We combine applied design with scientific research as design researchers working on transformation projects. We actively incorporate complex systems and different perspectives and realities of life into our work. In doing so, we use different methods of participation and joint design of change processes.
Through observations, interviews and case studies, we gain practical insights that are tailored to the organization we accompany. We communicate our findings through clearly structured, easy-to-understand information graphics and documentation.
For transformation projects, we attach particular importance to:
Inclusion, accessibility and sustainability are at the heart of our transformation projects.
To achieve the goal of transformation, we integrate ecological and social sustainability into our design and research practice.
Whether in strategies for sustainable, social or digital transformation, we combine design and research in the implementation of transformation measures. We develop innovative formats such as audio walks for qualitative data collection and escape games for educational purposes. Our work in transformation projects is based on sound research in the areas of citizen participation, social sustainability, science communication and new work approaches.
How is it possible to make the digitalization process of funding plan creation inclusive and to optimize the networking of all participants?
We accompanied the Digitalization Department of the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD) in its vision process. In a series of workshops, visions were jointly developed that were dedicated to both the hybrid working team of the department and the planning of a digital conference.
We develop suitable methods tailored to your needs for each project. Here you will find a small selection:
Methods
The needs analysis in the design process can include various methods, such as interviews, surveys, observations, and user feedback. By analyzing this information, we can better understand what users want, what challenges they face, and how the design solution might respond to these
Context analysis is a method used to understand and evaluate the various external and internal factors that influence a particular situation or decision. It examines social, cultural, economic and technological factors to provide a comprehensive understanding of the surrounding framework in which a product, service or user interface is used. By analysing the context, we can better understand how our design decisions work in the real environment.
Stakeholder analysis is a set of methods for identifying, analysing and visualising the various players (stakeholders) involved in a particular project, company or initiative. The aim is to develop a comprehensive understanding of the interest groups and to clarify their relationships with each other as well as their potential influence. The method typically involves creating a graphical representation, often in the form of a map or matrix, on which the different stakeholders are placed according to their importance, interests and influence.

Alex is head of strategy at KITE. He possesses extensive expertise in the area of concept development and design methodology of User Experience Design, and he integrates this into KITE's project work. Against the backdrop of digitalized networking and assisting technologies, he primarily addresses audience- and context-oriented design in his work. This includes intelligent services, mixed reality, and machine learning technologies, as well as cross-platform interaction and GUI design.
