Mạng những trang web thất bại thường bắt nguồn từ việc thiếu quyết định rõ ràng, chứ không phải thiết kế. Đội nhóm có thể chỉnh sửa liên tục nhưng lại bỏ qua những câu hỏi gốc: "Ai là người dùng?" "Vấn đề gì được giải quyết?" "Khách hàng cần hành động gì?" Khi thiếu câu trả lời, website trở thành mục tiêu dời dạc, tốn thời gian. Ngược lại, quyết định rõ từ đầu giúp website tiến nhanh và hoàn thiện hơn. #WebDesign #ThiếtKếWebsite #SaaS #SựThấtBại #QuyếtĐịnhKinhDoanh #BusinessDecisions #WebsiteFai

If AI agents start deciding for users, who fights for the guardrails? Principles fail—workflows win.

Your duty: Advocate where autonomy meets risk. Who's with me?

Làm sao ra quyết định đúng khi làm việc đơn độc? Nhiều founder tự hỏi: Dựa vào trực giác hay cấu trúc? Ghi ý tưởng ra hay suy nghĩ trong đầu? Làm sao tránh suy nghĩ quá độ khi không có ai tham khảo? #DoanhNhan #QuyetDinhKinhDoanh #LamMe #Entrepreneur #BusinessDecisions

Big moves in the tech world today! Cybersecurity firm Wiz has decided to blaze its own trail, turning down a massive $23 billion takeover bid from Alphabet. With eyes now set on an IPO and a $1 billion annual recurring revenue, Wiz is definitely a company to watch! What do you think about their bold decision to stay independent? #TechNews #Cybersecurity #BusinessDecisions #Wiz #Alphabet

Does anyone else see the word 'influencer' to describe an individual 🙄 - and go the other way as fast as possible?

Maybe I am a cynic - although I think I am a seasoned pragmatist 😉 - but I find them as useful in a profession/business/technical setting as, say, someone spouting #businesspeak (i.e., not at all)

Engineers, don't underestimate your role in business decisions. You're a natural problem solver, and to solve problems well, you need to understand them fully. 🕵️‍♂️ #BusinessDecisions #ProblemSolving

#ThoughtLeadership is about going beyond just having #ideas and being the driving force behind them. It challenges #leadership paradigms and creates #trends rather than follows them. In this piece, I will explain how combining thought leadership with other #design and #strategy #skills can help #designers influence the #businessdecisions that guide #productvision forward. https://www.designative.info/2023/08/22/building-thought-leadership-essential-skills-designers-strategists/ #designstrategy

In this blog post, we will take a closer look at how #trust is built in #AIpowered products. Disclaimer: this article is based on my 25 years of experience as an #interactiondesigner rather than coming from an #AI expert. I believe that the principles of #trustbuilding for #ArtificialIntelligence are comparable to those applied by #designers and #strategists when engaging with #stakeholders, so my references come from #designstrategy and #businessdecisions literature. https://wp.me/p6F0o-jcn

@chadloder @mmasnick I'm starting to believe a Neuralink experiment had gone horribly wrong.

#businessdecisions #gonewrong

I worked on #innovation projects for many companies for over 25 years and observed that people vary widely regarding their ability to handle #uncertainty and #ambiguity.

In this post, I cover techniques to build #EmotionalResilience as an individual and some #facilitation techniques to help #teams deal with uncertainty and ambiguity.

Let me show you how to use #JobsToBeDone (#JTBD) to facilitate the two-way #negotiations between #leadership and #ProductTeams that allows for managing by #outcomes.

Learn why influencing #decisions that shape #strategy begins with facilitating and incorporating #feedback to #designs to drive #ProductVision forward. We will also look at best practices for articulating #DesignDecisions and how to conduct #DesignCritiques.

In this post, I make the case that #JobsToBeDone work as a great “exchange” currency to facilitate #strategy discussions around #value between #designers, #BusinessStakeholders, and #technology people, sharing some lessons I’ve learned on how to use the methodology to engage the #stakeholders and influence #BusinessDecisions that drive #ProductVision forward.

In this post, I argue that – while #Designers or #Strategists are not expected to fully manage #DesignProjects in their area of responsibility, some #ProjectManagement #skills will prove invaluable for their effectiveness.

In this post, I talk about the need for creating visibility and traceability systems to capture and track the progress of the execution of #ideas by comparing desired outcomes with actual outcomes so that you can adjust your #strategic choices accordingly.

Let's talk about how we can facilitate #pivot and #RiskMitigation discussions while pursuing #ideas, what #methods, #tools, or techniques are available, and what signals we need to capture to know if we should #Persevere, #Pivot, or #Stop.

Testing Business Ideas thoroughly is a way to mitigate the #risks of your #viability #hypothesis being wrong.

Let's discuss the importance of finding objective ways to explore and (preferably) test #BusinessIdeas early – even before #designs – to inform if they are worth pursuing (or not).

In this post, I’ll focus on how to help teams facilitate investment discussions by finding ways to remove (or at least reduce) subjectivity when we compare, contrast, or debate the value of #ideas, approaches, and #solutions to justify the investment on them.

In a previous post, I argued that #designers need #skills to become business-savvy #analysts and synthesizers if they want to influence #strategy, and I suggested four: #ThoughtLeadership, #facilitating #DecisionMaking, #ProjectManagement, and #StakeholderManagement.

In this post, I argue why Thought Leadership is critical for designers to become good #strategists who are better prepared to influence #BusinessDecisions.

#DesignStrategy #Facilitation #TrustBuilding

In this post, I talk about the need for a set of #tools for #Quantifying and #Qualifying #strategy that both empowers #intuition and #creativity, but also helps #teams find objective ways to assess the #value of #ideas and #designsolutions to justify the investments in them.

The Objectives and Key Results (#OKRs) method have caught on across #startups, large #enterprises, and #NonProfits. If you’re considering adopting OKRs, you better know when and how its simplicity can be deceptive and what some common gotchas are.

What slows progress and wastes the most time on #projects is confusion about the goals or which things should come before which other things.

In this post, we will talk about how #prioritization can help us focus on what is important, steering us closer to our #vision and #goals.

The effectiveness of the #team in making #GoodDecisions depends on their ability to generate #alternatives.
