Our Work For Amazon’s Sustainability Accelerator: The Art of Active Mentorship
Working with Growth Studio on the Breathable Cities accelerator was a great experience. The Growth Studio team were flexible to our needs, had a “can-do” attitude and created a positive and collaborative environment whilst working to the highest of standards. The programme delivered amazing impact thanks to the way they led the work and brought others along the journey to a common goal. Highly recommended!
The Growth Studio Team have been an absolute pleasure to work with throughout our recent project. Paul and Camilla have really been an extension of our team in our time working together, rolling up their sleeves and helping us when working at breakneck speed. They have been visionary, strategic and results led, helping us to get to a place which is stretchy yet achievable. No request has been too much – they have made a real effort to understand the business and all of its’ complexities – meeting with multiple stakeholders, learning about the inner workings and fully integrating themselves within the function. We have got to a great place as an output of the work – with a clear vision and goals and critical paths for us to work from.
Growth Studio are more than just a partner, from day one they immersed themselves in our business and how we operate. They support us on more than just the programme, providing guidance on vision and strategy and opening up their network to ensure we are prepped to deliver. The team continuously challenge us to grow and ensure our programme evolves to be bigger and better each year. We couldn’t do it without them!
Growth Studio achieved more in 3 months than the 22 CityVerve partners did in 2 years.
FAQs About Growth Studio Innovation Consultancy
What is innovation consultancy, and how can it benefit my organisation?
Innovation consultancy helps organisations like yours develop actionable strategies to innovate effectively. Our consultants identify growth opportunities, create tailored plans, and support you in implementing them to foster an innovation-centric culture.
Do you only work with startup-led innovations.
No. Although we do specialise in helping large complex organisations innovate through startup collaboration, we’ll make sure we help you with your specific challenges.
What type of corporate innovations have you worked on?
We have worked on a multitude of innovation strategies; from creating innovation manifestos for GN Hearing and Ramboll, to helping retailers like Boots and Tesco work more efficiently. We have created and implemented corporate-sponsored startup accelerator programmes for Cisco, and helped Amazon more effectively work with new product companies. Get in touch and see how we can help you.
Why should I use Growth Studio as my Innovation Consultancy?
Simple. We make it easy for you to get tangible results. All of our consultants are experienced in solving complex challenges, come with a tailored strategy that has been developed for your business (no copy-and-paste innovation strategies here). As a Growth Studio client you’ll also get access to our network of corporates, startups and ecosystem experts that can help you and your organisation; we’ll always introduce you to others where there is a shared mutual value.
How can startup partnerships enhance sustainability?
Startups are often at the forefront of sustainable innovation. By partnering with these companies, your organisation can implement cutting-edge, eco-friendly solutions that advance both commercial and environmental objectives.
Do you help public and not-for-profit organisations innovate?
Yes. We have helped a multitude of public organisations, from the Latvian Government to the NHS, from Guys & St. Thomas Trust to Innovate UK on innovation strategies.
Do you specialise in innovating certain sectors?
We don’t have specific sectors we focus on, as we have found that any large organisation has similar challenges and needs. However, we have implemented innovation strategies in, and have extensive experience in retail, pharmacy, transport, government, architectural engineering, finance, construction and many more. The sectors we stay away from are those that damage people and the environment such as alcohol, tobacco.
Can you tell me more about your hackathons?
Sure. At Growth Studio we do hackathons a little differently. Our hackathons still bring together startups and corporates to co-create impactful, innovative solutions in a fast-paced, collaborative environment, but we also use them as a mechanism to introduce you to the wider ecosystem of potential partners, generate PR, and think about how we can create long term value from the events, rather than short term theatre.

Most probably. Just get in touch and lets have a chat.
