But that doesn’t mean Norman isn’t critical of the direction of Silicon Valley’s powerhouse companies often celebrated for merging technology and design. In a casual, stream-of-consciousness conversation with Co.Design, Norman dissected what’s wrong with Apple, Google, Microsoft, and, as a little bonus we pushed for, Tesla.

APPLE—FOCUSED ON AESTHETICS OVER FUNCTIONALITY

In 2015, Norman penned a scathing review of Apple’s design. We asked if he’d seen the company improve since then.

“I think Apple’s products have gotten worse, not better.

Retail Trends ai quali forse non hai ancora pensato

AICEX: 3 cose ci hanno incuriosito. 1) essere piccoli sarà un vantaggio 2) gli uomini spendono più delle donne 3) la spesa condivisa complicherà le attività di analisi dei dati e dei programmi loyalty. 

Trends, like rainstorms, can be fairly easy to predict. You look at the current conditions on the radar screen, consider their proximity and can pretty much nail where and when the rain will fall.

This goes for retail events as well as the weather. Consumers increasingly use their mobile devices in the shopping process. They expect more personalized, relevant shopping experiences. They research online and purchase in-store. These practices and preferences have been steadily advancing, so it is easy to predict and prepare for the continuing trends.

However, it’s those events that are just under the radar, those freak storms that come from nowhere, that tend to have a more lasting effect. These under-the-radar trends are also occurring in retail, but with less notice.

Digital and Human Customer Support

AICEX: ci piace l’esempio dell’automotive. Perchè andare in concessionaria quando ancora non ho deciso di comprare l’auto?

The more we adopt self managed, digital channels which optimise our expectations for ‘always there’, real time delivery, we are also rediscovering the expectation for human engagement when it matters. We are complex in our needs and so customer relationships are tricky in terms of striking the right balance.

Therefore effective omni-channel design is an engagement experience that works in any given customer situation. Here’s one example.

Even though John Lewis is recognised for their online successes, they still keep their eyes focussed on what matters to their customers. For instance, online sales grew by 17% in their latest financial year, with m-commerce up by 34%. However they also spotted that their online sales go up in areas where they open a new shop. This is how John Lewis chairman Sir Charlie Mayfield explained the effect.

“Our results were very much a result of the effective combination of shops and online, demonstrated by the fact that more than three-quarters of our customers made a purchase from one of our shops,” Continua a leggere “Come bilanciare il Customer Service tra Human e Digital” →

Perchè il caffè freddo costa più del caldo?

AICEX: Il prezzo delle cattive Esperienze: una signora ha chiesto 5 Milioni di Dollari di danni a Starbucks per il troppo ghiaccio nel caffè.

There’s A Good Reason Why Iced Coffee Costs More Than Hot
Yes, iced coffee seems expensive. But if it’s real and good, the price tag may be warranted

Yes, it’s annoying: You walk into a coffee shop on a hot day, order an iced coffee, and then are dismayed to learn that the transaction neared—if not eclipsed—$6. For just a cup of coffee.

If the economics of cold coffee have disturbed you, you’re not the only one. Earlier this week, a woman sued Starbucks for putting too much ice in her iced coffee cups, thereby giving customers less product. She’s asking for $5 million.
