Designing Tomorrow Last Friday I received the latest book from Martin Tomitsch and Steve Baty called "Designing Tomorrow - Strategic Design Tactics To Change Your Practice, Organisation & Planetary Impact" and it's awesome! Congratulations Martin and Steve for a great work! It summarises most of the things that I've been learning over almost 3 years in one book, with a lot examples and recommendations. The illustrations are beautiful, with very useful diagrams. If you only have time to read one book, this is the one! KEY TAKEAWAYS: (from their website as I'm still reading it) 💡 Understand the value of implementing a life-centred approach to innovation for your organisation. 💡 See the larger systems within which the things we design exist.  💡 Identify unintended consequences and learn how to envision futures. 💡 Establish impactful partnerships and find out how to get buy-in for responsible innovation. 💡 Drive a positive impact by building small one-percent changes into your practice. https://lnkd.in/egG8x--f #designingtomorrow #designingthefuture #strategicdesign #changemakers #designforchange #sutainability

This year, I decided to change that, but I struggled to add it to the one thousand and one things I was already doing. Then, 2 weeks ago, Gabriella Echebiri posted about starting a book club. Joining felt like the perfect push I needed to jumpstart my design reading goal. At #ReadWithGabriella, we tackle chunky books by breaking them into smaller weekly and daily goals, then meet weekly to discuss our takeaways. Last week, we dove into "The Design of Everyday Things" by Don Norman Here are the insights I gathered; => Good design starts with understanding people and their needs, not the other way around. => Users should be able to figure out what a product does and how to use them. => Design elements should communicate possible actions (affordances), guide users (signifiers), and limit errors (constraints). => Users need to know their actions are being recognized and understood. Feedback is essential! => Design flaws, not user error, are the reason behind user frustration. I hope you learned a thing or two. P.S. Have you read this book? How long did it take to complete it? #ReadWithGabriella #Techbooks #Designbyeverydaythings

At Align By Design I and Sirisha spend a lot of time thinking and discussing about alignment - what is needed to build it, why do organizations struggle with it, what is different about aligned organizations. I try to summarize some of our discussions into summary notes that will eventually become source material for some future book. I am planning to share some of these notes here to see if they resonate and get an early dip stick on whether you agree with them or not.
