ORGANIZATION

At Cambridge Consultants, we take on projects across a wide spectrum of medical sectors with clients ranging from large multinationals to innovative start-ups, who trust us to solve their most critical, high-risk, and seemingly impossible challenges. These partnerships range from providing development services that help our clients take complex concepts to market, to providing advisory services to identify the right innovation strategy for highest value and return. Our unique value proposition is the ability to combine an understanding of users, creative lateral thinking, deep technical expertise and commercial insight to develop invention with impact.

DESIGN AT CAMBRIDGE CONSULTANTS

Our designers work within our Human Factors, Strategy and Design group. They play an integral role in taking a human-centered design approach that ensures we:

• Understand and validate the unmet needs we are solving for; and
• Create products and services that meet these needs and deliver value to end users, customers, and our clients.

Within our integrated product development teams, our designers are responsible for helping our clients understand what's possible and creating and implementing a design strategy to realize their vision.
