To our community
For 25 years, we’ve worked to create impact by supporting organizations through change – products, systems, teams and cultures. This work is immensely rewarding and has led us to focus on public service, higher education, and triple-bottom line corporations. We have always believed that organizations can thrive and grow through change and today, I’m excited to share some news of our own change.
Since 1998, we’ve built a team of deeply experienced, impact-focused designers, technologists, strategists, and relationship builders. We’ve scaled both the size of our team and the range of organizations and geographies that we support. In many ways, our journey can be best shown through the taglines and mission statements that have driven our work.
For a long time, we rallied under the theme of Humanize The Web. For Domain7, this was a decided mission to bring a focus of user experience-first to the digital realm. We’ve come to believe that building products, systems and cultures that centre on valuing people is key to resilient organizations, businesses and communities. We haven’t been perfect at this ourselves, and yet through trial and error, we have continued to be confident in the power of human centred mindsets, tools, products and systems.
In more recent years, we evolved our mission into a broader statement:
Change is in the Making.
This statement became a guiding star for our decisions, both internally and externally. The way that each of us have grown into our work, our client relationships, and our own development has been to grow through doing. Building “with” rather than just “for” others. At the end of the day, we are people being changed through the journey of working together towards a shared purpose. In all our work, we seek to have an impact and support positive change while always knowing that the process is also changing us. In every project, we strive for mantra and push for capability building, adoption, and digital transformation as the cornerstones of every digital and strategic engagement.
Now, in 2022, we’ve taken our biggest step into our commitment–we’re teaming up with Versett. A global digital transformation agency, Versett is a team of strategic designers, technical specialists, and change architects committed to creating meaningful impact through the organizations and companies we work with. Our merger with Versett means that for every Domain7 client, we’re bringing a larger team with more breadth, and an even deeper set of playbooks to continue to deliver impactful work.
Moving forward, we will be Versett. Domain7 has fully integrated with Versett, and in doing so, each discipline team and skillset has effectively doubled in size. We will continue to offer the same workshops, services, and events that you’ve come to know us by, and will now bring additional design, strategy, product development, architecture, and consulting strengths into the mix.
The beautiful thing about change is in the making is that it’s a guide, not a goal. Every digital property, every team, and every mission is a dynamic, evolving series of changes, and we’re excited to be a part of this one.
