La centralità del cliente vince sull’innovazione

AICEX: la centralità delle persone si sposa più con il design, l’usabilità, gli spazi fisici e il buon senso piuttosto che con algoritmi e robot. Ecco perchè l’intelligenza artificiale sarà vincente solo se utilizzata a servizio delle persone.

Innovation might be the buzzword on everyone’s lips but customer and design centricity is what will win the day with customers according to Gartner.

This is despite innovation diving in hard, with chatbots and artificial intelligence joining the fray.

Part of it is getting more return on investment (ROI) from their research and development dollars claimed Brian Prentice, vice president, research, Gartner.

Apple for example, spends a fraction of R&D compared to Samsung, but their market capitalisation is higher and they seem to have a higher degree of customer satisfaction and loyalty than Samsung does,” said Prentice.

Experience Design: Il racconto di un Designer LEGO

AICEX SUMMARY: Every product, whether it may seem like it or not, is a service of some kind, and needs to be considered holistically within the user’s journey

At 5am on a cold, misty morning, my plane tumbled to a stop in a strange land where I didn’t speak a word of the language. I was about to embark on one of the best (and most bizarre) adventures I’d had so far — working as a designer at LEGO HQ in Denmark.

I was fresh-faced, just a few weeks after finishing university, and about to be thrown into the deep end of my first real design job.

Over the course of my time there, I would work on a secret project, a real life ‘LEGO House’ — a 12,000 square metre new spiritual home for the cult brand, standing 23 metres tall. The ‘House’ was to be filled with slightly surreal digital and physical experiences showing the values and future vision for LEGO.
