<big>The Surge Team works in short sprints and deep dives to improve the quality of products. Our work is iterative and collaborative, learning from failures and successes. We think carefully, quickly, and constantly. We ask questions throughout a project analysing thoroughly, consulting, collaborating, refining, and iterating. Our projects are often non-linear, redefining problem statements and generating more research as we go, but we work quickly and iteratively changing course as needed. We use regular touchpoints to build off your expertise and to respond to your needs.</big>
