Inspiration, Division Into Groups And Getting Starting.

This week we were exposed for the first time to the main theme of the annual project: the value of transparency and the "double diamond" model that will guide us in work practice.

Different Aspects Of Transparency

“ Explore the different aspects of transparency and submit a one-page report of your findings with relevant links.”

Each group member was asked to search and research existing cases and examples in the market, which were aimed at implementing the value of transparency while examining the issue in depth in various aspects. We were exposed to a number of examples such as:

Mine - Your Smart Data Assistant

Engie The Israeli start-up company offers a tiny component that connects to the vehicle and provides the customer with monitoring of the condition of the vehicle into an app on the smartphone thus, the service is accessible and reflects the user in a convenient, friendly, and clear manner.

Me
