Process
Collaboration is the cornerstone to great process. Collaborative, refined processes guide the human element–people of skill and reach–bringing energy under the domain of shape and directionality. Process brings efficiency and effectiveness, ensuring that “work” is not something that just happens but instead accomplishes real vision and mission of the organization it grows. Through the time tested efforts of season and experience, processes are made mature giving them flexibility, adaptability, scalability, and reliability. Without quashing the creative and energetic effect of great people acting collaboratively but rather ensuring that organic potential has safe harbor to deliver timely and expected results. Done right, its poetic. In these organizations, its the stuff of greatness that magazines write about and seminars try to teach. Literally, behind every great product or service is a great process quietly and unassumingly guiding everyone right along.
BigBadCollab is such an organization. We rely on time tested and true process to effectively deliver results as expected, on time and on budget for our clients and companies we partner with.

Pre-Planning
Strategic consulting
It all starts with a great idea—yours. Its a vision for something more, a game changer. Typically, you have had internal meetings, passed around the email flurry of ideas, snippets, and possibilities. This formulative time is the essence of the beginning. This is where we are typically approached. As cultivators, we are part of the early work to document, collaborate strategy through research, guiding thought and crafting directionality with leadership, consulting on process and planning for a formal discovery phase.
