Practical Projects
Two videos of us getting down to business. We built a Tactical Film Room for US Marines and put wearables on Cirque du Soleil acrobats
Tactical Film Room
We helped the US Marine Corps pilot a tactical film room concept with learnings from Los Angeles Rams and USC Trojans football.
Acrobatic Wearables
We put wearables on Cirque du Soleil performers with FC Barcelona and Wimu.
Innovation Work
Innovation Design is our craft. We use a custom approach in sport and entertainment because it is a dynamic and complex environment where standard turnkey models fail. We only work with a select number of clients, we work in relative silence, and we create opportunities to interact with one another in both formal and informal settings.
DESIGN & OPERATIONS

INNOVATION LAB
INNOVATION STRATEGY
THE CHALLENGE
Help WWE explore new technologies and models to enhance an already super-charged innovation culture.
What we did
We conducted extensive research into the world of existing labs and models. We embedded deeply with the WWE team to uncover the organizations super strengths and opportunities. We then proposed a series of concepts that would begin to lock in a long-term pilot approach to introducing new ideas to a dynamic environment.
the result
WWE selected an innovation concept, staffed it, and we continue to act as pilot managers to introduce new companies and concepts to WWE leadership.

SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT
Software Development
THE CHALLENGE
P3 is a sports science testing center. They asked us to scale their process beyond their physical facility.
What we did
We developed and implemented back-end warehousing and automated reporting solution. Developed machine learning algorithms for report enhancement. Codified the P3 sport science process through data.
the result
Led vendor selection and implementation. Created cloud-based data processing and reporting algorithms. Manage ongoing data research projects.
THE CHALLENGE
Chelsea FC needed two things: (1) to understand how good they were at developing talent in their academy, and (2) a tool to scale their country scouts ability to aggregate and report information on which players to focus recruitment.
What we did
We analyzed over 15 years worth of scouting data provided by Chelsea FC, and cross-referenced this data with open source data sets we built. We then organized this database so we could run analytics off it based on new questions from their staff. We then analyzed all of the current software and tools used by Chelsea scouts and built a series of tools and reports that fit on top of the system they had already created.
the result
We became Chelsea FC’s external Data R&D Team - helping augment their resources as needed to enhance capability and build analytical tools:
“Chelsea Headlines Scouting Report”
“Chelsea Academy Development Analysis”
Ongoing Data R&D Consultants
SCOUTING ANALYTICS
Automation and Insights
