🚀 Controversial take: #DesignThinking might be holding #ProductDiscovery back.

Why? They treat #conceptdesign as a separate phase, but that's a missed opportunity.

Integrating concept design into product discovery is a game-changer. It:

✅ Enhances your ability to visualize future user experiences.
✅ Improves decision-making and stakeholder alignment.
✅ Fosters a shared vision among your team.

'Dubbed DrivAerNet++, the dataset encompasses more than 8,000 car designs, which the engineers generated based on the most common types of cars in the world today. Each design is represented in 3D form and includes information on the car’s aerodynamics — the way air would flow around a given design, based on simulations of fluid dynamics that the group carried out for each design.'

This new generation of tools erases many of the excuses used to avoid involving developers and exploring ideas in code during the “design phase” of an effort. In fact, you can create a functioning prototype of an idea in the time it would take you to draw 4 rectangles in Figma. Sure, the window dressing might not be perfect, but there are really no excuses left for code to not be a key part of the design process.

Brad Frost · The already-here future of prototypingI've spent pretty much my entire career helping teams design software rather than pictures of software. Development is design. Frontend design. Front-of-front-end code. Front-end workshop environments. Death to the waterfall. The Hot Potato process. Designer/developer collaboration. Pattern Lab. I'

Nearly all business software, at its peril, is dreadfully afraid of having an opinion about how its users should do their jobs.

The principal reason is that it does not confidently understand its users jobs better than they do (a pursuit that should be required of a company designing software to help with a job, in my opinion) and is therefore ill equipped to recommend better.

Imagine the world if understanding the fields we purport to help was so elevated as to actually have a chance of improving them.
