Part 3: Session 1: Convenor Andrew Jeavons, Chair Zoe Dowling, schedule = 12:30pm to 12:59pm (New York/EST)
Simplicity
“A designer knows he has
achieved perfection not
when there is nothing to add,
but when there is nothing else
to take away “ - Antoine De
Saint-Exupery
“Simplicity is the ultimate
sophistication” -
Da Vinci or Jobs?
Speaker John Clay, Research4, UK
Part 3: Session 1: Convenor Andrew Jeavons, Chair Zoe Dowling, schedule = 12:30pm to 12:59pm (New York/EST)
Simplicity: why is it important?
Remember Dick? He can be
domineering,
demanding, pushy,
argumentative and a
poor listener
He needs information
as brief and to the
point as possible.
Avoid any more detail
than he needs to know
Speaker John Clay, Research4, UK
Part 3: Session 1: Convenor Andrew Jeavons, Chair Zoe Dowling, schedule = 12:30pm to 12:59pm (New York/EST)

unreliable nature of the military telegraph
Speaker John Clay, Research4, UK
Part 3: Session 1: Convenor Andrew Jeavons, Chair Zoe Dowling, schedule = 12:30pm to 12:59pm (New York/EST)

thinks laterally yet she
has little tolerance for
tedious detail

Picture superiority effect
Pictures are remembered better than
words, especially when people are
casually exposed to the information
for a limited time
Speaker John Clay, Research4, UK
Part 3: Session 1: Convenor Andrew Jeavons, Chair Zoe Dowling, schedule = 12:30pm to 12:59pm (New York/EST)
Let’s recap
1: Steve’s cognitive profile is very
different to Dick and Pippa
The problem:
The solution:
2: Steve turns his audience off
because he communicates the
research in a way that he would like to
see NOT what suits them
1: We need to identify the core story or
idea in our research findings then
provide contextual evidence
2: We need to tell visually engaging
and simple stories to get across the
research message
