Human-Centered Design Dies at Launch

  • Accessibility, Customer Experience, Design, Design Theory, Empathy, Usability, UX Education, UX Magazine

Bad things happen as we stop solving people problems and start solving business problems

Article by Jesse Weaver
IDEAS IN BRIEF
Human-Centered Design Dies at Launch
  • Even though every designer considers their most important stakeholder, this might only be good on paper
  • The problem is that as a company moves through each phase of the design process, the organization’s incentives can fall farther out of alignment with the needs of the people using the product and align more with the needs of the business.
  • The author walks through each designing phase, using a ride-sharing app as an example:
    1. Initial concept development/MVP (people problem)
    2. Reach product/market fit (product problem)
    3. Scale up (business problem)
    4. Cash out (market problem)
