Founded in 2014, Connected was established with the aim to help ambitious companies build impactful software-powered products. Today, Connected (now Thoughtworks Canada) has over 250 employees based primarily in Toronto, Canada and covering a broad spectrum of technologies across the entire software product development lifecycle. Our team of engineers, human-centered designers and product strategists have applied its product-thinking approach to discover and create product experiences at over 50 global organizations where they have quickly built a reputation as a go-to-leader in “0 to 1” new product development services, including discovery, delivery and education and enablement.
Product Thinking is our unified approach to product development, an innovation and execution approach that combines the technical excellence of agile delivery, the focus of human-centered design, and the rigor of management consulting to enable cross-disciplinary teams to build the right things right.
Our principles not only guide how we work and who we hire but also who we work with. Meshing seamlessly with our client partners is critical to long-term product impact, so it’s important to share a set of fundamentals as we navigate the complex, nuanced craft of product development. A true Product Thinker embraces, celebrates, and champions our principles with like-minded people to achieve long-term product impact.
Impact is the result of a million small decisions made wisely. We prize informed and considered judgment before all else.
Progress only happens when we listen carefully and speak conscientiously. Intelligence without kindness leads nowhere.
Knowing someone’s there to catch the ball makes you more willing to throw it. Reliability makes work go faster, smoother, and smarter.
Knowledge transfer is the name of the game. Teaching and learning ensure that you, the team, and the product are continuously getting better.

Discovery serves to derisk, validate, and accelerate new product development. By viewing customer jobs, pains, and gains through the lens of product, we are able to identify opportunities in both new and existing categories, before testing concepts through prototyping.
02
Delivery allows us to partner with our clients to build and release high-quality products to market, as well as optimize and scale existing products. Because software products are never finished.

Education & Enablement is designed to embed product DNA into our clients’ organizations, educate them on Product Thinking best practices, and empower the creation of their own long-term systems of success through workshops, product clinics, and training sessions.
