Cultivate were engaged to provide Lean UX Support at the early stages of our Digital Transformation. They worked closely with us to understand the organisation’s technologies and processes. As an organisation with records going back hundreds of years, our systems are complex. To clarify their understanding Cultivate discussed but also sketched. We quickly realised that the sketches conveyed complex ideas, processes and systems in an easy to understand manner. We asked Cultivate to research, map out and visualise many areas of the business. These visual maps then were used to present to the executive team and to set the scene for kicking-off individual projects. Tom Meade - Digital Director (CIO), Registers of Scotland

Cultivate's combination of technical knowledge, industry experience and business knowledge was invaluable to us. You are not just dealing with a group of developers but with a group of people who have delivered a large number of projects in the real world. Cultivate provided clarity on our product direction and an understanding of what was possible and deliverable. This has proved to be invaluable in executing our projects and delivering value to our customers. Chris Greening - CTO, MRM Brand

I've worked with the folks at Cultivate first hand. While they excel at agile product development, where they really shine is in striving to continually understand changing client and customer needs and incorporating those learnings, in real time, into their work. This results not only in products built and designed well but also ones that demonstrably impact their clients' businesses. Jeff Gothelf - Author, Lean UX

Cultivate are by far the most responsive, hard-working and collaborative agency we have worked with. They’ve made an effort to truly understand our technical needs, as well as our mission as an organisation. Working with Cultivate feels like an extension of our own team, and they are generous in sharing their knowledge and experience. They have a great mix of complimentary skills from product management to design, and the tools they have built for us are designed with future use in mind. I can't recommend Cultivate enough.

Cultivate helped us to distill our unique requirements down, and define was needed to deliver a replacement system in 6 weeks. The new system is highly focused, simpler to use than it's predecessor and delivers all the functionality we required. Cultivate delivered exactly what was needed, on time and within budget. They spent the time with us early in the project to completely understand what was required, then worked closely with us to build the solution.

I very much felt like a Client when working with them and that being so, I found that the team always kept a close eye on the user needs, asking questions, challenging everything that didn't make sense until the value and rationale was abundantly clear. The organisation as a whole are very uncomfortable creating anything that doesn't deliver value and I commend that attitude.

Where most consultancies expect specs to be thrown over the fence, the Cultivate engineers truly became part of our team. The collaboration with Cultivate was instrumental in building a culture of remote collaboration which we expanded across our whole engineering team. They integrated to our practices while also rubbing off on our engineers. The project was a success, and we came out with a better team then when we started! Julien Letissier - CTO, Housetrip

Working with Cultivate played a key role in the early stages our product development journey. They helped bridge the gap between business and technology, working with us to build consensus around our unique business environment before jumping into feature delivery. This was hugely valuable in helping us to focus and prioritise our development efforts. I would highly recommend the services provided by Cultivate. Nick Jones - Non-Exec Director, Aquila Insight

Cultivate really helped us to kick-start our project by establishing a way of working and the technology platform from which we could independently drive our developments. Along the way we have benefited from their continued support and to this day we still refer to them for guidance in both user and technology product developments.

Cultivate were originally brought in not only to provide outsourced development support but work very closely with the in-house development team so much so that they could be considered an in-house team themselves. It is the team's collaborative and friendly culture that allowed them to achieve this with ease. Alastair Williamson-Pound - Senior Product Manager, The Money Advice Service
