Recent achievements:

R&D Transformation Across Global Chemical Labs

To drive sustainable software adoption, we guided an international R&D team of 3,000+ scientists through a change management program. The core focus was directly involving subject matter experts in the co-development of digital tools:

• Measurable outcomes via the ADKAR framework
• Iterations of testing sprints directly with chemists
• Assistance powered by voice & smart glasses
• Pilot roadmap with clear Go/No-Go criteria

Eco-Friendly Anti-Counterfeiting Through Smart Chemistry

For a Swiss startup, we supported service development through user research and designed the user experience for a tamper-proof marking technology. We bridged sustainable materials science with a verification app for brands and regulatory authorities:

• 100% eco-friendly solutions
• Smartphone verification without additional hardware
• Traceability and maximum protection
• Fast track: From lab scale to commercial B2B product

Global Compliance Platform in the SAP Ecosystem

To support complex chemical diligence and ESG processes, we designed central B2B dashboards based on SAP Fiori design principles and beyond. The platform unifies complex data streams, accelerates sustainability requests, and guarantees maximum transparency:

• Enterprise UX integration into existing SAP landscapes
• Enhanced governance by replacing legacy processes
• Automated ESG compliance reporting

• UX & AI enablement for global teams

Digital Business Models for Specialty Chemicals

For global material pioneers, we guided the identification, testing and scaling of data-driven initiatives across B2B and B2C segments. We combined strategic foresight with rapid market testing to relieve pressure on physical R&D and safeguard product margins:

• Exploration & futuring workshops
• De-risking through real-world user testing
• Value propositions for data-driven services
• From validation to a fully functional MVP
