These trends define design’s role in a much broader, strategic context than its roots: the making of things and beautiful things. Although that remains an important contribution, they will be a manifestation of a solution that may involve many different forms, including intangibles such as strategy and experiences. Among designers and educators, there has been an enthusiastic response to taking on these trends, although there is also anxiety about whether designers are adequately prepared to take on the broader context of the roles these trends imply for them.” (AIGA)

As user experience designers we aren’t content simply designing to specification. Instead, we ask questions; we take notes; we learn everything we can about our client and their audience—and that’s before we even begin! In this article, we explore the (purported) method to this (seeming) madness, appropriately known as design research.” (Andrew Maier via UX Booth) full article …

With each and every day more people have the power to change the world. You don’t need have to have a MBA degree to see that a lot of industries are currently approaching or at their inflection point. In fact it’s fair to say that so many industries are hitting their inflection point, that whole economies are approaching their inflection point. We’ve actually become so good at management that this has caused our whole economy to come close to an inflection point! (Which is not strange when you consider that our whole educational system is aimed at doing actually that.)

In an economy dominated by industries that are hitting their inflection point, you need people that challenge the old and explore the new. It’s about creating new value instead of maximizing the existing. Innovation in this era is driven by insights, not efficiency. You need people who can provide these insights and translate them into viable offerings.” Marc Fonteijn (via BogieZero) full article
