This research is part of a project to design a digital solution (application) for communication and support for the Alfaset Foundation, which employs people with disabilities. The aim of this research phase was to set up a collaborative action research process and define the initial overall specifications for the application.<\/h5>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

The Alfaset Foundation is located in the canton of Neuch\u00e2tel and its main mission is to manage protected workshops in 15 different areas of activity. These workshops are spread over 5 production sites, some of which are integrated directly into the premises of customers such as Felco, Horotec, Nivarox, Philipp Moris and Von Bergen.<\/p>\n

This socio-industrial activity employs 250 people, including 50 Socio-Professional Workers (MSPs) and a number of educators. Alfaset employs a total of 550 people with disabilities (mostly part-time) on disability insurance or social assistance.<\/p>\n

The diversity of the activities on offer and the fact that they are spread across several sites in the canton of Neuch\u00e2tel mean that communication is very difficult from an institutional point of view. In order to maintain a strong link with its beneficiaries, Alfaset is looking for a digital solution that will enable effective communication between all its stakeholders, while respecting the specific needs of its beneficiaries’ disability situations and in line with the support dynamics that need to be strengthened.<\/p>\n[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”]\n

The aim of this research was to lay the foundations for the development of a digital solution to strengthen communication, at the service of support. To achieve this, the digital solution had to fit in with the digital ecosystem already in place at Alfaset, with the following objectives:<\/p>\n
