Let's create an approach that turns ideas into outcomes

By 2033, global GDP grows 7%¹, which is equivalent to USD 7 trillion, driven by generative AI’s impact on businesses and society. Half of that growth comes from productivity savings and the other half comes from increased consumer demand resulting from AI‑enabled product enhancements. 

However, in a world where 70% of digital transformation efforts fail², enterprises must ensure that they are getting real value from AI rather than ceding ground to competitors.

What we do

IBM Garage® helps de-risk transformation while quickly scaling impact through its collaborative, value-obsessed engagement model. IBM Garage aligns work to your biggest drivers of value and transparently tracks that value as it’s realized in each stage of a program. It then scales the new ways of working by bringing together the best of enterprise design thinking, agile development and DevSecOps practices, accelerated by generative AI tools from IBM and partners.

Our method

IBM Garage integrates technologies, methods and practices, and human expertise to identify, track and realize business value at each stage of enterprise change, rapidly turning ideas into measurable, meaningful outcomes.

A diverse team of subject matter experts works intensively with design thinking and research methods to reveal the true nature of the client’s opportunity.

A solution development cycle uses Agile and DevOps practices to quickly launch and test an MVP. It also capitalizes on IBM’s business and technology expertise—including hybrid cloud and AI—and the entirety of IBM’s product and services portfolio.

Harden and scale the robust solution—and the new culture of innovation—across the enterprise.

IBM Garage Experience (IGX)

What if you could see and track the value of your most important initiatives from their creation through building and deploying them? What if you had the transparency to understand, down to the new feature, which efforts were contributing the most return? Wonder no more. Welcome to the IBM Garage Experience.

IBM Garage Experience is a program governance platform that helps you prioritize, align and transparently track your most critical initiatives and understand their value. It’s a digital companion guiding and showing the IBM Garage value orchestration process, so you can:
