I'm a fan, think of all the CoC improvements that could be made...Contrary to popular belief, design is not primarily about artistic skill, creativity or making thing "look pretty."The core competencies of design are a powerful problem solving framework that can be applied to any situation.Master these to be a top 1% problem solver: 🧵 👇🏼1. Design explores the problem context to open more paths to a successfulsolution.Before jumping to solutions, design requires a thorough exploration of the problems context. This provides significant information and insight2. Design frames and focuses the original problem statement.Understanding the complexity of the problem, design frames the nature of the problem it is choosing to solve, focusing ideas and resources on what really matters.3. Design uses different levels of abstraction to navigate problem solving.For example, an architect starts with simple bubbles to think through functional arrangements before drawing specific floor plans. And they switch back and forth throughout the project.4. Design selects and arranges form to embody ideas and communicate value.This is what design is most popularly known for - using shape, color, fonts, materials, composition, etc., to make things look good and work well.5. Design simulates solutions before they existModeling brings ideas to life long before all the technical issues can be worked through.This enables evaluation of the solution before significant investments are committed to its realization.6. Design creates value as pieces are integrated into the wholeEvery solution encounters new issues and requirements as it moves through development.Design freely iterates the solution to accommodate the new requirements throughout the process.7. Design is concerned with having things work well for people, in specific contexts.Design considers the solution from a persons' point of view. Is it easy to learn and comfortable to use? Does it work well within the environment it is used in?Your quick cheat sheet:Design's Core Competencies• Explores the problem context• Frames and focuses on a key problem• Uses different levels of abstraction• Selects and arranges form for purpose• Simulates solutions before they exist• Ensures things work well for people in contextwww.linkedin.com/posts/chrisvconley_contrary-to-popular-belief-design-is-not-activity-69312641002... ...
