„We translate innovations into operations with a major focus on Human and Organisational Factors“
Welcome
Wabus stands for curiosity.
How to optimally team up human experts with innovative technology to deliver high quality services?
We tackle this question by offering long-term innovation foresight methods to expand your innovation pipeline, immediate Human and Organisational Factors (HOF) integration strategies as part of your daily operational excellence and safety management processes, as well as independent HOF-Assessments emphasizing your company’s proficiency.
Our Mission
Our conviction is that well- designed Human-Machine Teaming is the most promising approach to shape future services.
Our key focus is on transportation, because mobility of people, goods, services and even ideas is at the heart of every society’s prosperity.
People are at the center of mobility: as customers, operators or regulators. That’s why we put our key focus on the Human and Organisational Factors (HOF). We support the design and operation of sociotechnical systems that deliver safe, sustainable and comforting services to your customers, while ensuring your staffs needs as well as compliance with relevant regulatory frameworks.
The centrality of people is reflected in the variety of application domains of Human and Organisational Factors (HOF).
Whether the application domain is physical (e.g. transportation), digital (e.g. AI applications) or even both (e.g. in Brain-Computer-Interface applications), the human ingenuity and errors that make up organizations are the key element for a successful development and operation of services. Therefore, the people must be put center stage.
We are convinced that successful innovation and operation requires a sound Human and Organisational Factors Strategy (HOF- Strategy) translating available insights into practice.
Our mission is to drive technological innovation centered around the humans involved.

Human and Organisational Factors Integration (HOF- Integration)
Integrating Human and Organisational Factors adds value, resilience and comfort to your transportation services. That’s why it is one central pillar of operational excellence and has been introduced in sector-specific regulatory frameworks (such as EU 2018/761 or EU 2016/798 in rail operations).
Yet, operating companies need to maintain their focus on their key business. Therefore, we offer tailored Human and Organisational Factors Integration to complement the operational expertise of our clients. By working together with us, all parties are able to keep doing what they do best.
Independent HOF- Assessments and Reviews
Due to client requests, we are offering independent HOF Assessments and Reviews of ongoing initiatives in the HOF domain to strengthen our client’s dossiers in approval processes.
We do so by independently assessing the situation with our product HOFTOOLS® to provide an external expert opinion,
identify possible blind-spots and propose adequate mitigation measures.
Thereby, we add a second layer of confidence to our clients own HOF initiatives to ensure the best possible measures to be identified and implemented. Raising all stakeholder’s confidence by ensuring proper consideration of relevant Human and Organisational Factors makes your service robust, right from the start.
