« I met Yves at a UX meeting in Geneva, where he and his colleague had organized a workshop to gather information on one of their projects. The workshop was very well organized and the group collaboration was easy and enjoyable: many interesting discussions came out of it and the dynamics were very positive. I also had the chance to collaborate with Yves on some brainstorming activities for the user experience where we experienced the discovery of the different labs to define potential frictions. Yves is very knowledgeable about innovation, new trends and the technology that supports digital transformation, and the conversations and collaborations with him are always very inspiring. »

Smart
When you list the many options for making a place “smarter”, there is no shortage of possibilities. To help you find your way around, we propose a simple and effective decision support model that allows you to distinguish the necessary, the useful from the useless gadget.
The “classic” methods are no longer adapted to the current economic landscape (start-ups, ultra-digitalization, uberization). Our methodological approach is novel and has been designed to meet new needs, those of the VUCA industry, and by extension all sectors facing uncertainty. It is based on tailor-made support and on the expertise of the latest technologies (Blockchain, BIM, GIS, real-time 3D).
After our intervention, you know that you have made the right trade-offs.
