Health & Wellbeing

Healthcare systems across Aotearoa face unprecedented challenges.With an ageing healthcare workforce, geographic barriers to access, and increasing inequities in health outcomes - particularly for Māori and Pacific communities - the need for digital transformation has never been more urgent.

As explored in our article on How might we live up to our Digital Nations Commitment, we're turning these challenges into opportunities through human-centred digital innovation.

Navigating health's digital challenges


Today's retail landscape demands more than just an online presence—it requires intelligent, connected experiences that bridge physical and digital touchpoints while delivering measurable business value.

Enterprise retailers face mounting pressure to compete with digital natives while meeting increasingly sophisticated customer expectations.

Our track record speaks for itself:

  • Fragmented Customer Journeys
    Customers interact across multiple channels and expect consistent, personalised experiences regardless of where they engage with your brand.
  • Legacy System Integration
    Established retailers struggle to connect existing infrastructure with innovative customer-facing solutions without disrupting operations.
  • Loyalty Programme Effectiveness
    Traditional points-based programmes no longer drive meaningful engagement, requiring more sophisticated approaches to customer retention.
  • Data Utilisation Challenges
    Many retailers collect vast amounts of customer data but lack the capability to transform it into actionable insights that drive business growth.

These challenges require more than off-the-shelf solutions—they demand strategic innovation that aligns with your business goals while delivering measurable outcomes.
