TAC Case Study

The Brief

Rubber Cheese were approached by TAC to help them pitch a new concept to their clients, building on an already successful working relationship.

We were asked to design a series of interactive display screens, to show the user how an office building is working and how energy efficient the building is. TAC felt that it would be beneficial to their clients if the interactive screen concepts were designed by a company that did not have an engineering background, as they would need to be easily used by anyone.

The Solution

We created a fixed size screen that could either be used on a normal computer monitor, or be used as a touch screen display. Simplicity for the user was the key, so we created display icons for each area of the building with rollovers and warning icons for when a problem arises in a certain area. We then created an easy to use navigation structure, so all areas could be accessed from any screen.

TAC have since pitched these concepts to their client and been successful in winning the contract.

Client Testimonial

"The Rubber Cheese team stand out from their competition in their ability to instinctively know what it is their client is looking for. Their conceptual designs for the dashboards / display screens have totally encapsulated the future needs and evolution of the
management system."

Paula’s skill in delivering instant summaries of key issues and on-the-spot briefing to our Ministers and Secretary of State at live events has been critical to gaining public understanding of difficult issues; she is a real asset to our team.
(Tiffany St James, Department for Work and Pensions)

Paula Reid trained me and nine colleagues on an intensive two-day course in 'The Art of Facilitation'. Paula's training style is very relaxed, personable and interactive. She ensures that the tone of the session is… is punchy, informative, relevant and fun. Paula constantly checks how everyone is feeling (as a good facilitator should) and that people feel at ease to speak openly and honestly, sharing both good and bad experiences, from which the whole group can learn. The 'top tips and tools' were particularly helpful.
