A Framework toEmbedDesign into a

Company's DNA


Lesson #10 : You have to plan the

time and space to be creative.


Lesson #9: You don’t need expensive

tools to create low fidelity prototypes.


Lesson #8: Share your vision before

asking people to do something.


Lesson #7: Make a clear definition of

the problem and the users.

Every team have to create a

tool to help grab a pin from a

bowl without getting hurt .

The users are :

#1: A blind person. (3 groups)

#2: An user with a kitchen glove. (3 groups)

#3: A 7 year old girl. (3 groups) (my user)


Lesson #6: Take the time to explain the rules.

First 20 min: Everybody at the group was free to create aprototype.

User’s Beta Test: Every group had to select 3 prototypes,show them to the user, and ask for feedback.

Last 10 min: The group made the adjustments to theprototypes and selected one to go to the final competitionagainst other groups. Then the prototypes are presented and the user chose thewinner.


Lesson #5: Encourage everybody to participate.


Lesson #4: Put a soul into your products.


Lesson #3: Test with real users and listen.


Lesson #2: Learn to negotiate with your

team and let the best idea win.

Mr. Potato


Lesson #1: It's all about if users like your

products or not.


...and Mr. Potato won!


The final and most important lesson is:

The users have the final decision over our

products, it's all about how we understand

their problems and how they can connect

with the products in a personal way.

For her, it wasn’t just a product, it was Mr.

Potato who helped her to grab the pins.
