The Methodology

A hybrid approach for innovative solutions.

Our design-driven methodology, along with our faculty and partner network, represents our greatest added value. Over the years, we have created an experimental Design Thinking approach. Our method employs scientific research to fuel the design process and establishes a development flow that merges Problem Solving with Innovation of Meaning. With project teams, we focus on mindset, hard and soft skills, and particularly on creativity. Additionally, we have launched a pilot program utilizing artificial intelligence tools to accelerate the design process.

Together with our partners, we have developed prototypes in the following areas:

Financial Fraud

Digital Twin

Succession Planning

GenAI Applications

B2B Payments

Environmental Sustainability

Personal Financial Management

Financial Inclusion

Customer Data Value Enhancement
