D6 announces launch: Providing a people-first approach to digital innovation

[D6], the consultancy accelerating digital innovation with project management and user experience expertise, today officially launches in Australia.

[D6] was founded to support organisations adopt digital transformation, through enabling teams to change behaviour by improving the user experience and implementing effective change management practices. The new digital innovation consultancy offers six in-demand services, including project delivery management, business analysis, organisational change and adoption, experience design, product management, and information architecture.

With a presence in Victoria and New South Wales, [D6]’s all-female leadership team comprises Joanne Spencer and Lisa Applegarth, who are stepping up to lead Melbourne and Sydney operations, respectively. Prior to joining D6, both Joanne and Lisa were Business Consultants at technology consultancy, Cevo.

As the digital focus of customers continues to accelerate, digital innovation is imperative to transform traditional, slow evolving organisations into agile, tech-enabled businesses. With experienced project management and delivery services, and experience design capabilities, [D6] was born to disrupt the status quo. Our design process, for instance, goes beyond just visual design. Instead, it uncovers insights about our customers’ organisation, the enabling technology and end-users. That information is then elevated to simplify, humanise and build products to deliver real value to end-users, known as a people-first approach to digital innovation. Our vision is to help our customers achieve their digital potential in a modern, tech-enabled world.

[D6] is paving the way for a new approach to digital innovation in Australia, underpinned by the well-established delivery processes of the company’s two technical sister businesses, Cevo and Arinco. Its unique approach to implementation focuses on the six human-centred pillars of digital transformation: user experience, people, change, innovation, leadership and culture.

Today, digital transformation and innovation is as much about people as it is about technology. It’s important that businesses not only keep up with the ever changing needs of their customers, but recognise the importance of change management within the organisation itself. We are on a mission to make a tangible difference by empowering and uplifting the teams we work with, and by partnering with our customers to help them raise the bar within their own organisation.

Spencer and Applegarth have set out to make a difference in Australia’s IT industry through leading by example and providing a diverse and inclusive environment for employees, while growing the Melbourne and Sydney operations.

Our future is our people. Collectively we are our greatest strength and our most valued asset. We are committed to attracting, developing and retaining a diverse group of talented individuals who provide experienced project and design capabilities to drive an empathic, people-first approach to digital Innovation.
