In an increasingly fluid and fuzzy world, the challenge for companies and organizations is to look at the market with open and flexible perspectives. New approaches and tools are needed to understand reality, design responses and tools, and finally communicate them. This is why it is necessary to work collaboratively, opening up to other experiences and skills in order to step outside the “comfort zone” of one’s own discipline.
Open to understanding and designing
We organize Labs and co-design paths to support change and innovation processes in companies and organizations.
Open innovation, professional mixité and transdisciplinarity are what we seek to help companies and organizations discover new paths.
Tailor-made design
Each initiative is developed “ad hoc”, taking into account the specific needs of the context. Before the initiative, we carry out preparatory work with the client and commit to developing and producing all the materials and supports used by participants. At the end of the project, we prepare documentation and analysis materials for the lab.
- preliminary research
- interviews with opinion leaders
- identification of key people and participants
- search for spaces and equipment
- design of analog and digital tools.
- printing and production of support materials
- documentation and analysis report
Engaging to make things happen
We are convinced that people have a great deal to offer during labs. We develop techniques and tools that allow everyone to make an essential contribution to the success of the project.
This is why, during the work sessions, we engage people with analog materials and supports that allow everyone to interact and exchange ideas.
Co-Design
We build participatory design paths to let people experience projects firsthand and help them redesign or imagine new trajectories and ways of developing activities and services.
Mash-ups of solutions, process digitalization and new forms of collaboration to enable our clients to better face everyday challenges.
University paths
We have organized and led multi-day Lab paths at the University of Milano-Bicocca and the University of Milan. The initiatives involved more than 300 students overall, from different universities, faculties and degree programs, enabling the development of transversal skills and exchange with peers from other backgrounds.
Participants in the paths at the University of Milano-Bicocca (2016 and 2018) were awarded an Open Badge certifying the acquisition of transversal skills.
Students who attended the labs at the University of Milan (2019 - 2020) received recognition of 3 university credits as well as a certificate of participation.
