OUR 3 STEP APPROACH

We aim to enhance the user experience by working with our clients to create usable solutions. Our approach has 3 measures – diagnostic, preventative and proactive.

Diagnostic Measure

Identify vulnerabilities and discover user preferences to create user profiles together with solutions that fit those profiles.

Preventative Measure

Implement preferred solutions and identify vulnerabilities in the solutions.

Proactive Measure

Rollout into the real-world and provide internal and external hands-on experience, collect user feedback and evaluate solutions in practice.

OUR SERVICES

We help organisations identify vulnerabilities in the relationship between their technology and their users.

Diagnostic Measure

Research
Through our research into people and technology, we work with organisations and communities to address and resolve challenges they face by helping them to harness the power of technology, make use of their resources and thrive in a modern digital society.
Technology Laboratory
Our Technology Laboratory is designed to provide unique opportunities for our clients and students to gain practical experiences – through use-case scenarios – to discover how technology solutions may impact their organisation and communities.

Preventative Measure

Training & Education
We organise events aimed at developing digital skills and competencies especially to show the participants how to use technology independently and creatively.
Workshops
Our workshops include practice and discussion aimed at increasing our understanding of technology and an awareness of how it can change our lives.

Proactive Measure

Strategic Consulting
We provide tailored strategic consulting to organisations and communities, by putting people at the forefront. We work together with our clients to discover how technology can empower their people and introduce meaningful changes to their environment.

OUR CASE STUDIES

All the case study themes are based on the research projects we have carried out that were funded by EU and UK research programmes, contracts with industrial, educational and public sector organisations.

Here we present issues, sometimes very complex, with the main aim to inform and motivate discussion. All the scientific results were published in international journals.
