Collaborative Projects : A lever for sustainable performance

In the field of experiential projects, collaborative projects have become essential to ensure long-term performance. Working communities have an essential role to play in the success of these projects. With the Podcast Shake & SharePodcast, Lionel David Guillaume, co-founder of OHRIZONsheds light on the importance of collaboration and the contribution of different players to a project's success.

Lionel David Guillaume, a pioneer in augmented reality since 2009, founded the OHRIZON studio in 2013. On the occasion of the podcast "Projets collaboratifs: richesse inestimable ou perte de temps?" He invites us to measure the power of collaboration in our projects. He encourages us to transpose this approach to the fields of tourism and active learning, and to understand the impact of creating workgroups that are genuinely involved in project creation. Indeed, every employee, customer, partner or supplier can contribute to the project.

In the world of experiential projects, there are three levels of collaboration:

• The in-house team, essential to the smooth running of the project.

• The customer team, who are project and realization partners.

• The end-users of the experience, who have a neutral viewpoint and are the most important factor in the success of the project.

At every stage of the project, it's crucial that these three layers work together, contributing their insights and skills.

The key to successful collaborative projects lies in methodology. It' s vital to get the right people talking, at the right time, and to ask them the right questions. These questions enable the participants to give the right answers, which will then be arbitrated thanks to the decision filters established upstream.

Asking the right questions is often more difficult than finding the solutions themselves.

Understanding a complex system, whether in technology projects or strategic communications, requires the invaluable help of an activated and skilfully segmented collective. The creation of working communities is a powerful lever for sustainable performance.

It's worth highlighting two concrete examples of projects that have been transformed thanks to the contribution and participation of work communities.

The first example comes from an archaeological site, where OHRIZON carried out a tour project. On the first day of the project, questions were asked about the value of creating experiential tours with augmented reality.

Thanks to the involvement of end-users and the active participation of those in charge of the public, OHRIZON and the site managers were able to target an often overlooked audience: teenagers and young adults. By involving them throughout the process, having them test and give feedback, they were able to build a story to make the experience more attractive and accessible to all.

The second example concerns the hotel industry. OHRIZON worked on a housekeeping training project combining the advantages of augmented reality with the flexibility of a multiplatform application for a major hotel group. By involving employees at all levels in the thinking and creation process, they created an immersive experience that strengthened team spirit and cohesion within the company.

OHRIZON, headed by Lionel David Guillaume, is a company specializing in the creation of augmented experiences in the tourism and vocational training sectors. Since 2009, OHRIZON has acquired solid expertise in creating immersive experiences and using augmented reality to enrich projects. Their collaborative approach and ability to mobilize working communities make them a key player in the success of projects.

Collaborative projects are a lever for sustainable performance. By involving the various stakeholders and soliciting their expertise, it is possible to transform a project and deliver a more accomplished experience. If you'd like to find out more about best practices in collaborative projects, we encourage you to listen to the Check & Share podcast "Projets collaboratifs: richesse inestimable ou perte de temps?" where Lionel David Guillaume shares his expertise and experience in the field of augmented reality and business training.

Remember, alone we go faster, but together we go further!
