Tools and methods

Transforming practices

We contribute to the development of tools and methods (Quality assurance, tools for measuring resilience, risk management, etc.) and their adoption within organisations. Some we develop on our own initiative and then make available to the public; others we produce following specific requests (for example, the production of tools/guides with the possibility of accompanying teams via workshops, training, etc.).
