CREWS 2022 → Stories of experimentation from our R&D teams

The agenda

Prologue

 

Presents

Guido Polcan

Principal at H-FARM Innovation

Over the past five years, we have welcomed innovation through our Crews program, a fun concept set up to manage our R&D efforts; with few rules and a lot of freedom. In a way, Crews work like in-house startups on a deadline, in that they have 4 months to develop their ideas. Those ideas can birth massive projects: indeed, many of them have eventually become an integral part of our offering, substantially bettering our internal processes.

As humans, we are — more or less knowingly — subject to all kinds of bias, including those related to the workplace. Prisma tries to offer companies a debiasing path to promote a more inclusive workplace that is open to the genuine appreciation of people.
