If you truly want simplicity...
CORPORATE-CENTERED DESIGN
Every hour, dollar, and ounce of energy
and focus that is expended ensuring
that your rules, tools and processes
help make the organization more efficient
and effective in meeting its goals and
in mitigating risks...
Must be matched with the same amount
of hours, dollars, energy, focus,
studying and designing for what individuals
want and need to be their best.
For most organizations:
Training and development, process design,
rules, tools and all of IT infrastructure still
lag way behind in this 50/50 match.
USER-CENTERED DESIGN

If you truly want simplicity...ᕤ
Why is this so crucial?
Because everything everywhere
is being disrupted hourly.
Every rule and process you
design to manage things or
to mitigate risks will be
outdated before it is launched
and causing tons of complexity
for those who must implement
those rules and processes.
