How we work
Innovation, Scale Up and Transformation
At Elemental Concept we are, above all, problem solvers and understand how to leverage technology to address the business problem at hand.
Aligning business and tech
We are business-led from end to end. We take the time to understand the fundamental problem before delivering a technical solution.
Our discovery process has been designed to identify and prioritise the core drivers of a business. We challenge our customers to validate their ideas before committing to the next stage of investment, to ensure they reap maximum value.
A modular gated approach
Many consultancies design their offerings around maximising the hours that they sell. This counteracts innovation.
Our gated approach, with continuous validation, ensures that we only build what is needed, be it a bootstrap POC or a full enterprise grade solution.
We encourage you to get your solution into the hands of test users as early as possible to ensure we design the best product for the target market.
Our partnership model
Our gated approach gives our clients the confidence to invest beyond the initial engagement leading to long-term partnerships.
Where possible, we structure our profits around our client’s success, creating long-term incentives through various reward structures, making our success and yours completely aligned.
Our partnership model extends beyond the customers to our staff. Employees are invited to become a shareholder of the company and share in our success.
Innovation
Taking something new and creative to market
Whether you are a multi-national or a startup, doing something new requires an approach that ensures money is only spent where needed.
We have created a process which identifies and prioritises the business drivers. We challenge our customers to ensure they validate their proposition before committing to the next stage of investment.
Validation may take the form of a prototype, PoC, investor / pitch deck or an explainer video. In all cases, Elemental Concept can provide the tools and support the validation process be-it facilitating user-testing workshops or supporting an investor pitch.
Workshops
We run deep dive scoping workshops to understand your customer’s problem, conceptualise and storyboard the solution.
Validation
We establish the smartest, cheapest way to validate the business model, from prototype, PoC, explainer videos and pitch decks.
Bootstrap Build
We build a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) to take the business to market quickly and economically to test and validate assumptions.
Further support
As your minimum viable product goes live, we continue to support you, from user testing to marketing collateral and further feature scoping.

Scale Up
Bootstrap build to validate your ideas
A bootstrap build is an economical way for a business to validate the need for a product or service and gain initial traction in the marketplace.
At some point, its success may require a change in technology stack to take the business to its next level.
At Elemental Concept, our technical experts have a due diligence process that identifies the vulnerabilities and bottlenecks in a customers technology stack that will prevent a business reaching its potential.
We then design a technology strategy that replaces the tech stack, either wholesale, or in a transitional, prioritised modular fashion to ensure the business can continue to grow without impact.
Technical Support
We question all areas so your tech support reflects your needs, from your ticketing system, IT-Ops and scalability.
System Evaluation
We evaluate your tech stack, from infrastructure and architecture to hosting, to ensure it’s secure, scalable and regulatory compliant.
Code Evaluation
We evaluate your code, from its quality and security, to ensuring you have the best frameworks for your needs.
Team Support
Your people need to understand the future roadmap and how to achieve it. We support teams from up-skilling to recruitment.
Transformation
Evolving how you do business
The recent pandemic has significantly increased the speed at which digital is changing businesses. Today nearly 90% of businesses recognise their business model will not be commercially viable within the next 12-24 months.1
Digital transformation is not just a buzz word. It is an essential journey many businesses need embark upon to stay relevant and to be able to conduct business at the pace that is now demanded of them.
At EC, we have a staged approach working with our customer to help understand where the business could get to using technology and then plotting a path to deliver changes across people, process and technology whilst always positively impacting the business.
Transformation Workshops
We run tailored workshops to understand how your organisation creates, delivers and captures value and how it can be enhanced using technology.
Due Diligence Services
We undertake an audit of your business readiness for your digital transformation, identifying the gaps and opportunities within your existing technology & associated systems and your current processes and operations.
Solution Engineering Workshops
Our expert technologists architect a solution that addresses all the key touch points of your business, enabling us to roll out change in a clean modular way, with minimum risk and impact.
Enterprise level software development
We proceed to build, working using Agile methodologies that enables us to build quality software, robust components and scalable features that will enable you to stay competitive.
