UQASE Method

Co-design, design thinking and lean startup in service of execution.

We combine methods according to the client context, topic maturity and decision to secure: align teams, understand usage, test assumptions and prepare scale-up.

Our conviction

No single method is enough to transform sustainably.

Co-design mobilizes collective intelligence. Design thinking places users, gains, pains and aspirations at the center. Lean startup turns ideas into testable assumptions and measurable learning. UQASE assembles these three registers to avoid workshops with no follow-through and product proofs with no adoption.

01

Co-design

Align stakeholders, break silos and produce a shared decision.

02

Design thinking

Explore usage, formalize personas, journeys, pains, gains and service concepts.

03

Lean startup

Prioritize assumptions, build an MVP, measure signals and decide whether to pivot or accelerate.

When to use which approach?

We adapt the methodological mix to the level of uncertainty.

Typical flow

From shared vision to measurable proof.

Every intervention is calibrated, but the logic is constant: surface the right topics, turn them into concepts, then prepare the conditions for implementation.

01

Frame

Objectives, scope, stakeholders, constraints and success criteria.

02

Immerse

Interviews, empathy maps, gains, pains, aspirations and usage analysis.

03

Ideate

Structured brainstorming, concept sheets, service scenarios and use cases.

04

Prioritize

Value, feasibility, risk, data/API dependencies, effort and impact.

05

Experiment

MVP, product proof, user test, indicators and learning loops.

06

Activate

Roadmap, governance, planning, method transfer and adoption.

Expected benefits

A successful intervention produces alignment, not just ideas.

Workshop materials show a constant: value comes from both the result and the process. A co-built solution becomes more desirable, more robust and easier for teams to carry.

Acceleration

Clarify earlier the risks, dependencies and decisions that condition execution.

Desirable solution

Move from an imposed solution to a solution understood, discussed and carried by the people concerned.

Collective ownership

Make transformation a shared matter, not a project held by one isolated team.

Intervention formats

In-person, remote or hybrid: the design of the system matters more than the tool.

We choose formats according to the context: executive workshop, design sprint, field immersion, prioritization session, serious game, training or post-workshop support. Digital tools do not replace facilitation; they make it more fluid.

Application fields

A useful method whenever strategy, usage and execution intersect.

The workshop references studied cover digital vision, organization, processes, product, usage, innovation and change enablement. UQASE takes this multi-domain logic and adapts it to the client's sector and challenge.

VisionOrganization

Digital transformation

Align a trajectory, identify innovation levers and clarify priority processes.

ProductAdoption

Journeys & experience

Move from user needs to journeys, service concepts and adoption mechanisms.

LeanMVP

New models

Formalize a value proposition, test a business model and decide from measurable signals.
