Thought-provoking and valuable leadership away day on Tuesday. Focussing on:
💭 What do we want to achieve this year?
💭 How do we align with the organisation's goals?
💭 How can we improve collaboration?
Lots still to think about, lots of motivation to crack on with everything, lots of gratitude for being part of a fantastic team.

The most clever, original design I've come across for a while: on the Victorinox website, users can easily see how large a knife is by comparing it to common household items like an iPhone, a mug, or a wine bottle.
This makes it much easier for customers to make an informed decision about whether the product is right for them, without guessing or hunting for a tape measure. I'd bet Victorinox have fewer returns to process as a result too!
Looking for advice...
🙅🏻♀️ When you have stakeholders who don't understand design thinking, how do you approach that?
🤝 How do you help them understand the value of human-centered design?
💬 What methods do you use to influence people so they appreciate the process and allow time for it?
It's a battle I've fought in every organisation. It's important but tiring. Of course there's no magic solution but other perspectives are much appreciated!
@PavelASamsonov exactly times two!
I believe you should almost be trying to prove yourself wrong... if you can't, you can more confidently assume you must be right 🤓
Feeling a bit stuck with how to interpret your user research? I wrote another article for Catalyst., all about synthesis (a fancy word for understanding and turning that understanding into action!) 👇🏻

A day of ups and downs...
📈 Utterly brilliant team session: thinking about what we want to achieve for 2023, how we overcome blockers, which working relationships we want to improve, and other similar good stuff
📉 Tricky squad meeting: it's hard to articulate that designers can't always commit to concrete deliverable work, we need to understand, think, discuss — we don't 'just' sketch and prototype
Right, I need a cuppa 😅☕

Listen Asana, if anything deserves a unicorn it's checking-off all of my end of year reviews.
@JensJot that is a wonderful description! I've been to, and loved, Naples so this has just gone to the top of my list. Maybe it'll make me feel warmer and save on my energy bills too 😆
Thanks for a great recommendation.
