How we work

The QLab InnovationSprint

In the QLab, visionary minds deal with our client's specific challenges. We develop user-oriented and sustainable ideas for new business models, services, or processes based on trends, technologies, and market requirements. 

💡By the way: You can find the results of our previous projects in our Case Studies.

At the first meeting, we get to know our team members and discuss our customers' challenges. A good briefing ensures a good start.

We get to know our customers. They will share their expertise and vision with us.

With our weekly meetings, we keep the team up to date.
  • What has happened so far?
  • What will happen in the next week?
  • Where do we need the support of our client?
  • Do we meet our clients' needs?
  • Do we need to iterate?
 
At the end of the process, we will present ideas for solving our client's challenge and a roadmap for how to move forward and how we can support their implementation process.

The agile mindset

We follow these important steps of agile work:

In phase 1 of agile project management, it's called "explore".

Explore

We provide an overview of the status quo, trends, technologies, and markets regarding the challenge our client tackles.

In phase 2 of agile project management, the name of the game is "design

Design

We open the door to possible solution spaces and develop tangible ideas to solve our client's problems.

In phase 3 of agile project management it is called "Evaluate

Evaluate

We check prototypically whether our solution approaches are desired, and economically, sustainably and technically feasible. Based on this, we develop a roadmap for the further procedure for you.

Phase 4 of agile project management is all about the "Implementation"

Implement

Our experience shows that the organization needs decision-makers to drive the process forward. We are happy to support our client in this process as well.
