They debunk common misconceptions about human-centered design, emphasizing the need for research and the potential risks of not starting with it.

Quotes

• “The patterns are what we really specifically look for. So it's not about taking individualism within the research that we're trying to understand and uncover. It's about finding where those psychographics align with each other. Now those consumers or clients or customers of yours aren't gonna say it exactly the same way, but they're gonna articulate the same pain point or the same desire or the same need to be solved for.” 11:04
• “Okay, now that we know generally how this person acts in the world, what their income is, what their gender might be and maybe where they live and why they're living where they're living. What else do we need to know from them that's actually going to make an impact on how we define our offering as a company? And that's where then we go out into the world and we target those humans. We interview them. We live a day in the life of them. And the qualitative piece comes in.” 17:02
• “It's keeping a pulse on your competitors and your set. What are they doing? What is happening trend-wise beyond your industry? Just again, staying curious to what else is happening because as we all know, the world is changing so rapidly. And if you're not aware of how that's affecting people's driving behaviors or their why buys, you're gonna miss the opportunity to stay relevant with that.” 27:40
