The toolbox is indeed a co-creation involving the insight and expertise of 150 stakeholders collected through:
• Exploratory focus groups
• In-depth focus groups
• Interviews
• Feedback group
• Workgroups: informative tools
• Test panels (in group and “home alone”)
• Illustrators, graphic designers, video editing, music, excel
experts
