We are specialised in:
- Research-based Service design, Product design, Digital design and System design, from idea to implementation.
- Development of methods and tools for Co-creation and Innovation processes.
- Insight mapping, product and service evaluations (laboratory and field testing).
- Change management, and process management of innovation projects.
We work human-centred, interdisciplinary, and co-creative. This means that we actively involve people in the design process and regard them as experts. By placing people at the centre, and by actively involving them in the design process, we develop solutions to real needs. Having a thorough understanding of underlying needs, is essential for realizing valuable, sustainable, and profitable services and products. We commonly use methods such as prototyping, workshops, interviews, observations, and visualization.
We cooperate with a wide range of clients in various sectors and industries. In the public sector, we work with specialist health services, municipal health services and county municipal services. Furthermore, we have clients from the healthcare industry, various garment manufactures, and industrial players within offshore and renewables.
Previously, we have worked on projects such as:
- The development of a game-based screening tool and hearing services for children in low- and middle-income countries
- Protective clothing for people working in hazardous environments
- Solutions to prevent hypotermia
- Facilitating for children with hearing impairments at primary schools
