3. In most people's vocabularies,
design means veneer. It's interior
decorating. It's the fabric of the
curtains of the sofa. But to me,
nothing could be further from the
meaning of design. Design is the
fundamental soul of a human-made
creation that ends up expressing
itself in successive outer layers of
the product or service.

4. Optimizing for the End-Customer
“The human-centered approach puts people’s needs first,
technology second. It focuses upon human activities. It
makes the technology invisible, embedded within activity-
specific information appliances. Simple, powerful,
enjoyable.”
–Donald Norman

5. Design Research and Market Research
“Discovery oriented design research, at its core, is about developing
usable insights for a design project. It is dangerous to confuse
traditional market research with design research; market research is
an end in itself, and is often judged on whether or not the research
told the firm anything new. Design research has a different,
perhaps more challenging goal: provide the design team /
management team the right inputs to create concepts and ideas that
are distinctive. This is an important, but subtle difference.”
– Jeremy Alexis, ID, IIT

The harder problem today is knowing
what to innovate
Our task: Bring decisions about user experience
into the early stages of development.
Align strategic benefit with the consumer value
