Design Thinking & Jobs Theory
The creation of successful products or services today require a deep understanding of the user experience (UX). We help you understand Innovation and UX frameworks such as Design Thinking and Jobs Theory and use them in your development processes. We use the experience gained in our own projects and with collaboration with Academia. Check out our articles and media on this topic.

Lean Startup, MVP and Market Validation
Want to create a minimum viable product (MVP) that allows you to test key aspects of your products (ICT or industrial) and services while minimizing your upfront costs? We help you implement such a market validation strategy and combine it with a DevOps approach to maximize operational efficiency. Check out our articles about the lean approach.
