Our support

Our process begins with an initial analysis to learn about your company's current situation, solutions, and goals. Then, we assemble a team with the relevant expertise to lead interactive workshops designed to promote idea generation and creativity.

Our process is structured as follows: First, we identify and define the problem or opportunity space. Next, we work together to generate a wide range of potential solutions, encouraging open discussion and the exchange of ideas. This helps us identify the most promising solutions that align with your business strategy and goals.

Next, we develop artifacts to communicate and test the ideas in real-world scenarios with people who match your customer profile. This phase helps us refine the solutions and verify that they meet your customers' needs. Finally, we propose a roadmap for the iterative implementation of the created solutions to minimize risk and enable continuous improvement.

Throughout the process, we collaborate closely with your team to ensure the solutions we design align with your business strategy and goals.

Identifying opportunities and defining goals for new product-service systems (PSS) solutions is just one of the many ways we can help you achieve your goals. Contact us today to learn more about how we can help your company develop product-service systems.
