It all began back in 2015 when a company called Station Five was launched. Its mission was to provide a process for catalyzing innovation by enabling technology adoption. Within two years, it became one of Australia’s fastest growing technology businesses. The primary focus for the fulfillment of its mission was to establish alignment between operations and technology teams within larger institutions.
This led to Station Five’s growth across its local and offshore offices and within four years of inception, its clients included Qantas, Ernst & Young, Bupa, Blackmores, Breville, IAG, ANZ Bank, AMP Capital, and both State and Federal Governments in Australia.
Then COVID-19 came, and many industries were forced to transform in order to survive. For many larger institutions, this consequently led to halting innovation efforts, which required Station Five to evaluate its service offering.
With the guidance of a strong advisory panel and mentorship from industry veterans, Station Five halted its pursuit of institutional innovation and reinvented itself to launch a new offering that would enable startups to develop technology solutions using a Silicon Valley inspired agile methodology.
This transition reduced its team size drastically but reinvigorated the remaining team members in focusing on its original mission and this new business model and methodology.
