 Locus Research is a design company that provides an integrated product development service. We can guide a company from initial research through design, development, testing and production, the through to product branding and market launch. This is achieved using four key foundations:

  1. Applied Research
  2. Transparent and Evidential Process
  3. Established Commitment to Sustainability
  4. Originality

Underscoring this is the belief that knowledge and accountability do not inhibit creativity.

Applied Research

Simply put, research builds understanding and delivers insight. The common approach taken by Locus to all projects, problems and opportunities is to build this understanding and deliver insight for all clients. The word applied refers to the fact that our 'research' is always used in a real world application. It is not undertaken to generate conference papers.

Transparent and Evidential Process

Making decisions about your company's products and services will affect your business in a direct way that few other decisions can. These decisions require an authentic voice, an analytical objective assessment, and clear communication to all your key stakeholders. Having information alone does not make decisions, but careful investigation can often yield important issues and opportunities early in the process to improve the accuracy of your product development.

Established Commitment to Sustainability

Sustainability is a ubiquitous term that is hard to define.
That matters most to your organisation is action and implementation. Our pioneering use of life cycle thinking in product development addresses this need. From the application of simple tools & approaches and quantitative assessment tools, through to supply chain, product stewardship, eco-labelling and compliance. Experience and a life cycle design focus ensure that we can create clarity for your products and services.

Originality

Our team brings a life time of creative pursuit to their work; this is reflected in all facets of what we do, from sketching ideas through to production.
