When it's OK to skip discovery:
Discovery is often seen as fundamental to user-centred design. How could we possibly understand the problem without it? Here, our Head of Product, Martyn Evans , makes a case for 3 specific circumstances when ditching Discovery is not such a bad thing.
Rapid service blueprinting:
Service blueprints are a great way to map out and give a ‘birds eye’ view of what is happening behind the scenes during a customer journey or a user’s experience.

While they are a useful way to pinpoint challenges and opportunities with stakeholders and the delivery team for designing better solutions, they can also be time consuming. Especially when there is limited time to gather insights and get input from people internally to add to the map.
With this in mind, we’ve decided to share an example of how we have managed to do this quickly and efficiently when faced with this problem.
Prototyping to reduce risk:
Is risk an unavoidable part of innovation? It doesn't have to be.
Prototyping offers a way to manage that risk and make informed decisions. In this blog post, we explore how prototyping can help you test ideas, gain valuable feedback, and build products that truly resonate with your customers.
