This is our mission.
We are fully aware of our responsibilities and ensure we give sense and meaning to the projects we work on alongside our clients.
We are curious, rigorous, tenacious, creative and team-oriented, driven by the creation of value, whether economic, environmental or social.
Our vision is that in a rapidly changing digital world, a business’s future lies in its ability to act as an eco-system and to innovate.
Our natural environment is at grassroots level. We are convinced that it is by being as close as possible to users and the market that we can create value for people, the environment and businesses.
In 2015, as long-time friends, we were both working for leaders in the sports industry as Innovation, R&D and Marketing Managers. Frustrated by the lack of agility in the way innovation is managed, we had a shared desire to transform practices and introduce a more hybrid approach between businesses, based on what is actually happening on the ground, as well as on an understanding of use and technology and the construction of new models.
Then, at a conference, we discovered effectuation. It was a revelation that encompassed the practices and intuitions we were seeking. The seed was planted and the way forward became clear!
A few months later, we took the plunge and launched the SPARK LAB adventure!
Aristide & César, Co-founders
We work on innovation projects that help create the products, services and companies of the future. We do this while respecting the human and environmental values that are important to us.
Effectuation represents what we are, namely entrepreneurs who believe in taking initiatives and taking action.
Our business is people-oriented and based on trust. Doing business with complete honesty is our uncompromising principal.
It is in difference, diversity and interaction that originality and value is created.
