Getting you there · Design-driven development

Maximizing the engagement of your team.

We first design the right application with your teams, then build it through visible stages. You remain in control of the decisions. We bring the method, experience and convictions needed to move forward.

Our starting point

Your firm knows its practice. We know how to turn it into a product.

The workshops bring decision-makers, business teams and future users together around real situations. Our role is not simply to collect requirements: we draw on our experience of IP firms to simplify, prioritise and propose a coherent response.

  1. 01

    We arrive with convictions

    We compare your needs with projects we have already delivered, flag dead ends and put forward concrete options.

  2. 02

    You validate before we build

    Journeys and screens are tested as a prototype. Disagreements emerge while they are still quick to resolve.

  3. 03

    Every stage leads to a decision

    Scope, mock-ups, architecture, delivery stages and acceptance criteria keep the project clear for management and teams alike.

01 · Designing together

Three to five sessions to clarify your needs.

This phase turns an intention into a product that everyone can see, test and estimate. We prepare each session, guide the decisions and leave with a usable deliverable.

01
Direction and scope

Align the vision

Objectives, users, pain points, constraints and success criteria. We separate what is structural from what can wait.

Outcome

A scoping note, a shared scope and agreed priorities.

02
Practice and journeys

Understand the real work

We follow matters, decisions and exceptions with the people who handle them every day.

Outcome

Target journeys and documented business rules.

03
Interfaces and usage

Test before building

Screens become a clickable prototype. Your teams can react to something tangible without waiting for development.

Outcome

A prototype tested and approved in session.

04
Data and connections

Secure the foundations

We map data, permissions and exchanges with the IPMS, offices and tools already in place.

Outcome

An integration, migration and security plan.

05
Decision and trajectory

Organise delivery

We divide the product into stages, define milestones and balance value, effort, dependencies and risk.

Outcome

A roadmap, budget and delivery plan.

02 · Building and delivering

From prototype to production, with no black box.

Design provides a clear direction. Development turns it into software through demonstrable increments, with a permanent acceptance environment and traceable decisions.

01Before the code

Approved prototype

Priority journeys, rules and interfaces are reviewed with the users concerned.

Outcome · scope and success criteria
02In increments

Visible development

We work in short increments, demonstrate the product regularly and incorporate useful feedback.

Rhythm · demonstrations and decisions
03With your teams

Guided acceptance testing

Scenarios are prepared together. Issues and requests are qualified, prioritised and tracked through to approval.

Control · shared, traceable criteria
04For the long term

Supported launch

Cutover, data migration, training and monitoring: we remain responsible for the product after launch.

Next · support and continuous evolution
Your project

Let’s start by laying out the need clearly.

An initial conversation with a partner is enough to understand the context, identify the first decisions and see whether our method suits your firm.
