ABOUT
WHO WE ARE
On Strategy
Thoughtspin is a strategy and innovation advisory firm that is dedicated to helping leadership teams improve their performance by engaging to make targeted, measurable, improvements in the critical relationship-development competencies that enable durable, scalable enterprise growth and optimization.
No two Thoughtspin engagements are the same. Whether we are helping organizations evolve their static annual planning processes to a continuous approach of “strategy-as-process” or we are working with teams on highly-targeted consumer-centric competency transformation initiatives, we integrate our deep financial services leadership experience and broad FinTech exposure with highly practical innovation patterns & practices.
Our Approach
A Thoughtspin engagement leverages easy to grasp, practical tools of interaction that enables highly energized, productive, inclusive, and meaningful participation in shaping the future of your institution.
Working within your unique “set of givens”, our highly structured engagements leverage variations of proven facilitation methods.
Because of how interconnected everything is, we typically encourage a (sometimes much) wider-circle of leaders to be invited to join in the process. To facilitate a more diverse and inclusive group of stakeholders, we lead a highly-structured process of progressive agenda elaboration and operational and agile project planning that is designed to accommodate the wider set of perspectives. Diversity and inclusion directly leads to breakthrough performance outcomes.
What Differentiates Us
Thoughtspin is a firm dedicated to helping leading retail financial institutions reach their potential. We approach our work from a unique-in-our-field perspective. This means that we differentiate through our ‘complex responsive process’ view of organizations that regards strategy as practice and organizations not as systems but as widespread patterns of interaction between people.
Furthermore, not only does Thoughtspin deliver expert perspectives from the outside, we deliver through highly-participative, collaborative methods that honors the wisdom of the leaders we work with.

Thoughtspin is helping institutions navigate into a complex future.
Consumer expectations are rising. At every touchpoint. In every channel. In every market. At every stage of their relationship with your institution.
There is no one best way to meet these expectations. There is no “easy button”.
To earn (and defend) top of mind, top of wallet, top of device status with consumers is to craft a unique platform of engaged teams of great people in the right roles…leveraging an integrated constellation of software…and data…within a consumer-centric enterprise process architecture that drives mutually-valuable behavior.
