A pioneering company in the study of the impact of digital transformations on human activities, Human design Group is the French leader in supporting design strategies.
Historically a founder, having opened up the «voice» of private consulting in ergonomics and human factors as early as 1978 in France (within Bertin Technologies, inventor of numerous innovations and the aerotrain), Human design Group has developed a singular and visionary genetics (well before UX design), based on its raison d'être to become and embody this missing and recognised link in our technological landscape by hybridizing the human sciences with those of transformational engineering («Human x Design»).
Bringing together disciplines such as design, ergonomics and human factors, as well as software engineering and expertise in data analysis, Human design Group has a native ability to design products, services, spaces and organisations that incorporate the challenges of complex, high-risk systems.
We integrate human factors into innovation and transformation projects in 6 strategic areas:
Putting people at the heart of our customers' transformations to take action sThis is our raison d'être and our daily ambition. This is our raison d'être and our daily ambition.
With over 45 years' multi-sector customer experience, major references in complex transformations and more than 140 human factors engineering consultants, we operate mainly in 6 key sectors: Aerospace, Mobility, Energy, Defence, Industry and Health. With 5 sites in France (Paris-Versailles, Toulouse, Aix-en-Provence, Lyon and Bordeaux) and a subsidiary in Spain (Vigo).
Our structure inherits our history through six major sectors in which we have been involved, and through three cross-functional operational divisions: consulting, research and training.
This organisation illustrates our multi-sector expertise and our desire to provide end-to-end solutions, cross-fertilisation and adaptability to the specific features of each project.
Originating from INRIA, our history is closely linked to research and experimentation, particularly around the challenge of adapting research methodologies in ergonomics and human factors to changing, often complex and sometimes risky areas of industry.
This founding act, infused into the Bertin Group over 40 years, has spread to all Human design Group programmes and underpins a strategy based on anticipating transformations and developing innovative assets designed to preserve the centrality of the human element in design methodologies.
Our culture reflects our mission and strategy.
We cultivate a taste for excellence, a passion for challenges and a tailor-made approach in every project we undertake. Each and every one of our employees is a researcher at heart or in practice, having to respond both to the often strategic challenges of our customers and to the efficiency and ease of use of our employees and customers.
Partnership is a fundamental value, put into practice in a diverse ecosystem of organisations, enabling us to propose joint solutions for the success of industries, sectors and communities.
When called upon by the media or by events to provide an expert perspective or present some of our disciplines or projects, we are keen to share our values and defend the centrality of the human being.
