Creative Solutions to Personal and Organisational Development
We are creative thinkers and problem solvers. We work closely with our clients to develop new ideas and ‘out-of-box’ solutions to often longstanding and difficult issues.
Whether your team needs to become behaviourally competent, your partners/supply chain needs to work together more effectively or you need to engage individuals in challenging topics, we are keen to help.
Pixel Fountain solutions are built on sound research and years of being at the cutting edge of learning design – we developed our first learning game and portal in 1998.
Since then, we have continued to use our creative (out-of-the-box) thinking to develop genuinely innovative solutions to enable individuals & organisations to change and improve.

Evaluation of our programmes highlight improvements in three areas, which translate into improved interactions and decision making:
- Strategic Thinking – Understanding the key driver and needs. Does a particular decision help us get closer to our goal?
- Joined-up Thinking – Understanding cause and effect provides perspective, reduces waste, and increases win-wins.
- Collaborative Working – Working with stakeholder groups and partners improves decision-making by allowing organisations to benefit from the ‘wisdom of the crowd’.

The solution will be developed as a series of designs and prototypes. Much like the sprints in Scrum/Agile development these designs and prototypes will emerge from a series of questions/challenges:
- What do users need?
- What interactivity can be created?
- Which areas of the subject matter should be tackled?
- How can usability be ensured?
- What will the interface look like?
