The document introduces the concept of a dynamic roadmap that merges strategy with design thinking to create user-centric and hypothesis-driven solutions. It emphasizes the importance of navigating uncertainty while executing strategies and encourages continuous learning through questioning. The roadmap is structured around identifying user problems and aspirations, mapping opportunities, and conceptualizing solutions at different organizational levels.

1. Dynamic
Roadmap:
Combining
Strategy
and Design
Thinking

2. Welcome

3. Design Thinking
Just the basics

4. Think Create Build
Proof by Design

5. Create Build
Think
Proof by Design
Fall in love with the problem,
not the solution

6. Think Build

Base your concept on facts,
not opinions

7. Think Create
Agile development also means
constant learning

8. Strategy and Execution
A couple of observations
1508™

9. Companies have
lots of different
strategies

10. Most of them
share the same
structure
Why are we here?
Where are we going?
What are we going to do?

11. Formulating
strategies usually
covers the same
ground
Strenghts Weaknesses
Opportunities Threats

12. Those who make
strategy are not
the ones who
execute it

15. When executing
strategy, reality
rules

16. When executing
strategy, uncertainty
is the only certainty

17. Act on what is
needed, not just
what is planned

18. What if strategy
articulated uncertainty
by providing questions
to be answered through
continuous learning?

19. An introduction to
Dynamic Roadmap

20. We want to bridge the gap
between strategy and execution
by making the latter
User centric
Hypothesis-driven
