North Star Concept

Every successful product starts with a clear sense of direction. We help teams define their North Star, the shared vision that aligns strategy, design and engineering around a single, unifying purpose.

Why North Star

Follow your North Star

At Kyan, we help you articulate the guiding idea that drives your product forward — your North Star. It‘s the anchor that connects your business goals to user needs, giving your teams the clarity and confidence to make better decisions and deliver products that matter.

Experience vision

We work with you to define the story behind your product, what it is, why it exists, and the difference it makes. This becomes the strategic foundation that informs design and engineering.

Strategy workshops

Bringing together stakeholders to uncover priorities, clarify goals and align teams around a shared sense of purpose.

Core proposition & value definition

We help you identify the heart of your product; the core value it delivers to users and the promise that sets it apart in the market.

Vision-to-roadmap framework

We create a practical framework that shapes your roadmap, aligns decisions, and keeps your teams focused on what truly matters.

01

Discover and define

We start by understanding your business, your users and your ambitions, uncovering the insights that shape a clear, inspiring vision.
