Presentation
Bonjour,
Je suis Cyril Schmitt, le co-fondateur de la société Ability.
Nous sommes une agence de conception et de direction artistique qui travaille essentiellement sur des produits numériques. 80% de nos clients viennent du secteur public, parmi lesquels nous comptons :
La présidence de la République - https://www.elysee.fr/
Les Jeux Olympiques de 2024 - https://www.paris2024.org/fr/
Une dizaine de musées et d'institutions culturelles (EPLMO / Orsay, Cité des sciences, Cité de la Bande dessinée, Musée Guimet, Le Grand Palais RMN...)
Des instituts de recherche tels que le CNRS ou l'Ifremer - https://www.ifremer.fr/fr
J'ai participé personnellement à la réflexion et à l'écriture du référentiel https://gr491.isit-europe.org/ sur le Groupe de Travail UX/UI (notamment avec Didier Denis et Valentin Cubas).
Aujourd'hui, je souhaite rendre plus officiel l'engagement sur ce sujet qui nous est cher — nous communiquons peu sur cet aspect, bien que notre démarche inclue ces normes et réflexions NR dans pratiquement chacun de nos projets. Signer cette charte me permettra de relancer plus officiellement le sujet au sein de notre agence, de lancer une campagne de sensibilisation et de certification d'une bonne partie de nos effectifs en interne.
Je reste également intéressé par donner de mon temps à la communauté et à participer à des groupes de réflexion, comme j'ai pu le faire par le passé avec le GR491.
N'hésitez pas à m'écrire pour en discuter, je ne maîtrise pas trop le schémas de signature de la charte et les prochaines étapes.
Merci encore pour votre travail et votre action.
À très vite.
C.
