Our methodology adapts to the unique needs of each project
Based on the double diamond model, Alto’s process is comprised of four phases corresponding to the stages of product development. The process is adapted to the nature of each project.
Projects’ parameters sometimes change along the way: our support is therefore evolutive and flexible to transform the unexpected into opportunities. The initial assessment of the project determines the services offered: we listen to the needs and discuss them together. When the project starts, our team is already mobilized to meet your challenges.
Our multi-disciplinary team and our workshop enable us to offer a range of services adapted to complex projects. Depending on your needs, our services can be offered at different points in the process.
A METHODOLOGICAL YET FLEXIBLE PROCESS
Our process is based on the “double diamond” model used in design to structure and guide the creative process. This model consists of four phases, represented by two diamonds, and emphasizes the divergence and convergence of ideas. The first diamond represents the research phase, during which a wealth of information and hypotheses are analyzed to determine design paths. The second diamond represents the exploration of preliminary concepts, which are then selected and refined through to industrialization.
This adaptation of the double diamond represents Alto’s design vision, which is why strategy and empathy are omnipresent compared to the conventional model. The emphasis we place on prototyping and the iterative validation process stems from the same intention.
Experience has shown us that involving design at the strategy stage helps to ensure that innovations are integrated seamlessly and coherently at a later stage. This important step helps to rally stakeholders and decision-makers around a shared vision of project objectives.
