You and your company see the potential in collaborating with Flight Case, understanding that it is a great opportunity to trigger innovation within your organization. This is the moment we start our collaboration!
From now on, we will begin setting up a contract and defining the content of the cases. Therefore, starting in April, we will prepare the cases from the Netherlands and in July we will visit your offices to finish the work and present the final outcomes.
1. Contact and co-creation
You hear about the possibilities we have to offer, and you are keen on starting a conversation with us. Then, we will be more than happy to think along with you on the content and deliverables of the project.
Making it a common journey will benefit both your company and our designers, who will be working for you in these valuable cases. So please, dare to ask!
2. Case definition
The case definition states what challenge or challenges you would like us to work in; we will support you in shaping and writing this brief.
Cases can be in the direction of strategic development, concept design, service development, product creation or anything else that you and your company consider worthwhile, no matter how challenging it is. We are also willing to participate in large issues such as organization transitions, regulatory manifestos or city-scopes. Do not hesitate to go wild!
The contract will define what we expect from each other in terms of resources, invested time and results.
3. Research and preparation
In April, our students and professors will start preparing for the cases by analyzing the current situation of your business and the context of the topic. Stakeholders will be defined, and we will explore the domain and trends. On top of that, we will sharpen our skills to adequately solve these cases.
This process will be facilitated with customized workshops and lectures that help our designers to gain knowledge about the topic. As the case progresses, we will keep you up to date by sending status reports on a regular basis.
4. In-house development and delivery
The aim of the Flight Case team is to travel to Japan for 3 weeks in July/August 2024. During our stay, we will visit your company to introduce our research, continue developing the solutions further and eventually present the deliverables.
During the case days, there is room for exploring possibilities with the designers on a more personal level and expanding your and your employee's networks. The professors are leading actors in the industry, and they are always eager to collaborate and share their knowledge with you. By the same token, many students are close to graduation, and they would love to hear what your company has to offer.
5. Publication and reflection
After the visit, we will provide your company with the final reports that will contain the outcomes of the work that has been done. Besides, we will share the results with other professors and students at the TU Delft, raising exposure of your company and the program.
Ultimately, as part of the final stage, a reflection in which we ask you for your experiences will be needed. In doing so, we will be able to improve our program in the future.
