Testimonials
HUED treats every challenge as
a new endeavor. They reuse their innovative methodology not the outcomes of previous engagements.
They take innovation as a mean to transform the organizations they work with, rather than treating innovation as a goal.
Eng. Sami Al HussayenVice Governor Development & Planning (during the project)
Our relationship with HUED developed from normal vendor-to-client into a partner in design, a service design lab is a dream come true with the effort and support from HUED.

Knowledge transfer at its best
We conduct knowledge transfer sessions for the lab champions to ensure they have the know how as well as onboarding for key stakeholders to create awareness about lab services.
We don’t miss out on any details
We develop a highly detailed blueprint for the innovation lab. Nothing is missing out. The blueprint will be the guide for the lab champions to design amazing services.
Prototyping is perfecting
Every lab has its own requirements therefore we prototype customized tools, then test and enhance them to ensure they are useful and lead to best outcomes.
Artifacts that work
We craft artifacts that are not only delightful to have but also they are practical and useful.
Say Hi..

Design Studio
We are constantly trying to make the dent, make the positive difference.
The innovation lab tools are designed to help teams navigate & design new or improve existing services offered by the organization, whether the service is dedicated to staff or to users/clients. The tools come within a toolkit along with a guidebook that explains how to, tool description, requirements, duration etc.
Space
The innovation lab space focuses on envisioning the interior design, looking at how it can function and enable all categories of stakeholders to collaborate and work in different scenarios (meetings, workshops, presentations, project work, prototyping & testing, exhibition etc), what type of furniture and other artefacts will facilitate each of these senarios.
Branding
The design of the artifacts and space should reflect the core message of lab’s brand and purpose. Everything people see and engage with in the design of the lab, from the furniture, visual cues and tools should be tailor-made to invoke certain functions from users, to encourage doing, not talking, enable creativity and energize.
Platform
The lab system acts as a knowledge hub where users can access the tools; collaboration space for remote work; lab booking system; challenge bank; idea bank where people can add ideas or nominate ones to be taken into implementation; and finally the innovation pipeline where users can see all active projects, status and details.
The system elements may differ from one lab to another.
Strategy
This lab component entails the main elements of the Service Innovation Lab Operational Framework. The extensive framework provides a detailed guideline, tools and processes that will help the Innovation team during its journey to design innovative and impactful services for the organization’s staff and users.
Operating Model
The innovation lab operating model and process is a practical and powerful tool that will help in guiding the core Innovation team achieve the promised mandate of the lab, and evolve the organization to becoming a leading service provider.
People
The Innovation Lab is the result of the creative collaboration between cross-functional and multi-disciplinary teams inside and outside the organization. Such collaboration requires a combination of structure, mindsets and skillsets that will foster the innovation process.
The lab champions are multi talented, autonomous individuals, provided with the executive support and tools to deliver the Lab mandates.
