Creating user-friendly interfaces is only a small part of what Design can bring<\/strong>…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the real benefits, it is important to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Investigate<\/strong>, interpret and visualize human truths
Facilitate <\/strong>sessions and surface under-represented perspectives
Guide experiments<\/strong> so that big decisions are rooted in reality<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Change is unavoidable<\/strong>

We are not going back to ‘business as usual’<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new normal is called ‘faster and faster disruption’. Instead of fighting change, let’s navigate and maybe even steer it<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Energetic young man with brilliant new ideas. It is always a pleasure to work with him and to see how he comes up with solutions. He works very fast but always keeps focused on the main topic. I can recommend working with Marius any time!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A real self-starter; and brings a lot of energy to the team. In the project we worked on he pro-actively sought out novel ways to solve the problems, and brings in a lot of interesting background. Plus, he’s eager to learn.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

I am Marius<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By working as an Experience Designer, I noticed the importance of enabling conditions and contributing factors (org structure, culture and routines) if Design is to happen consistently.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now my aim is to help a Large Organization climb the ‘maturity ladder<\/a>‘ and enjoy more of the ‘business benefits<\/a>‘ that Design can offer. Especially important after 2020<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to creating offerings that are pleasurable and easy to use, Designers sharpen an organization’s understanding of their user (the unstated needs, contexts, and daily routines).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By facilitating collaborative sessions, we steer creativity, account for under-represented perspectives and <\/strong>help different departments meet on common ground (through stories that connect and prototypes <\/strong>you can touch). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

We speed up the feedback loop, deliberately seek to be corrected and ensure that big decisions rely on human truths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
