Visualization of different ways of thinking about and solving complex problems.

Article by Houda Boulahbel
A linear thinker, a design thinker and a systems thinker walk into a bar…
  • The author provides a vivid example to demonstrate the differences between various types of thinking — linear, design, and systems.
    • Linear thinking divides the problem into smaller sections, addressing each one independently.
    • The search for the best solution starts with the user’s needs and behavior in the search for design thinking.
    • With a focus on interactions and relationships between things, systems thinking adopts a more comprehensive perspective.
  • We place a lot of emphasis on linear thinking as a society. The author believes that the key to the most effective solutions lies within all three types combined.

    • Better сontextualization of data.
    • Reliability partners for sourcing data.
    • Accuracy of routes and shortcuts for pedestrians.

A framework to take organizations from output to outcome focused product metrics.

Article by Sol Mesz
The Full Loop Analytics Framework

A few months ago, while creating a metrics dashboard for a client I had an epiphany: “if a product is only viable when User, Product and Business are equally present (thinking of the product triad), how come most of the existing frameworks focus on isolated parts of the trilogy?”

I created a framework for considering all 3 parts of the equation:

  1. Key Experience Indicators measure the relationship between User and Product, understanding product performance as a result of user satisfaction.
  2. Key Performance Indicators measure the impact of product performance on business results. In other words, KPIs look at product metrics in terms of business results.
  3. Key Business Indicators measure how user experience impacts business results.

This way fo measuring performance:

  • provides a holistic view of product performance,
  • makes sure that improvements in one area don’t have a negative impact on others,
  • and ensures that everybody is thinking in outcomes (company-wide results) rather than outputs (individual metrics)

Read the full article below for information on each triad, how I created the framework, and ways of applying it to your organization.
