      Eva Penzeymoog is joining me on the show today. Eva is a lead designer for Eight-Light and is based in the windy city, Chicago. One of my favourite cities. We connected recently over Twitter after I became aware of her work that’s related to the interconnected relationships between smart devices and domestic violence. Now, we go into the contextual examples of how these so-called smart devices can be used to evoke various types of traumas. We speak openly about researching in and around people with trauma and how to protect yourself if you’re a designer and a researcher. Something that is a topic that is very close to my heart and something that I’ve actually spoken about publicly in the past.

            Today, I’m here with Phil Laufenberg, he’s the CEO at Practera, an education software company in Sydney, Australia. 
            We’re discussing a quote that has been touted around in the product management circles for as long as I’ve been a product manager. That, my friends, is a really long time, it’s close to 20 years.  The quote is by Henry Ford, I’m sure most of you would have heard this quote before, it says, “If I’ve asked people what they wanted, they would have said a faster horse.” Now, there’s so much that we can talk about that, so let’s get started.

              Hello, and welcome to Power of Ten, a podcast about designing and operating at many levels, from thoughtful detail through to organisational transformation, to the changes in society in the world.  My name is Andy Polaine, a designer, educator, and writer, and currently group director of client evolution at Fjord. The meta-theme this year for the Fjord trends was 'value'. I was excited to see that InVision, a company whose tools and platform many of our designers use, published their report about the design maturity model.

                    In this episode, we really focus on what a service is and what a service is not.  Now, it might seem like a simple question, but the answer is not straight forward, as we discuss.  I have a copy of Majid’s book to give away.  To be in with a chance, make sure you’re on the This is HCD newsletter, so just go over to the website and sign up.  Anyway, let’s get straight into the conversation with Majid.
