When markets shift faster than organisations do, growth goes flat. Parallax Lab uncovers the inherited assumptions driving decisions and turns them into evidence‑based strategy for relevance and growth.

PARALLAX LAB

Parallax Lab helps organisations distinguish between who they think their customers are and who they actually are today. It traces where inherited assumptions are embedded in products, processes and messaging, and turns that into a clear, evidence‑based roadmap for growth.

LEGACY LAG

Legacy Lag is the gap between who organisations assume their customers are and who those customers actually are today. Through diagnostic audits and targeted strategy work, I help uncover where inherited assumptions shape decisions and turn that insight into commercial strategy.


Who this is for

  • CMOs and Heads of Brand at large consumer organisations facing flat growth or “off” work.

  • Heads of Insight and Customer Strategy who suspect their models no longer match what’s happening in the real world.

  • CEOs and founders who can feel a gap between how their organisation thinks about customers and how those customers behave today.

What Legacy Lag offers: Legacy Lag is a diagnostic methodology that traces where inherited assumptions are embedded in products, processes and narratives, and links that misalignment directly to commercial and reputational risk.
