Why We’re Different – What Makes Newry Unique
Innovation decision-making is full of trade-offs. Which is more important: speed or rigor? Efficiency or certainty? Agility or accuracy?
Methods of the moment (Lean, Agile, etc.) would have us believe that moving more quickly is always the answer, but the reality is that innovators need to make choices both faster and better. Newry partners closely with internal teams to work quickly, go deep, and drive to action. We optimize for speed and rigor across every step of the innovation process to deliver fit-for-purpose insight.
Detail-Oriented:
“Newry was fantastic! They are incredibly knowledgeable, sought the right answers to all the tough questions, and did a great job of decomposing the opportunities for us.”
Partnership Orientation:
“I’ve done marketing before and am skeptical of what passes for it in some businesses and found Newry to be of the highest caliber. They were a real partner to us!”
Focus on Execution:
“We were able to find some really fascinating opportunities that we had never considered before. More importantly, the process isn’t academic — it is focused on execution.”
Clever and Curious:
“Newry is able to think differently. They’re smart but pragmatic — [they have this kind of] cleverness and curiosity.”
Strong Technical Aptitude:
“Big firms aren’t as good as Newry at highly technical opportunities. I’ve never seen anybody provide analysis like this.”
