Polytechnicast - Being There When a Team is Starting Their Design Journey - Additional Thoughts About the Article
I wrote this article called Being There When a Team is Starting Their First Design Journey, my first Medium article. So many organizations in the recent 10+ years have asked: what if we explore if we should build something for our audience instead of just can we build something. They may not have intended to ask that question at the start, but they're asking this when they invite human centered design. Like I shared in the article "Even though UX design is becoming more common, the tools and skills of UX are not yet everywhere". Great opportunity for human centered...

Polytechnicast - Intentional Planner Tools
Two mini-worksheets I made recently in collaboration with Kate Shields Stenzinger help simplify describing the goals and projects you're working on. We call them the Intentional Planner Tools. The Goals and Actions planner is about reflection to help plan what's next combined with asking what you're big goals are for the next 5 years. Then the project concept and project status mini-worksheets help you collect those things you're building and sharing with the world and make it easy to describe why they're important to your audience. Both are available to download as PDFs.
