I’ve worked been an advisor for and worked with Google, Samsung, Microsoft on augmented reality and discount programs that would deliver coupons or savings as you travel or load to credit card rewards for MasterCard. I sold Passbook to Apple, and I’ve worked with entrepreneurs and private equity organizations.

This book will provide you with new tools, skills,
and a mindset to harness opportunities born of
uncertainty in order to design a better business.
We’ve included tons of real-world examples of
people who have mastered the fundamentals of
design, as well as case studies of companies that
have created change using design as the under-
lying foundation for decision making. And, just as
design is a repeatable process, this book is meant
not only to guide you on your design journey, but
also to provide an ongoing reference to help you
scale the design beyond one project or product
to an entire company.
