We've scheduled our next session with Gien Verschatse on slowing down to improve decision-making.
Is your team defaulting to tools like Kubernetes without fully understanding the problem? This session explores how to challenge those defaults, ask the right questions, and make better strategic choices.
Join us on October 2.

New newsletter - part 1 of 3 - on a new governing idea for Smithery (potentially replacing Making Things People Want > Making People Want Things)
In the term critical thinking, the word critical, (Greek κριτικός = kritikos = "critic") derives from the word critic and implies a critique; it identifies the intellectual capacity and the means "of judging", "of judgement", "for judging", and of being "able to discern."
"Products that are easy to use, make everyday life more pleasant, and increase the quality of life contribute significantly to maintaining vitality, independence, activity, and mobility for older people. TEAMS supported us excellently in the conception and implementation of our TV voice amplifier, OSKAR." - Marcell Faller, CEO faller audio

Anchor your design strategically and turn products into brand ambassadors.
We partnered with the Fischer Group as a strategic ally to develop a cohesive corporate identity and redefine an expansive product portfolio.
By empowering internal teams through a unified vision, we embed their core values into every product, ensuring design and purpose go hand in hand.
This is what we do. We design for a better life.

@ewolff spricht am morgigen Dienstag auf dem @JavaForumNord in Hannover zum Thema "Domain-Driven Design: Ein vollständiges Beispiel"
Inhaltlich wird hierbei die Frage diskutiert: Was bedeutet es eigentlich, Domain-driven Design (#DDD) umzusetzen?
Für alle Interessierten, die morgen leider nicht dabei sein können, haben wir die Folien hier bereitgestellt: https://lnkd.in/e_SJd-hQ

Interaction Design Education, extended
Thanks to Andi Pollok I thought it might be useful to add a new layer to the map, as he and his colleagues @bndktgrs and Eileen Mandir are running a new Masters programme called Strategic Design :-) at the HfG Schwäbisch Gmünd

I'm rebuilding the Smithery website. As always, I have a whole stack of stuff I want to say, and little space in which to do it.
As a short-hand for #strategicdesign though, this just popped out...
Think broader, for longer.
Something to keep playing with, I think, but captures how both #systemsthinking (breadth) and #futuresthinking (time) informs what I think of as my own strategic design practice.
Plus.. it's short. Websites like short.
In my latest newsletter: Making the most of big changes, plus Jenae Cohn on design for learning and other things worth your attention.

Side project news; been working up a regenerative design toolkit. And needed something to sit in the middle, a challenge to meet, some tensions to sit with.
So started playing around with a modern version of the Eames mantra…

We took the summer to refresh our website https://www.experientia.com, and rewrote some of it to provide you with a better insight on what Experientia actually does for its clients.
Over the years our emphasis has shifted to #behavioraldesign and #strategicdesign, with companies increasingly wanting to rethink parts of their business strategy by making it more customer-focused.
More project summaries to come in the following weeks.

I am always amazed by designers relying on the triad of “Desirability, Feasibility and Viability” in social innovation projects, as this model is deeply rooted in capitalism and neoliberal ideology.
Here is why: https://www.whispersandgiants.com/2023/05/10/desirability-feasibility-and-viability/

Let's talk about Design Strategy? Great, here’s a list of what design strategy isn’t:
- Simply aesthetics or surface styling.
- A one-size-fits-all solution.
- Merely following design trends without purpose.
- A fixed plan that can’t be changed.
-A planned process without interdisciplinary collaboration.
- Only about the end product and not the journey or process.
- Plan, based on personal preferences.
- A short-term fix without considering future implications.
- Unresponsive to changing market dynamics plan.
- Just about adding features.
- Designing the best user experience.
- Making it easier.
setting metric goals.
- Writing long docs and attending more meetings.
- A rigid doctrine immune to feedback.
- Devoid of empathy or understanding for users.
- Following the approach - more complex means better.
- Excluding accessibility and inclusivity needs.

There are times when mapping contexts with Shared Kernel and Conformist is strategically advantageous. Yet, if you are using these as your go-to mappings, you will simply follow the same bad habits that have rendered software in its current sorry state. Translation is gt sharing.
