• When Labs

  Business Manager (Health)

  Artificial Intelligence for Labor Management​
  
  When Labs' technology solves real time problems with multiple stakeholders, ambiguity and constraints. In healthcare, we use digital tools to link labor management to staff safety and patient care.
  
  ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (Partial constraint satisfaction)
  When Labs' technology balances rules and preferences by encoding a series of constraints, then surfacing best-fit alternatives. Employer rules, labor regulations, collective bargaining agreements, and employee preferences are all encoded as situation-specific constraints and weighed in real-time against resource availability.
  
  MACHINE LEARNING (Big data)
  Continuous daily interaction with the platform by all stakeholders generates data streams which are collected and managed for audit and compliance risk, as well as for ongoing systemic improvement of the constraint library.
  
  NATURAL INTERFACES (Chatbots and speech recognition)
  Technology interaction is simplified to obviate application loading and staff training. Most staff simply phone or text as they would contact management today, and most rollouts are as simple as a policy change of whom to contact.

• StoryConnect

  Business Manager, Canada & the Americas

  Professionals in Story-based insight and solutions. Narrative solutions provide deep insight into the reality behind data points.
  
  We use a Concurrent Mixed Method (CMM) approach. This is a class of research methods that gathers both qualitative and quantitative information at the same time. CMM has the great advantage of producing qualitative and quantitative information that are collected from and by the same person and as close as possible to the actual events.
  
  Story-based research allows you to navigate change through:
  - discovery of hidden information,
  - empowering with added perspectives and encouraging innovation, and
  - transformation by creating the tools needed to understand and control changing environments.
  
  StoryConnect has applications in product development, healthcare, consumer research, or any environment where we need to understand how others interact.
