Vertical is a collaborative
innovation company
We partner up with our clients to solve problems, find opportunities and shape business through holistic collaborative thinking.
We believe there is more to gain by working together, rather than doing it alone or starting from scratch. We have made it our mission to make our clients successful in innovating through collaboration.
In a nutshell, we help you connect, brainstorm, develop or launch with others. Whether it is a start-up, a corporate, another business unit of your organization or your end-users.
The cornerstone for our work are six service areas that together enable a successful collaboration
Our cornerstones come together into the Vertical Augmentor™ framework – our map for enabling success through collaboration.
Every company has different needs, and therefore our modus operandi is flexibility. This allows us to fully focus on the specific needs of every company we work and deliver optimal outcomes.
This approach has enabled us to successfully deliver outcomes ranging from small-scale need assessment work to multi-million joint ventures.
