Challenging thinking,
Reimagining the Future, Creating the next

Welcome to

Alternative Thinking

Sometimes the old ways work best, but when it comes to innovation, you need to think outside the box. Future-proofing your innovation isn’t linear, so alternative thinking is required.

We create human-powered answers to solve society’s problems, from transport to tech, and policing to products.

A window into our world

We’ve worked with some of the best and brightest innovators the world has to offer – but we want more.

It has been great to work with Alt Labs on developing a solution that best meets the needs of people in Cleveland. Their approach started with the problems we were trying to solve – namely widening the options for people to communicate with me and Cleveland Police – and working on what features we needed to solve them. As the project matured and developed, they kept us up-to-date with their progress and worked efficiently to meet our deadlines. We now have a product to be proud of and which I’m having national conversations about replicating.
