Integrating business and design thinking

I could swear that Lucy Kimbell used a similar slide in London at last week’s DMI (http://www.dmi.org) Conference, but anyway, a good starting point to understand the different foundations of Business versus Design. I might use the slide this Thursday for my lecture at the TU Delft course on Brand & Product Strategy (BPS).

About pitches

Our strategic and creative resources are our most valuable assets. We cannot afford to give them away for free.

We also know (from decades of experience) that the best work happens in a relationship with a committed client. We therefore do no longer take part in unpaid pitches. For paid pitches we have a set of guidelines that we’re happy to share if you ask nicely.

What we do offer to potential clients is a strategic analysis and a creative debrief, as shown in this illustration.

Designer Patrick Sung’s Universal Packaging System is a set of flat sheets of recyclable corrugated cardboard with patterns that make it easily foldable and fitted to any odd-shaped object. Since it fits anything perfectly, Sung’s concept packaging system eliminates most of the otherwise wasted space in a cardboard box which means saving extra shipping space and eventually, needing less trucks during shipping.

Isn’t this a great example of Design from Audi (1991) labeled Audi Quattro Spyder?! If they would release it today I’m pretty sure no one would recognize that the Design is almost 20 years old.

Hindsight bias—the irrational belief that past outcomes were predictable—is a well-understood psychological phenomenon. Our research suggests that this bias is becoming stronger, thanks largely to an abundance of visual information, including re-creations and simulations. But in measuring it, we’ve also discovered its near opposite, what we call the propensity effect: Visualization may also, in certain circumstances, make people hyperconfident of impending events’ outcomes.
