10 Years of MobileThinking
[2019]

To mark all these hard-won achievements, the MobileThinking team is organising a photo shoot to immortalise team spirit and celebrate collective success.

So everyone is getting out their best shirts and best smiles to charm the camera of our assigned photographer, Kevin. 

A special mention goes to Bianca, who was naturally present at the shoot and totally stole the show from the members of the team - a real star!

A new offer has arrived! After 5 years in business, MobileThinking is now launching a consulting service. The aim is to support customers in designing digital tools, optimising their digital development strategy and helping them with their digital transformation.

As part of the DECLAM network, the team welcomed Genius Loci, for a workshop on the theme: Valuing diversity and cross-border identity. The storytelling workshop involved exercises in creating micro-stories which, when put together, formed a network of narratives. Another highly productive experience in terms of debates, discussions and results!

The first Design Sprint of 2019 was carried out as part of a project with École Moser to help them design a new digital tool. It took place in collaboration with a team of professionals from Moser School, including teachers, administrative staff, members of the IT department and managers. There were many challenges, many of which were overcome thanks to the contributions of the team members and participants. It was a great week of co-design, rewarding and effective!

The second Design Sprint was carried out in partnership with Loyco and the bank Piguet Galland , with the aim of helping them to design one of their future products. The Design Sprint team was made up of CEOs, CIOs, senior consultants and more technical people. This mix of skills was extremely effective. Discussions were rich and decisions were taken quickly. On a more personal level, MobileThinking sensed from day one that the week was not only going to be rich in design and innovation, but also take place in an extraordinary atmosphere.

At the time, MobileThinking, Loyco and Piguet Galland had no idea of the significance of their encounter and the positive influence it would have on their future. To be continued 😉

This Design Sprint was a bit unusual... It took place in the mountains and... in slippers!

In partnership with Nicolas Croquet of Courroie de Transmission, MobileThinking was commissioned by Marie-Elodie Perga, a professor in the Faculty of Geosciences and the Environment at the University of Lausanne, to support a group of researchers from different backgrounds in the ideation and design of a prototype for... a video game!

The initial idea was to design a tool that would simulate the effects of global warming in the mountains, and more specifically on water, using a video game.

The aim was to use scientific data from different predictive models to bring together the various key players in the region around an interactive simulation and test different collaborative scenarios.

This week's workshop was particularly intense and highly constructive. Indeed, the major difficulty was to combine the two very complex worlds of science and video games. Despite this, the results were more than satisfactory!

And why wear slippers, you might ask? The workshop took place in a hotel in the village of Granges in Valais. The hotel offers a very peaceful setting, ideal for ideation, and has a golden rule: no shoes inside, hence the slippers 😉
