We build corporate innovation functions from the inside out
AlphaBase is an innovation in-housing partner. We help companies build or extend their internal innovation capabilities, eliminating the need for outside agencies by driving growth from inside your walls.
Our expertise is twofold. First, we work with people to identify and pursue the right approach to innovation in your business. Sometimes we create a team and operating model from scratch; other times we help an existing team add new tools and skills.
Second, we work with artificial intelligence to supercharge the performance of in-house teams. Our proprietary platform, ABOS, lets us quickly build complex AI processes to help our partners move faster and do more.
We know how hard it is to make in-house innovation successful. We take an extreme hands-on approach, working full-time in your company to help you create a new team or extend an existing one. We build, sweat, pivot and grow with you. Our end result is a rigorous, sustainable new capability powered by your own people.
Designed for business innovators, our proprietary platform (ABOS) lets users create and automate highly complex AI workflows—no coding needed. With ABOS, you can build any process you want, tap any or all the LLMs at once, and get dozens of custom AI agents working together to produce exactly what you need.
We help you figure out how your innovation capability should work. If you have a team already, we help you explore new and/or different things you could do.
We run projects with you during pilot phases, when we’re still assessing if a new approach makes sense. We can be a whole team or part of one.
We help embed innovation management practices in your company, ensuring you have alignment, involvement and oversight from the right people.
We help you develop new methodologies, toolkits and techniques to gain traction and make faster progress. We build custom frameworks for you.
We map skills needed and skills available for your unique innovation challenges. We help you plug any gaps you feel are missing.
We train your team to run new capabilities with confidence. We support them as shadow partners while they put their training into action.
Build completely custom processes with our drag-and-drop workflow builder, and deploy them at the push of a button. Run your steps behind the scenes, or make them interactive.
Got a 200-step process that needs 50 different AI agents to co-create a 40-page document? No problem. ABOS lets you achieve vast complexity without a line of code.
There's more out there than ChatGPT. Choose from any of the major LLMs for every step: mix and match across your flow, or get different models to compete or collaborate.
Design as many AI agents as you need and train each of them to perform their role perfectly. If in doubt, add AI 'supervisors' to keep them on track.
Integrate your company’s insights, real-time online content—even outputs from other workflows. ABOS can pull data from anywhere (but never shares yours, of course).
All workflows include end-user interfaces with shareable links, so you can create custom AI toolkits for other teams too.
We usually co-create our briefs with clients: they come to us because something about innovation in their company isn’t working, and quick fixes aren’t helping. Once we’ve agreed on a goal, it’s a question of hitting four milestones.
We help you win support to do something new, by running pilot projects with you that show what you could achieve.
We build your new capability together, trying things out and refining our approach until we’re happy with the results.
We work with you to embed your new capability in the business, ensuring it’s credible and impactful to the people you need to impress.
We help you recruit and/or train your team to own your capability. When you’re ready, we show ourselves out.
Building a new offer requires deep, day-to-day knowledge of your business. To us, it means setting our commitment level to "maximum."
We typically work full-time for one client at a time. As long as our engagement lasts, you’re our focus: all day, every day, we’re yours to command.
Every company is unique, and so is every project we do. We’ll never sell you generic answers—our work is complex, thorough, and completely bespoke.
We believe in delivering on our promises. With us, there’s no such thing as “out of scope”: we’ll do whatever’s needed to help you succeed.
We are full-time experimenters who like building things with and for real people. We strive to make a difference, but along the way we also make a lot of jokes.
Innovation insight and product design. Data scientist. Calm and soothing presence.
Innovation strategy and process design. Proposition builder. Crazy, but in a good way.
