated Enablers

Our solutions are holistic, integrating a range of enablers such as people, processes, policies, data assets, and technology components. Our roadmaps are flexible, adapting to the evolving goals and resources of our clients. We empower our clients with a rapid, cost-effective, and agile methodology, fostering long-term success and sustainability through a "think big, start small, learn mindfully, and scale fast" approach.

Evidence Based Approach With Measurable Impacts

We employ an evidence-based approach to strategy development that guides, enables, validates, and measures the effectiveness of our strategies.

Capacity Building

Our differentiating ethos is founded on the belief that human-centricity, design thinking, systems thinking, and futures thinking are learnable and adoptable behaviors that enhance how we work and solve problems collectively, at every organizational level and with the communities we serve. In our engagements, we empower our clients by capacitating them in our methods, tools, and frameworks, empowering them to continue applying these approaches to address their most complex challenges long after their partnership with Tangerine Lab concludes.

Decades Of Global, Multi-Sectoral Experience

At Tangerine Lab, we bring over 30 years of global leadership and consultancy experience across startups and established small and large organizations.

We help our corporate clients navigate complex challenges by establishing innovation labs from ground up, developing customer experience strategies, service design and go-to-market strategies for new products, implementing digital and automation strategies using emerging technologies in user-centered and ethical ways, and fostering human-centered cultures that prioritize client needs and objectives.
