Humanising business

of the future

We are a gathering of innovation geeks, original thinkers and passionate practitioners.

We turn human understanding into new business opportunities.

Why are we here?

Our aspiration

We believe that the solutions of the future can’t always build on past experience. We must be open to new thinking and what emerges in the world. It takes courage and willpower to break free from just recreating to what already exists, and instead, create the solutions of the future. This is our dream.

WhAT’S YOUR NAME AGAIN?

Our name

We are in the business of exploration. Always seeking deeper meaning and new opportunities. We do this by asking questions. Even our name is a question. And we do it by experimenting. Getting closer to the unknown. It wasn’t a bird. Nor a plane. But something completely new to the world. Something fantastic. What are you seeking? 

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?

Our mindset

We are not your regular management consultants. We refuse to be. Our clients tell us we are different to anyone they ever worked with, and we consider that as a strength. Who would trust an innovation consultant that wasn’t quirky? We insist on being open and curious to the world with no standardised models for solutions.

How did we get here?

Our story

IS IT A BIRD was founded the summer of 2011 by Line Groes based on a dream of creating positive, long-lasting changes for businesses and organisations. And with a simple vision: To become the leading human centered innovation agency in the world, where highly intelligent and creative people thrive and leave their mark on the world. 

A different approach to user-centric innovation

At IS IT A BIRD our point of departure is always a deep understanding of humans. We identify patterns in needs, behaviour and aspirations among real humans. Not just what they think of your product, service or brand (because often they don’t care), but understanding what makes their lives meaningful. We believe that this is the best starting point for innovation and serves as our guideline when we develop strategy, products and services. 



We work exploratively and iteratively from early insight to tangible concept. Visual tools and prototypes ensure that the solutions works both for potential users and the client while developing the final solution. This interdisciplinary approach enables us to achieve agile solutions for a world in constant change.
