The Y&D team organized a design thinking workshop focused on our new challenge — the AI assistant. The session was well structured and offered a fresh perspective. The team clearly knows the methodology and explained it in a fun, easy-to-understand way. What stood out was how they took time to dive into our specific business context and ensured everyone’s voice was heard through respectful and friendly communication.

We partnered with the Yes&Design team to explore how banking services — both in physical branches and online — could become more inclusive. The goal was to make every interaction more accessible and user-friendly for all clients, regardless of their abilities. Through thoughtful facilitation and a design thinking approach, the team was able to reexamine everyday processes, identify hidden barriers, and develop ideas for a more seamless, barrier-free experience. Yes&Design helped us not just generate solutions, but fundamentally rethink how we design services from the ground up.
