A bit about us, and how we're different Digital Disruptions is a boutique US-based strategy and design innovation consulting firm focusing on fintech and digital financial services (DFS) in emerging markets. Since our founding in 2014, we've been re-thinking – and re-doing – the way fintech consulting work is done. (Read more about our unique traits). Our mission is to apply and adapt best-in-class innovation tools, methods, and mindsets to the fintech sector, and work diligently yet swiftly from research and design to build and launch phases. We take a start-up style approach that fuses analytical and creative thinking and use our proprietary frameworks and workflows we have developed in-house. The result is tangible progress for our clients – and meaningful impact for the people and communities they serve. We've been trusted by top-tier clients in both the private sector (Amazon Web Services, Vodafone M-Pesa, Mastercard, Ecobank, BRAC Microfinance, VC-backed start-ups) and public domain (e.g., World Bank, IFC, International Monetary Fund, United Nations, World Economic Forum). (See our clients' testimonials on 20+ case studies on our website's Work section.) Our work is guided by 5 core values: Integrity: doing the right thing – even when no one is looking; Quality: serving as experts in our craft and taking pride in delivering high-quality work; User-Centricity: keeping the client and the end-user at the center of our engagements; Bias to Action and Urgency: taking decisive action rather than overanalyzing scenarios; Solution-Oriented Mindset: looking for optimal solutions, while being aware – rather than dwelling on – risks, unknowns, and obstacles.
