Positively separate organizations, products or

services from competitors

Why do you choose one product from the shelve

instead of another?

Design is not about ugly or nice 1/2

Give the organization, product or service an

quality advantage

Or value for money (design can increase value

without increasing the production cost)

Positive substitute variables gives increase in

sales (eg. pc design)

Design is not about ugly or nice 2/2

Identify organizations, products or services

Create awareness (exposure preference –

evoked set)

Visual symbols are remembered most easy

Symbolise the brand

The identity must be loaded (positioning) so that

it gives meaning and increase perceived value

The richer the better

Design can communicate what you cannot say

• We are cool and youthful

• Emotions – like music

• Ex romantic perfume

What you cannot say is often what you like (liking)

• The rationale consumer is dead. (Think – feel – do)

• Feel – do – think

• Feel – think – do

Design can improve performance

• Easy to read

• Easy to use

• Simplify complex tasks or communication23

Design adds value in various ways

Honda – Choir

Design is an activity

Empathy

Design serves a

human purpose

Problem solving

Design shines where

the outcome is unclear

Finding alternatives

Design creates

options

Ideation and

prototyping

Design produces

things

Beckman, Sara L.& Barry, Michael (2007): “Innovation as a learning Process: Embedding Design Thinking”

“Marketing is not the art

of finding clever ways to

dispose of what you

make. It is the art of

creating genuine

customer value.”Philipp Kotler

(Marketing guru)

Today’s topics

• What is design?

• Personas

• Touch points

A strategy is an explicit goal and a vision of how to get there

What is strategy?

A goal

Mostly: Sell more, become

young and trendy

More rare: Increase the

sale of the product by x %

with young, urban men

Task: Increase the sale of diamonds with young, urban men

08.09.2010 31

What is strategy?

A goal

young and trendy

with young, urban men

…and how to reach it

Make young men buy

bigger or more diamonds

for their girfriends more

frequently

SIDE 33

What is strategy?

SIDE 34

A goal

young and trendy

with young urban men

Young men should wear

diamonds more often

Strategy:

The plan

Strategy vs. tactics: A (very) simplified

Tactics:

What you do

• Strategy requires trade-offs:

If you choose one path, you are ignoring another

• Viable strategies focus on

unique positions and activities

• Strategies combine and orchester various

aspects – tangible and intangible, products and

services, …

• Strategy has a (long) time aspect

• Strategies should be assessed and revised

Strategy – some implications

Based on: Porter, M. E. (1996): What is Strategy, in: Harvard Business Review, November-December 1996, pp.61-78

What is the difference?

From:Porter, M. E. (1996): What is Strategy, in: Harvard Business Review, November-December 1996, pp.61-78

“Thus my definition of strategy:

What makes you unique and

what is the best way to put

that difference into the

minds of your customers

and prospects.”

Jack Trout, Trout on Strategy

Today’s topics

• What is design?

• Personas

• Touch points

“If showbusiness wasn’t a

business it would be called

show show.”

Woody Allen

Using design, visual arts, arts,

humanistic and cultural thinking,

psychology etc. to support

achievement of strategic

business goals (e.g. making more

money, raise awareness, create

sympathy, ...).

Strategic design

• Create new products and

services

• Improve existing products

and services

• Develop services that

support

physical products

• Develop products that

improve services

• Develop new markets

• …

Strategic design is used for many

purposes

Design before and now (simplified)

Product

Before: Now:

Designed product

The devil is in the details

What does this

smell like?

What does this

sound like?

What does this

feel like?

Today’s topics

• What is design?

• Segmenting

• Personas

• Touch points

1) Business results depend on satisfying users

2) You are not your user

3) Learning about users requires direct contact

4) Knowledge about users must be actionable

5) Decisions should be based on users

What are personas?

• Personas are examples of a typical user in a target group – they

are stand ins for real users

• Personas not real people but represent real humans throughout the

design process

• As a tool, personas are widely used for both interface- and product

design

• Increasingly the marketing world takes interest in personas as well

• Even though personas are fictious they should be precisely

described precisely

• In order to make personas more real they are given real names and

personal details
