We deliver the power of perfect user centricity in sprints
We work in sprints and integrate seamlessly into your processes with this agile methodology. We actively involve your team in this process, because we have only achieved our goal if we enable you to act based on perfect user centricity.
After the joint definition of objectives with all relevant shareholders of a project, we develop the data collection. In some cases you already have all the necessary data in house. Our experts are happy to screen, select relevant content and prepare it for analysis. If necessary, we conduct market research with (potential) customers, extract the findings and prepare them in a way that they are understood by all those responsible. You will receive a clear guide to relevant, individual options for action.
Such a sprint takes four weeks on average.

Company with heart



In 2018, our Dialego Foundation for Children was honored with the CSR Award for our social commitment. Since 2007, the foundation has been supporting regional and international aid projects for children. For example, we made it possible to build a water well at a school in Cameroon as well as school and village gardens in Burkina Faso. The foundation also has several sponsored children worldwide. One of the largest projects is the cookbook with a donation function created by employees and friends: FADI KOCHT SYRISCH.
