What’s the difference?
We want our clients to get involved with the work we do. We want to make sure they understand what we’re saying. We want them to challenge what we’re saying, after all it’s their business and their customers we’re talking about.
The best workshops involve all sorts of people. Marketeers, product managers, programmers, designers, directors, legal representatives. We take pride in being able to involved and empathise with this range of stakeholders. Getting them to understand the products as their customers see them, and getting them to talk to each other to overcome difficulties.
Whiteboards, blu tack and digital cameras
Very often we’ll come up with design solutions before going into a workshop. The workshop is the opportunity for our client to challenge our designs. Sometimes we’re spot on. Often they may be large amounts of the interface that are working but changes need to be made based on technical constraints or legal requirements.
We’ll user whiteboards or bits of paper stuck to the wall with blu tack to draw alternative designs that meet both the needs of the users and the parameters of the client. We’ll use our digital cameras to keep a record of the decisions made.
