Exploring, inspiring: triggering transformation
Our sustained R&D activity gives us very precise knowledge on the trends and challenges they face. But our mission goes further: to inspire our clients to undertake profound transformation.
Our goal is to support our teams and clients in their future businesses and roles.
R&D and Innovation according to Scalian
Our approach
We aim to anticipate and tackle our clients’ future challenges. The collective dimension is therefore essential, and we follow a co-innovation approach. We set up joint innovation and/or R&D laboratories: “incubators” where resources are made available on both sides (doctors, engineers, data, collaborative platform, etc.).
Our clients also seek our support for their projects by subcontracting their R&D to us. Our employees can develop their careers through the R&D structure of the Scalian Innovation Lab. Completing a state-of-the-art review, contributing directly to studies or conducting an experiment as part of a client assignment are all ways of maintaining cutting-edge knowledge and ensuring that our employees assimilate new digital, organisational and methodological drivers.
Research themes
Our research topics correspond to our clients’ business lines and concern the following areas:
- Agility and resilience:
recommend a global management approach, anticipating events and increasing the company’s resilience. - Enhanced performance:
increase decision-making, automate low-value-added tasks and change the way we work together in order to improve effectiveness and efficiency. - Sustainable and societal innovation:
set in motion and optimise the energy transition, join in the circular economy, set yourselves apart through end-to-end eco-design approaches. - Effectiveness and responsiveness in crisis management:
anticipate and prevent threats and risks, through a global approach combining business continuity and decision-making in emergency situations, in order to shorten the time needed to return to a nominal situation. - Human-Environment interfaces:
optimise human activities in an environmentally constrained context. - Adaptability and optimisation of health systems:
customise and target digital solutions. - Innovative mobility:
new practices based on mobility of goods and people, including its possible reduction. - Safety and security:
dependability and security of digital systems; consideration of human factors.
