EntraînementTraining is teaching, or developing in oneself or others, any skills and knowledge or fitness that relate to specific useful competencies. Training has specific goals of improving one's capability, capacity, productivity and performance. It forms the core of apprenticeships and provides the backbone of content at institutes of technology (also known as technical colleges or polytechnics). In addition to the basic training required for a trade, occupation or profession, training may continue beyond initial competence to maintain, upgrade and update skills throughout working life.
Progrès techniqueLe progrès technique est l’amélioration des techniques, y compris organisationnelles, qui sont utilisées dans le processus de production des biens et des services. Le développement des « nouvelles technologies » est tel que l'on parle de progrès technique. Le concept de progrès technique est toutefois controversé dans les milieux écologistes en raison de certains effets négatifs sur l'environnement du développement technologique tel qu'il s'opère depuis la révolution industrielle.
Human-centered designHuman-centered design (HCD, also human-centred design, as used in ISO standards) is an approach to problem-solving commonly used in process, product, service and system design, management, and engineering frameworks that develops solutions to problems by involving the human perspective in all steps of the problem-solving process. Human involvement typically takes place in initially observing the problem within context, brainstorming, conceptualizing, developing of concepts and implementing the solution.
Sustainable businessA sustainable business, or a green business, is an enterprise that has a minimal negative impact or potentially a positive effect on the global or local environment, community, society, or economy—a business that strives to meet the triple bottom line. They cluster under different groupings and the whole is sometimes referred to as "green capitalism." Often, sustainable businesses have progressive environmental and human rights policies.
Design thinkingLe design thinking (littéralement « penser le design »), en français démarche design ou conception créative, est une méthode de gestion de l'innovation élaborée à l'université Stanford aux États-Unis dans les années 1980 par Rolf Faste. Cette méthode, qui se veut une synthèse entre pensée analytique et pensée intuitive, relève du design collaboratif, pratique du design qui implique les usagers dans un processus de co-créativité.
