How We Began
Our Story

Created in 2021, Form Strategy and Design is the latest business creation by Lisa Taylor – an established designer, innovator, and executive advisor with over 20 years of experience working with clients in both the public and private sectors.

The goal was to create a small firm that could bring her unique skill sets together and provide tailored services to clients with a human centred, design-thinking, and systems-based approach.

It’s been 3 years and Form is going strong. With new offices in Liberty Village, Toronto, and a network of experts to draw upon, we are growing and expanding into new areas.

We can help organizations to better understand their internal and external challenges and opportunities; clarify their vision and mission; identify a path forward for the short and long term; and communicate that direction to their stakeholders.

We can use our experience in visual design and communications to create dynamic materials and tell a compelling story, distill complex concepts and information into messages that resonate; build brands, and ultimately move an organization towards their strategic goals.

We can also help industries and organizations build resiliency and better prepare for the unknown, by both understanding the trends of the present and the possible plausible futures ahead through strategic foresight.

Key Elements

What Makes Us Stand Out?

In addition to our 4 service areas, there are three main aspects that underpin our work:

Design Thinking

This is at the core of what we do. and it is about using creative solutions-based approaches to problem solving.  The methodologies of design thinking are collaborative, iterative, and non-linear, and enable us to reframe the problem in a more human-centric way.  Using these tools we are better able to:

  • Tackle complex problems
  • Gain a deep understanding of the client/stakeholder and their needs
  • Push past preconceptions and challenge assumptions
  • Blend intuition with analytics and rationale, and
  • Build on diverse perspectives

 


 

Systems Theory

Systems Thinking is linked to design thinking, and it is key in understanding our clients business, and the context within which they operate. Understanding what systems are at play both internally and externally, and how those systems connect and interact is essential to determining both strategy and actions, now and in the future.

 


 

A Passion for Social and Environmental Change

At Form, we believe that everything we do should help advance our clients to their strategic goals, and where possible also have an eye on improving social and/or environmental well-being. 

Whether it’s building a new business model, streamlining a line of business, or creating a new strategic plan and vision, applying this lens is important to ensure the most successful outcome for our clients.
