⊕ OUR SERVICES AND STRATEGIES

  • UX (User Experience) design aims to improve how people interact with products, systems, or services. It involves researching users' needs and behaviors to create intuitive, effective, and enjoyable interfaces. UX design includes user research, information architecture, interaction design, usability testing, and visual design to ensure products are user-centered and functional.

  • Experience-based design prioritizes user experience and emotional engagement by addressing users' needs and desires. It blends psychology, aesthetics, and functionality to create memorable interactions that boost satisfaction and loyalty, driving brand success and customer retention.

  • Design experiences that align with your mission and move people.

    Human-Centered Business Design means more than just aesthetics—it’s about designing programs, systems, and experiences that reflect how people think, feel, and behave. We help organizations turn insight into strategy, aligning every touchpoint with your business objectives to drive sustainable growth.

    Whether you're a new development, evolving your brand, or adapting your culture, our work is rooted in neuroscience, behavioral psychology, and the Experience Economy. The result? Environments and experiences that elevate Return on Investment (ROI), Return on Creativity (ROC), and Return on Experience (ROX).

    We don't just make things look good—we help them work better for the people you serve.

  • Brand positioning defines a business's unique marketplace by differentiating it from competitors through an evaluation of its value and benefits. It involves market research and may guide rebranding to align with new goals or market changes.

  • Environmental branding designs physical spaces to reflect a brand’s identity and values. It creates cohesive, immersive environments using signage, interior design, and color schemes to reinforce brand recognition and enhance the experience for customers and employees.

  • Sensory branding engages consumers' senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell—to create a memorable emotional connection with a brand. It enhances recognition, evokes emotions, and builds a distinctive identity through strategic sensory stimuli.

  • Evidence-based art placement strategically selects and displays artworks based on research to positively impact well-being, mood, and stress levels in environments like healthcare facilities and offices. It considers factors like color, content, style, and location to enhance the experience of occupants.

  • Biophilic design connects people with nature by incorporating natural elements like light, greenery, and organic materials into spaces, enhancing well-being, productivity, and a sense of connection to the natural world.

  • Biomimicry design draws inspiration from nature to solve human challenges, promoting sustainable practices that benefit both the environment and a company's reputation.

  • AI integration services are customized to fit the specific needs of each business by facilitating, sourcing and coordinating appropriate platforms. They can help businesses harness the power of data and create a symbiotic relationship between AI and humans.

INNOVATE

  • Appreciative Inquiry (AI) is a collaborative and strengths-based approach to organizational change and development. It focuses on identifying and amplifying the positive aspects of an organization, rather than solely addressing problems.

  • Lead change with clarity, culture, and confidence.

    Change is inevitable. But unmanaged change leads to disengagement, inefficiency, and loss of trust. Q7 partners with leadership teams to navigate transitions that impact people, systems, and culture—whether it’s restructuring, scaling, onboarding new leadership, or evolving your brand.

    Our approach blends human-centered design with neuroscience and proven models like Bridges’ Transition Model, Appreciative Inquiry, and differentiated learning styles. We help organizations build a roadmap that honors where they've been, defines where they’re going, and supports everyone in getting there.

    You don’t just survive change—you grow through it, with your people aligned and your strategy on track.

  • Transitional management helps businesses navigate significant change smoothly and effectively. It ensures stability and growth by addressing the psychological impacts of change and involves clear communication about the need for the transition.

  • Marketing strategies are comprehensive plans developed by businesses or organizations to achieve specific marketing objectives and goals. These strategies encompass various activities and approaches aimed at promoting products, services, or brands to target audiences effectively. 

  • Strategic planning is a process where an organization defines its long-term goals, analyzes its current position, and develops a comprehensive plan outlining the actions and strategies needed to achieve those goals, taking into account internal capabilities and external market factors to navigate opportunities and threats.

  • A company's vision defines its direction, the mission outlines how to achieve it, and the purpose explains why it matters. Aligning goals with the vision keeps teams focused and fosters a unified company culture.

  • The organizational life cycle (OLC) models a business's stages from inception to termination, likening its phases to those of living organisms.

  • Work environment cultures reflect an organization's values, beliefs, and practices. A positive culture boosts employee engagement, satisfaction, and retention, fostering collaboration, innovation, and high performance. Leadership defines and reinforces culture through communication, policies, and rewards.

TRANSFORM

  • Customer experience management (CEM) optimizes every customer interaction with a brand to ensure a seamless and memorable journey. By analyzing feedback and touchpoints, CEM aims to meet customer needs, enhance satisfaction, and foster loyalty, driving long-term business growth through consistent, positive experiences.

  • Consumer journey mapping visualizes the entire customer experience with a brand, from initial contact to post-purchase. It details touchpoints, identifies pain points and delights, and helps businesses understand customer behaviors and needs to optimize the journey for better engagement and loyalty.

  • Understand your audience. Align with their values. Grow with purpose.

    Customers, clients, patients, tenants—whatever you call them, they’re not just metrics. They’re people with unique behaviors, motivations, and expectations. Q7 uses psychographic segmentation, behavior mapping, and neuroscience to help companies build meaningful, measurable engagement strategies.

    We identify the friction points and the opportunity moments, then create intentional experiences that connect your brand to the real lives of the people you serve. Whether you're in real estate, healthcare, hospitality, or another service-driven industry, our strategies drive loyalty, satisfaction, and better outcomes.

    This isn’t guesswork—it’s growth guided by data, psychology, and purpose.

  • A psychographic profile analyzes a target audience's psychological traits—values, attitudes, interests, and lifestyles. Unlike demographics, it focuses on motivations and behaviors, helping marketers create personalized strategies that resonate and build brand loyalty.

  • Storytelling brings a company's vision and mission to life, aligning teams, attracting support, and inspiring action, making core values meaningful and engaging for stakeholders.

  • Neuromarketing provides insights into the subconscious and emotional responses of consumers to better define marketing messages.

  • Human-Centered Marketing prioritizes the customer in every decision, fostering deeper connections, loyalty, and sustainable growth by addressing their unique needs.

  • Ethnography Research is a qualitative method for collecting data often used in the social and behavioral sciences. Data are collected through observations and interviews, which are then used to draw conclusions about how societies and individuals function.

  • An omnichannel customer experience (CX) is a multichannel—brick-and-mortar, desktop, mobile, etc. —approach to marketing, sales and customer service that creates an integrated and seamless customer experience. It ensures cohesion across such functions as communication, distribution and promotion.
