Project strategy
We build projects that improve the lives of Coloradans, particularly projects aligned with the strategic plans of state and local government entities.
We create relationships that are based on a shared passion for improvement and growth.
Design tools
We bring a visual and participatory component to each one of our projects. This means we use Figma, Miro, Asana, Jira, and other industry-standard collaboration and design tools to communicate with our partners and stakeholders.
Case Studies
A State division with a four-month legislative deadline for a suite of new laws engaged Cornflower Labs and the Cornflower Modules product to deploy a custom form-based data collection, review, approval, and archiving pipeline. Cornflower delivered a fully-functioning production system within 2 months, including nice-to-have features in the initial launch. The result: Cornflower delivered the fastest and most complete client-facing data input, review, and processing system that the Division had experienced, and ensured agency compliance before a fast-approaching deadline.
In partnership with Cornflower Labs, an R1 research group was able to bring a bold vision for experimental research projects to life. Through close collaboration and an Agile project management methodology, Cornflower Labs delivered research tools both on mobile and web platforms that facilitated data collection, data access for relevant parties, and database design dovetailing with the team’s research priorities. In addition to the direct contributions to research projects, Cornflower’s management freed up the collaboration’s primary investigators to focus on their research projects, shifting their role from a manager and contributor to a Product Owner with a team at their disposal.
By engaging a custom version of an AWS-hosted platform, the Division realized significant process improvements, reducing manual errors to zero when updating permit assignments and freeing up staff to focus on higher-priority and higher-impact tasks. In addition, the Division was able to consolidate all of their permit data in a modern, cloud-based SQL database, moving to a shared, real-time permit management assignments system. One long-term effect of this integration was to enable up-to-date data analysis via SQL and visualization via Tableau. This helped Department decision-makers obtain direct insight into permitting assignment workflows, further reducing the need for Division staff to manually compile data and reports.
