Intercorp’s success in boosting the middle class in Peru depended on the thoughtful design of many artifacts. These carefully designed interventions have made the social transformation of Peru a real possibility rather than an idealistic aspiration.
Here is an example of an organisation that did something very quickly. They built this lab in under a year, that is now having a dramatic effect across one of the biggest companies in South America - Tim Brown
The Lab's ventures range from mindset-changing initiatives, such as curating Peru's largest innovation festival, to deeply transformative endeavours targeted at reinventing the core value propositions of Intercorp's insurance, drugstores, and medical services. It envisions massive cross-organizational transformation.
