01 / TheOven

Augmented ideas

We are a small team of designers, writers, marketers, technologists and business thinkers.

We cook up ideas and help companies in digital with technology, vision and judgement. TheOven is not a slide factory. It is a working room for prototypes, digital products and systems that need taste, speed and technical depth in the same place.

02 / What we do

Business Context Data Complexity Automation at Scale

What is still unsolved

Companies that integrate multiple data sources significantly outperform other companies in sales, profits and margin.

After 20 years working with all kinds of clients on data and automation, we are convinced there is no silver bullet. Every client has its own context, tech stack, needs and priorities. That is why we solve this with a Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) methodology.

The Forward Deployed Engineer (FDE) methodology

  1. Sits with the client to understand their context

  2. Working solutions in 2–3 weeks

  3. Skin in the game, and stays with clients for the long term

  4. Takes responsibility for the output

  5. Leaves knowledge the client can apply

03 / Why FDE

Why this methodology, today

Four things we are sure of.

  1. Context is the scarce part

    You understand it by sitting next to the client, not from a list of requirements.

  2. Value in weeks, not months

    Something that works on real data, fast.

  3. What repeats becomes a product

    The FDE solves it; the product scales it.

  4. The brake isn't technology, it's access

    To people and to data.
