In a new client project, we are revising the essential inspection software of a large German technical inspection company. First, we interview experts, research future trends, and leverage customer insights and design ideas to document the status quo and foreseeable design options. We conduct an ethnographic field study to understand user preferences, action strategies and working methods of different users types as the basis for a user-centered redesign. With the help of co-creation, prototyping and an interactive exhibition for key stakeholders, we create new concepts for various end devices. We are looking forward to the new cooperation!

We delivered an international ethnography with European Jobseekers. Our client is determined to change the careers industry with new online services. We had the chance to closely collaborate with one of their most outstanding teams exploring the job seeking journey in two European countries. Field interviews with 24 job seekers, profile writing, pattern recognition delivered strategic insights how to approach the new markets. We synthesized several relevant issues such as self-management and building up momentum, trading-off ideals against immediate benefits, projecting a big picture strategy and learning to apply different media, and need for tactical support (writing CVs, cover letters and improving interview skills). We are looking forward to continue our cooperation in the new year.

Within a new project, we help a new client of ours to understand jobseekers' challenges and views across the whole application process (from looking for potential employers, to creating a CV and cover letter, to interviewing) in different European countries. Our client is an online business that helps people to successfully find, apply and interview for jobs. From our empirical insights, we will derive recommendations to improve the customer experience and expanding our product offering of our client.

We have successfully completed an ethnographic research and customer journey project for TUEV NORD Mobility. Together with representatives from our client, we created 3 future state journeys, came up with 10 new concepts, 56 ideas and a lot of newly discovered or reformulated challenges for digitization and organizational development. Adding on to the promised results we also delivered two executive posters, one summing up the key insights and the other one providing an overview of the current customer journey and three future state journeys for different personas. We thank our client representatives for the excellent cooperation!

For one of the major German providers of technical services and testing, we review the customer journey of its most important business customers. A combination of journey mapping, ethnographic field research in car dealerships and workshops, and co-creation will provide the insights and a baseline to create the future state journey. Together we are also setting new priorities for upcoming digitization projects, marketing efforts and strategy.
