How We Work
ISSACS PSG believes that how we work is as important as what we build. We have found that a transparent, collaborative team with an experimental mindset focusing on progress over perfection yields a better project result with fewer surprises.
Our workspace is on the second floor of Sears think[box]. We deliberately chose to partner with think[box] and work in this space because innovation is by definition a creative process. Having access to the to the largest open-access innovation center gives us and our partners an environment that inspires creativity and productivity that traditional workspaces do not.
An innovative project always starts with a conversation. Please contact us if you have a technical project that you'd like to get kicked off or would like to work with us on one of our many innovative projects.
