About Us
Tenshi is an innovation consultancy with significant experience in open innovation practices, innovation process management platforms and early stage design.
As an innovation consultancy, we understand how to help organisations to become curious, to be inspired, and to better articulate the innovation challenges they face. Partnering with us creates meaningful, useful and original solutions. We stimulate innovativeness within our clients’ teams and staff, embedding design thinking and creating strategic, commercial, long term value.
Tenshi means Angel in Japanese, and was formed after recognising the need to accelerate innovation in SME’s, by the UK Government. We’ve delivered Innovate UK’s ‘IC tomorrow’ programme over the past 5 years and have successfully written and led other innovation consortia. In early 2016 a MBO led to a broadening of our offering.
Our Values
We will consistently deliver unique, tailored solutions to stimulate innovation within your organisation.
We deliver successful innovation solutions with limited resources by identifying and using the strengths of your organisation whilst finding collaboration opportunities which will benefit both parties.
Impactful innovation means stepping outside your comfort zone, we will help you to choose an innovation journey to deliver maximum value and grow beyond what was thought possible.
