We believe internal teams and leaders are the key levers for Innovation Performance

We help our clients to generate step-changes in innovation value and performance by partnering with their leaders and team members alike to deliver innovation outcomes from the inside.

Founded in 2018, Studio Zao is guided by the belief that one of the biggest innovation drivers for large organisations are their teams and leaders. Or Intrapreneurs, as we call them.

We are a team of innovation strategists, product experts, designers and trainers focused on partnering with organisations to master continuous, Agile and Lean experimentation.

Our approach consists in combining the People factor with Practice and impactful outcomes, and delivering programmes distributed across Strategic Alignment, Experimentation, Launching Pilots, Innovation Upskilling and Governance.

What our clients say

Studio Zao took us through a strategic and immersive venture building process. It was insightful to see how the teams’ propositions transformed through customer engagement and validation, with three propositions going forward into pilots and a number of entrepreneurial talents recognised in the business.

“Working with Studio Zao was a real pleasure. Not only do they bring diverse and innovative strategic thinking but they also truly partnered with us, sharing insights and taking on feedback to co create a great output. They also understand the importance of talent together with innovation.”

Studio Zao worked with us all the way through a complex journey involving academia, large and small business, running two successful workshops and hacks. This has given us a highly engaged network to back our bid for further UK Innovate funding.

“We hosted the most awesome global webinar with Studio Zao on “The Power of Intrapreneurship and Innovation” and it was an exciting journey of an intrapreneur, with practical tools and ideas, inspiring stories and an amazing passion for innovation.”
