🧔🏽 ABOUT GRANT 

Design is my approach, alignment is my goal. Projects and events have been the common threads of my work over the past 24 years; in #startups, #running, and #robotics. I believe in leveraging #diversity as a place to start, working shoulder-to-shoulder with passionate people on projects we believe in, and continuously creating relationships all along the way.

💡 Affordances refer to the knowledge imbued in design tools like knobs and handles that make them easy to use.🛠️ When building tools, it's important to consider affordances and create obvious features for users.#design #affordances #usability

Personas are incredible design tools. They help us:

👤 Better understand our ideal customers or users

🎯 Target ads, copy, and images to the right audience

🧐 Conduct research and iterate to refine who we're going after

By creating personas, we start a process of research that gets better with testing and iteration.

They aren't just for swimming pools. 🏊‍♀️

🤔 They're a great tool to understand processes and connections over time and use cases

🔍 By mapping out different steps and crossing over between lanes, you can see the journey, touch points, and overlaps in one diagram

💬 Use the swim lanes to drive discussions and inform business cases, like new product launches

#swimlanes #processmapping #businessstrategy

They help us understand the CX

🔎 Different methods can be used to collect data for the journey mapping process

🤔 Once data is collected, brainstorming sessions can begin to create multiple mappings

🌍 Different overlays can be used, such as revenue or touch points, to provide contextual information

#journeymapping #userjourneys #customerjourneys

🔍 Start with bits of info & group them logically

👨‍💼 Apply new groupings & repeat to get group topics

🤝 Alternatively, group topics ahead of time & fit info in

🤓 Both methods teach valuable lessons about the info

A good operations person goes beyond tasks and timelines

📝 They ask the team what has been missed and gather feedback

🤝 They run meetings that encourage collaboration and openness

🚌 They make sure everyone is on board and heading in the same direction

Do you have a good operations person on your team?
