Work ethically & sustainably
How can your company change and become more attractive by acting ethically and sustainably?
Do you want a quick solution? And should it be cheap too? And, between you and me, you want the whole thing to change as little as possible for you as a supplier? In itself, there is nothing to be said against a quick solution. But what if this solution comes at the expense of others, if your employees, partners, customers or users have to suffer disadvantages just because unfortunately an ignorant decision-maker takes the supposedly "easy" way?
Anyone who designs and delivers a product, system, or service to people is making decisions that affect the lives and work of others. An organization must understand that there are criteria for “good” and “bad” decisions. The criteria of the system design are based on international standards and scientific findings from areas such as human factors and ergonomics, design or anthropology.
The knowledge of good and bad criteria of our considerations and their consequences describes ethical action. This means that actions and decisions cannot only aim at short-term profit increase, but should pursue more fundamental and sustainable goals.
Even if companies are already investing in UX and product quality, there is usually still room for improvement when it comes to sustainability in the organization.

3D capability model
"Strong ethics keep corporations healthy. Poor ethics make companies sick. Values are the immune system of every organisation."
Patrick Dixon
Acting ethically means being able to distinguish between "good" and "bad".
An organization that anchors such long-term strategies centrally is more robust in its work culture and innovative strength. Sustainability thus becomes an achievable, actionable quality goal and is no longer just a word in a company brochure.
Through our novel 3D Capability Model, we relate the dimensions of "need-orientation", "human-centricity" and "sustainability" and develop the world of "new work" together with you.
