Welcome to Devise Consulting

We're your partner for successful product invention.

We deliver meaning with every engagement.

Research

Delivering good product outcomes always begins with understanding your user’s goals. We rapidly determine which features will delight your customers and make them loyal to your product.

Invention

Lizz helped establish the field of Interaction Design. We’re masters at defining successful digital products and services — no matter what kind of scale you’re operating at.

Teamwork

We pride ourselves on building trust with our clients and helping to improve your team’s processes and culture. We love to teach what we know, and leave you better equipped to succeed.

Proven partner

Since 2007, Devise Consulting has partnered with clients from the Fortune 1 (yes, really!) to cutting-edge AI-led startups. Our customized engagements help businesses at every stage achieve their digital product development goals.

We have especially deep expertise in the health-tech domain, including regulated medical devices.

Meet our founder

Lizz Bacon founded Devise Consulting to provide research and design services to companies in need. While Devise has scaled up to support larger engagements over the years, Lizz always keeps both hands on the wheel and is personally involved in every engagement (unlike many other design & product management consultancies).

Today, Lizz is an absurdly seasoned consultant and product leader. She’s brewing big plans for Devise, including authoring a book to support teams doing the hard work of creating solutions. Lizz also enjoys public speaking, and has taught workshops and presented at events such as WebVisions, CHIFOO, global Interaction conferences, and private corporate events.

We Offer Powerful Services

Leveraging over 25 years of hands-on design and product management experience, Devise offers a range of services to help your product & team reach their full potential.

User Research

We conduct expert, qualitative field research to identify the problems your customers need solved. Because people are always more than simply “users,” we must understand their goals and contexts of use to create durable and coherent solutions. With data-driven insights in hand, you can prioritize building the highest-value features and rapidly deliver the outcomes your business needs.

Product Definition and Roadmapping

Based on a deep understanding of your users and business goals, we devise a solid, scalable interaction framework for your digital product or service. Given the pace of change today, you likely have to leverage AI technology, but you must differentiate yourself with a truly meaningful solution. We understand how to craft a scalable roadmap for success now and in the future.

Team Happiness

Product development is very much a team sport. Ultimately, how your team functions determines whether you’ll be a flash-in-the-pan or deliver solutions with enduring market value. We bring skills in empathy and emotional intelligence along with a deep bag of process tools to help elevate your product management and software development teams. Don’t neglect the power of cohesion when it comes to team happiness.

Good news:
you don’t have to know any industry jargon to get fantastic results from us!
