Most of the time they cause more confusion than clarity, and half the people using them couldn't tell you what they actually stand for. But there is one I'm happy to stand behind. At Sketch, our process comes down to three letters: GSD.   We are a small team. That means we have to outperform and outpace our competition, including engineering teams with far greater headcount and resource. Working harder isn't the answer. Working smarter is. Staying at the...]]></description><link>https://www.sketch-ltd.com/post/gsd-how-a-small-team-outpaces-the-competition</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5a2ac50ff39938e1ceb01f</guid><pubDate>Sat, 20 Jun 2026 23:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d36707_36687a0a5bf24a48b454a311aa28f864~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Oliver Diebel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[One Model. One Truth. Zero Interpretation.]]></title><description><![CDATA[The Model Is Becoming the Document There's a familiar kind of problem in engineering. The 3D model says one thing. The drawing says something slightly different. Someone has to decide which one to trust — and whatever they choose, someone else will question it later. Onshape's latest update introduces integrated Model Based Definition (MBD), and it's a direct response to that problem. What MBD Actually Means Since 3D CAD became standard, engineering teams have effectively been maintaining two...]]></description><link>https://www.sketch-ltd.com/post/one-model-one-truth-zero-interpretation</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5a2907bc7847d5de0b6e7d</guid><pubDate>Tue, 24 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d36707_4ce6851fe85a449fa27f5d69e12da680~mv2.png/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Luke Davis</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[From Momentum to Full Gallop]]></title><description><![CDATA[In our last blog, we shared a roundup of 2025 and reflected on how it became a defining year for Sketch Design Consultancy. It was a year where momentum built steadily — relationships deepened, the team grew, and the business found a clearer sense of who we are and how we work. If the end of 2025 was about building momentum, then the start of 2026 has felt like a horse breaking into a gallop. A Fast and Focused Start January began with an immediate priority: a working prototype with a very...]]></description><link>https://www.sketch-ltd.com/post/from-momentum-to-full-gallop</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5a24e4ddb26a9ae7254c79</guid><pubDate>Sun, 01 Feb 2026 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d36707_c79f1d1a3ce44f83b5b531bea57145dd~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Oliver Diebel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[2025: The Year We Learnt How Momentum Is Built]]></title><description><![CDATA[Some years announce themselves loudly. Others unfold more quietly, only revealing their importance once you pause and look back. For us at Sketch Design Consultancy, 2025 was very much the latter. It didn’t begin with big strategic shifts or bold declarations. It began steadily, almost unremarkably, and that turned out to be part of the lesson. A Familiar Starting Point As the year opened, we were doing what we knew well. We were working with our key clients, progressing projects that had...]]></description><link>https://www.sketch-ltd.com/post/2025-the-year-we-learnt-how-momentum-is-built</link><guid isPermaLink="false">6a5a23dbcb28250fe83d6e3b</guid><pubDate>Tue, 30 Dec 2025 00:00:00 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/d36707_b424ff924e094267a47fd2868a538da1~mv2.webp/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Oliver Diebel</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Customers who delay supplier engagement.]]></title><description><![CDATA["Valley floors to open doors - it's two way ya know. " Collaboration is key. We have all heard it. But how many companies ACTUALLY DO IT. Let's go back a step, and set the scene before the new age of AI. I grew up in the South Wales Valleys, hilly, rugged and towards the end of the valley, a large amount of manufacturing still lingered. Old school machinists, fabricators and the forge masters site.

We’ve taken on two new contracts — both with completely different requirements — hired a new mechanical engineer, bought new equipment, started looking into office space, and had a crash course in writing policies and getting systems in place for a bigger team. Exciting? Absolutely. Stressful? Without a doubt. Coffee consumption? Let’s just say the local shop might need to increase their stock levels.
