Ludic’s SmartLab is revolutionizing and disrupting the traditional consultancy model by addressing its inherent inefficiencies and introducing a technology-driven, networked approach. By rethinking how consulting services are delivered, SmartLab offers a more agile, cost-effective, and impactful alternative to legacy models. Here’s how it transforms the industry—
Traditional consulting models have long been based on deploying large teams of consultants, with costs tied to daily rates and the number of people assigned to a program. This approach often leads to bloated budgets and inefficiencies. SmartLab disrupts this paradigm by enabling a networked consulting model, where experts are brought in on an as-needed basis. This ensures clients have access to the right expertise at the right time, minimizing overheads while maximizing efficiency and agility.
It has been proven that the most effective change happens from within an organization, yet people change remains one of the most challenging aspects of transformation. SmartLab places collaboration at the core of its approach, leveraging tools and methodologies that foster engagement and ownership. With a proven 90% engagement rate, SmartLab ensures that transformation initiatives are not only embraced by teams but also sustained over time, making it far more impactful than traditional top-down consulting approaches.
One of the biggest challenges in large-scale programs is that people often get lost in the complexity of processes and overwhelmed by the proliferation of data. SmartLab addresses this issue with powerful way-finding tools and visualizations that help teams understand exactly where they are in the process. These tools provide clarity, focus, and alignment, empowering teams to navigate challenges effectively and keep sight of their goals.
At the heart of traditional consulting lies what many perceive as “black magic”—the ability to design processes for change. SmartLab demystifies this by offering state-of-the-art workflows and expert content modules that enable organizations to rapidly implement workshops, templates, and solutions. These tools are designed to address networks, technology, working practices, and strategic outcomes, ensuring quick results that are practical and based on the latest methodologies for driving change.
SmartLab integrates AI-powered tools, such as its AI Production Agent, to streamline complex workflows like event logistics and decision-making processes. This automation reduces reliance on manual effort, enabling faster execution while minimizing errors. By contrast, traditional consulting often relies on labor-intensive processes that can be slow and costly.
Unlike traditional consultancies that often deliver theoretical strategies or static recommendations, SmartLab emphasizes proactive and adaptive solutions. Its tools allow for real-time adjustments to workflows and decision-making processes, ensuring that strategies are not only actionable but also adaptable to changing circumstances.
7. Enhanced Engagement Through Technology
SmartLab incorporates immersive technologies such as decision-making apps and gamified learning platforms to drive stakeholder engagement. These tools foster collaboration and enhance understanding among teams, moving beyond the typical “deck of slides” approach common in legacy consultancy models.
By combining implementation, just in time expertise, state of the art change models, collaboration tools, ease of use and visualisation SmartLab shifts the consulting model to a subscription model that puts the people at the heart of change in the driving seat. It is the new way for changing your organisation – no matter how large – and rapidly implementing your strategic decisions in a rapidly changing world.
In summary, Ludic’s SmartLab redefines consulting by combining on-demand expertise, collaborative engagement, data clarity, AI-driven efficiency, and rapid implementation tools. It challenges the traditional consultancy model by focusing on outcomes rather than inputs—delivering measurable results while reducing costs and time-to-value. By empowering organizations to own their transformation journey through innovative tools and methods, SmartLab sets a new standard for efficiency, scalability, and impact in the consultancy industry.
