Research, rethink, and refine.

The business previously operated under the name “Create-Learning,” which was unclear to prospective business partners and did not support SEO and digital marketing efforts. Based on our competitive research and interviews with Mike’s clients, we changed the name of the business, creating a more competitive positioning for his marketing. The new name also emphasizes that this is Organization Development according to Mike. You’re buying his personality and expertise, not something repurposed from a book.

SOLVED Cards: A Solution-Focused Coaching Process

Mike is many things. A coach. A consultant. An entrepreneur. And now with the launch of SOLVED Cards, he is also a product developer. Through his work with individuals and organizations, Mike realized the need and opportunity to provide problem-solving tools that extend beyond in-person sessions.

The product in action.

Guided by Mike’s expertise in the coaching process, we developed the tangible materials for learning by an individual, in pairs for peer-to-peer training, and in group settings for team building.

A deck of SOLVED Cards includes 24 individual prompts to take you through various scenarios you’ll encounter in the workplace, which follow along with each stage of the S-O-L-V-E-D acronym. The package also includes a comprehensive instruction manual, “Contact Mike” cards, and blank cards for note-taking. The design and aesthetic follow his brand’s vibrant color palette and great attention was given to sourcing the highest quality card stock and packaging.

E-commerce as a strategy.

A product isn’t a product unless you can buy it online, right? We agreed – so that’s exactly what we did. Now, through the e-commerce platform our development team built on MikeCardus.com, Mike can market and distribute his SOLVED Cards and other products across the globe.
