- 9. Key message Always be prepared to explore alternative paths to success.
- 10. Whenthings go wrong… Always be prepared to stopdoingwhat you are doing, do it anotherwayor do it more.
- 11. Example 1: The moving house form for electricity STOP DESIGNING!
- 14. Lessons learned Design is not aboutpicking a path and sticking to it, it’sabout finding the path that is better for the business. Therecansometimes be confusionbetween the goals of the project and the goals of the business. Follow the money! The business willthank you and remember you when you findefficient solutions.
- 15. Example 2: The corporate human resources (cv management) tool SWERVE AND AVOID COLLISION
- 17. 2 weeks
- 18. Lessons learned Wellinto a projectwehave a lotmore information aboutneeds and behaviors. Use that information to createmorecost-efficient solutions! Don’tforget to make gooduse of the tools and software you alreadyhave at hand. It willmean less frustration and less training. Nevergive up.
- 19. Example 3: Making design talk money GIVE MORE PRIORITY TO BUSINESS-DRIVEN DESIGN
- 20. Keep designing the website’s cash cow Get people to the site. Get peopledoing the right thing. SEO 10% CO 2% 14% 92%
- 21. Lessons learned Design isconversionoptimization Numbersspeakvolumes We got one up on the SEO people!
- 22. Recap Do not pursue design whichdoes not add to business value. You mayhave to swervebutkeepgoingand work within the new boundaries. Needmore time to get the design working? Make a case for it! Usewhat you learnduring a project to createmorecost-efficient solutions. Follow the money.
