Technologies for the study of human behavior

Our "Why"

Because we love studying human behavior.
We bring experimental research on human behavior into businesses because we believe that every decision making process should be based on empirical evidence. mettendo al centro l’essere umano e la sostenibilità.

The core purpose of any organization is to create value for its stakeholders: external customers, human resources and investors.

Thus, the success of any organization is determined by a series of critical decisions that revolve around all the products and the processes humans are constantly interacting with.

Understanding the drivers of human behavior in different decision-making contexts allows us to help companies maximize the value of their products and processes.

How?

The research methods conventionally adopted for the study of human behavior are based on self-reported measures.

These methodologies suffer from a limitation that is hardwired in our human nature: most of our decisions arise from automatic cognitive processes of which we are completely unaware.

Often, we don't know the motivations behind our own preferences and cannot accurately predict what we would do in a given, hypothetical situations.

For this reason, we develop and adopt technologies derived from neuroscience, cognitive psychology, and behavioral economics.

What?

From our perspective, we believe that human beings should be at the core of every step of a design thinking process.

Indeed, the effectiveness of a design depends on its ability to change people behavior.

We help businesses answer the question:

"Which solution maximizes the performances of our products or processes?"

Empathize: we gather information about users, their attitudes, motivations, feelings, so that we can better understand their perspective
Define: we define users' needs and problems and identify of the related value-creation opportunities
Ideate: we generate ideas and solutions
Prototype: we help you design of prototypes that match your users' needs
Test: we tackle the prototyping and testing phase with an experimental and data-driven approach
