WE CAN THINK ALL KINDS OF THINGS ABOUT HOW WE BELIEVE THE SYSTEM IS WORKING,“
but then seeing the reality of how it was really working, it was shocking to see how far from our intentions reality had come.
Patients needed someone to be present for them. Despite a flurry of activity, nothing was changing for them. We needed to feel the blockages and struggles.

SOME PEOPLE HAVE THE VIEW OF DESIGN THINKING“that if you get a whole bunch of people in a room with Post-It notes, something magical happens.
And afterward, you don't quite know how you did it. Instead, you have to make it clear that there’s a rigorous methodology in place that people can learn.
We want to be leading edge, not bleeding edge. You need a very structured methodology that lets you safely work through the elements.DR. DON CAMPBELL

BUSINESS
”There is only one boss. The customer. And he can fire everybody in the company from the chairman on down, simply by spending his money somewhere else.”Sam Walton, founder of Wal-Mart

Some challenges whenimplementing
design methodology
DARESAY !
”I don’t understand how design can help us developing strategies, we already have a good understanding of the customer buying behaviour.”
1The Knowledge
Gap/Bias
“We can’t get any resources – the development department have a huge delivery this month, and the marketing department are planning our important Christmas campaign right now.”
2Existing
Company Structures
“We know our business and our customers very well, so we know what we need to do to make the customer more satisfied.”
3Expert Culture
“Well, we understand that young companies, which are digital at core, can move fast. But our platforms are 40–50 years old, so it is basically impossible to do anything short term.”
4The Burden
of the Technical Legacy
”I can calculate the return on the investment to drive traffic to our web, but what is the return on a customer journey?”
