MojoSpark
Turn a fuzzy problem into a clear way forward.
MojoSpark is a focused problem-solving workshop that helps you get the right people in the room, understand what’s really getting in the way, explore what’s possible and agree on the smartest next step.
You don’t need a brief, a specification or even a solution in mind.
Bring us the problem.
Talk to Mojo
You know something isn’t working. You just don’t know what the answer is yet.
Maybe a process is frustrating everyone.
An ageing system is holding the organisation back.
You know AI or automation could help, but you’re not sure where it would actually create value.
Different teams have different ideas about what the problem even is.
Or you’ve been talking about the same issue for months without getting to a decision.
That’s exactly where MojoSpark starts.
You don’t need to know what technology you need. In fact, we’d rather you didn’t start there. MojoSpark helps you step back from platforms, products and preconceived solutions and get clear on the business problem first.
MojoSpark could be right for you if…
You’re saying things like:
“
We know this process isn’t working, but we don’t know how to fix it.
“
Our current system isn’t keeping up anymore.
“
We want to use AI, but we don’t know where it makes sense.
“
Our stakeholders can’t agree on the problem or the priority.
MojoSpark gives you a structured way to move from “something needs to change” to “this is what we should do next.”
What happens in a MojoSpark?
MojoSpark leverages design-thinking concepts and industry insights to guide decision makers through a series of targeted activities to uncover priorities, explore possibilities, build buy-in, and develop a clear and personalised call to action – all within a half day workshop.
We bring together the people who understand the problem with Mojo specialists who know how to unpack it.
The objective isn’t to arrive with a solution and sell it to you. It’s to understand what’s happening, challenge assumptions and identify the most valuable path forward.
01
Understand
Get the problem out of people’s heads and onto the table. We explore what’s happening today, who it affects, where the friction is and what the organisation is actually trying to achieve.
02
Unpack
Look beyond the obvious symptoms. What appears to be a technology problem might actually be a process problem. A data issue might really be about governance.
03
Explore
Bring together different possibilities across process, people, data and technology — Microsoft platforms, AI, automation, application modernisation, process redesign, or something much simpler.
04
Prioritise
Work out which opportunities are worth pursuing and which ones aren’t.
05
Move forward
Leave with a clearer view of the problem, the opportunities and the practical next steps.
The goal is clarity — not a predetermined technology sale.
A sample MojoSpark journey
Every MojoSpark is tailored to the problem in front of us, but the questions we work through together on the day often look something like this.
1.
Why are we here?
Who are we? What is our purpose? What is our vision?

Why Mojo Soup?
Because the hardest problems are difficult to see clearly when you’re inside them. Your people know your organisation better than we ever will. But that can also make it hard to step outside the day-to-day constraints, assumptions and history surrounding a problem.
MojoSpark combines your organisational knowledge with an independent team that has solved similar problems before.
For more than 17 years, Mojo Soup has helped government and private organisations solve real business problems across health, infrastructure, education and other complex environments. Chances are, we’ve seen something close to the problem you’re dealing with — including the messy realities around budget, legacy technology, competing stakeholders and delivery deadlines.
We bring more than facilitation.
An independent perspective
We can challenge assumptions, ask the awkward questions and help teams separate the underlying problem from the solution people have already become attached to.
Business and transformation expertise
We look at processes, users, operating models and organisational change — not just the technology.
Technical expertise at the table
Our people work across Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Data & AI and custom application development, so we can quickly distinguish between what sounds good and what is realistically achievable.
Experience across the whole delivery journey
We know what happens after the workshop. That means we can identify ideas that are likely to become unnecessarily expensive, difficult to adopt or impossible to support before you invest in them.
Pattern recognition from solving real problems
You don’t have to learn every lesson for the first time. We bring approaches, ideas and patterns from problems we’ve already encountered elsewhere.
We are a Microsoft Solutions Partner for Business Applications, recognised for our expertise in Dynamics 365 and Power Platform
Why not just workshop it internally?
You absolutely can.
MojoSpark is most valuable when the problem has become stuck, politically difficult, technically uncertain or hard to define.
An internal workshop can surface what everybody already knows. Mojo brings people who haven’t lived inside the problem, who can challenge the assumptions underneath it and who understand the business, design and technology implications of the options being discussed.
That means the workshop isn’t just about generating ideas. It’s about getting to better decisions, faster.
Start small before you commit big.
Not every problem needs a lengthy discovery engagement. MojoSpark gives you a focused way to create enough clarity to decide what happens next.
That next step might be:
Fixing or simplifying an existing process
Progressing into a larger discovery
Adopting an existing solution from MojoKit
Validating an idea through MojoProof
Building something bespoke through Mojility
Deciding that the opportunity isn’t worth pursuing
That last outcome matters too.
A good Spark doesn’t create work for the sake of it.
It helps you make the smartest decision.
It helps you make the smartest decision.
From problem to proof
If MojoSpark uncovers an idea that looks promising but still needs testing, MojoProof can be the next step.
MojoSpark helps answer
What should we do?
MojoProof helps answer
Is this idea worth building?
They work naturally together, but neither depends on the other.
Got a problem you can’t quite get your arms around?
You don’t need to know the answer before you talk to us. Tell us what’s not working, what you’re trying to achieve or what opportunity you think might be there.
Bring us the problem. We’ll help you work out the smartest way forward.
