Design can make a sale, and more importantly, design itself can be a product. In addition, Designers shouldn’t be the last group of people who get involved in the process of researching, producing, and promoting a product.

]]> Comment on Design Thinkers have become a critical element of business success by Connor Birch http://rgddesignthinkers.wordpress.com/2010/11/05/designthinkers-have-become-a-critical-element-of-business-success/#comment-3 Tue, 09 Nov 2010 12:29:39 +0000 http://rgddesignthinkers.wordpress.com/?p=34#comment-3 If we are to really go mainstream with Design Thinking to redesign businesses in their entirety, we need to stop talking about product design, and communications design in the same breath. Product Design, Communications Design, etc are important, and they are a component of Design Thinking applied to the business as a whole, but they are only a component, just like every other vital component of a business eg hiring process, office environment, and IT. We need to be clear, Designing is traditional design of things. Design Thinking is using the skills of the designer and applying it to a business as a whole.

If you notice around the globe people have choices. But now that people have this new power, the companies are going to have to realize this new change. Too stand out they will have to take risks and be confident that their designers will deliver. It takes strategy and research and that is what designers do and some companies do not realize that. They may not realize that more time is spend on problem-solving and using intuition to combat the results that they are looking for. Personally I think that is the best part of coming up with the design. Trying to be innovative and determined to come up with something that is different or will make a change. Design is suppose to be fun but with serious results. I think I got goosebumps ;p. Hope I get to check this out.
