You're doing insight wrong if your business needs a 40-slide deck to "see" the research. Bring the user into the room. Quotes. Clips. Numbers. Put it in the design work, not in a folder.

"Transformation needs more than technology" is my main take away from 2 intensive days.
I didn't hear a process or op model transformation -- only "digital transformation". Perhaps "digital" is too sacred, a unicorn?

That's good #UserCentredDesign right there from my excellent colleagues.

2-factor authentication by email plus SMS is all very well, as long as you haven't lost your phone, and are trying to sort that out! 😅

"We have had a software upgrade".
"Oh great, that means things will be easier, better, more secure", said no-one, ever.
But why not? As a digital industry we should be designing, building and upgrading around user needs, and it should be a delight to have an upgraded system.

One of the best 'jobs' I ever had was spending 3 hours at City University in London making training materials for and speaking to their trainee optometrists and opticians about my experiences. I got £75 an hour, cash.
18 years ago, before I'd heard of #UserResearch or #UserCentredDesign.
Ich erinnere mich an die Debatten und Change Prozesse, die mit #DesignThinking und #UserCentredDesign vor ca. 15 Jahren in der Autoindustrie kamen. Ähnlich scheint sich die Baubranche nun die Frage zu stellen, was ist der eigentlich Sinn und Zweck unserer Arbeit? Ist das nur bauen oder können […]
