Modi’s Maxim #3:
“Saying ‘no’ is a design decision. Make it count.”
Boundaries aren’t blockers—they’re the blueprint for brilliance.

In many ways, our #DesignEducation was preparing us to make the world more homogenous and exclusive, rather than more #diverse, #inclusive, and richly expressive. #Biases in #design: hiding in plain sight in a world full of visuals https://flip.it/ydnxey #GraphicDesign #DEI #DecisionBias #DesignDecisions
Imitating social media giant #DesignDecisions is pursuing a #LocalMaximum and will not lead to better #design for #Fediverse instance software.
This is #MalcolmGladwell on chunky spaghetti sauce. Recipes on show are really just imitating things as famous as Coke and 7Up, with a manifesto that few people connect with.
Needs to be more #RorySutherland on Red Bull: small can, strange tasting, expensive and like nothing else.
Red Bull wasn't "like x, but..." so it can be number 1.
Inspired by #Tesla’s apparently arbitrary #ProductDesign decisions, someone's decided to imagine what the company might make next. And the results are suitably bizarre. https://www.creativebloq.com/news/tesla-design-concepts #DesignStrategy #UX #DesignDecisions #DesignHumour #IndustrialDesign
Let me show you how to use #JobsToBeDone (#JTBD) to facilitate the two-way #negotiations between #leadership and #ProductTeams that allows for managing by #outcomes.

Learn why influencing #decisions that shape #strategy begins with facilitating and incorporating #feedback to #designs to drive #ProductVision forward. We will also look at best practices for articulating #DesignDecisions and how to conduct #DesignCritiques.

In this post, I make the case that #JobsToBeDone work as a great “exchange” currency to facilitate #strategy discussions around #value between #designers, #BusinessStakeholders, and #technology people, sharing some lessons I’ve learned on how to use the methodology to engage the #stakeholders and influence #BusinessDecisions that drive #ProductVision forward.

Writer and #GraphicDesigner #RayMasaki argues that a more #equitable and diverse future of #design will rely less on tools and technology and more on the #DesignDecisions made by #TypeDesigners.
Your next #iPhone may come with an #Apple logo, but the #EU is taking a more active hand in designing it. EU has made some decisions — some are small, some are large — meaning your iPhone is a little less Apple, and a little more flexible.

In this post, I talk about the need for creating visibility and traceability systems to capture and track the progress of the execution of #ideas by comparing desired outcomes with actual outcomes so that you can adjust your #strategic choices accordingly.

Let's talk about how we can facilitate #pivot and #RiskMitigation discussions while pursuing #ideas, what #methods, #tools, or techniques are available, and what signals we need to capture to know if we should #Persevere, #Pivot, or #Stop.

You know those random grooves you see on toothpicks sometimes?
The purpose is to break it at the centermost groove and use the other as a rest for the toothpick tip to be able to use it again (in the very near future, of course).
Who else knows about this? Or didn’t?
Testing Business Ideas thoroughly is a way to mitigate the #risks of your #viability #hypothesis being wrong.
Let's discuss the importance of finding objective ways to explore and (preferably) test #BusinessIdeas early – even before #designs – to inform if they are worth pursuing (or not).

In this post, I’ll focus on how to help teams facilitate investment discussions by finding ways to remove (or at least reduce) subjectivity when we compare, contrast, or debate the value of #ideas, approaches, and #solutions to justify the investment on them.

The effectiveness of the #team in making #GoodDecisions depends on their ability to generate #alternatives.
Let's discuss how #designers and #strategists can become skilled #facilitators who help teams create choices.
