Introduction

Seal on the Beach is a London-based research and development company rethinking how digital technologies are designed and used in strategic decision-making. We are a team of researchers, creative technologists, and designers aiming to simplify the complexities of future-thinking technologies and methodologies. Our mission is to make strategic problem-solving more creative and cost-effective, helping managers embrace flexibility and innovation without being confined to a single future-thinking approach or toolset. We do so by offering the following services:

– Research and Development Support
Our team has a proud history of securing competitive European and UK research funding and delivering experimental interdisciplinary projects. We collaborate with artists, UX designers, and cognitive psychologists to design technologies that challenge traditional strategic planning concepts. Whether you are seeking funding or academic collaboration, we provide expertise in proposal development and can contribute as partners in delivering work packages.

– Bespoke Storytelling and Decision-Support Systems Design and Development
Our in-house design and development team specializes in storytelling with spatial data; this includes designing tools for participatory planning, interactive educational experiences, decision-support systems, and game design. We are particularly interested in translating new experimental planning models into design specifications of platforms.

– Strategic Problem-Solving Consultation
Choosing the appropriate future-thinking approach, simulation, foresight, participatory design, or creative methodologies, and tools can be challenging and resource-intensive. Although we are not part of any public sector procurement frameworks, our theoretical and technical expertise equips us to guide your strategic problem-solving process and recommend solutions tailored to your needs.
