Designing with Data: Unlocking data potential in human-centered design

Since few decades designers’ decisions are based on feedback and information provided by users; in the last few years, with the growth of the digital wave, we had to make a step further and consider to include in our process data coming from the world of analytics. Thinking how we could use these data and how we could integrate them in our process, became the new challenge, driven by the desire to deliver to user innovative and fulfilling experiences.
The experience acquired working with data in the last few years has been used to pack a 3-hour workshop in which participants will be guided through the steps of a methodology that will help them to turn insights extracted from data into compelling new products and services. The aim of this session is to push participants to reconsider their way of designing, using an approach that exerts data-driven design methods to improve user experience, resource management and company’s revenues, with the final goal of designing a “minimum viable Living Service” powered by data.
