Do you want to know the secret of Design?

Meet Laurent, a colleague and friend I know since more than 5 years and one of the best designers I ever met. His passion for a concept and his love to detail is extraordinary and a one-minute video can’t tell you a lot. But… you get a good impression about design in a business context.

Why Design Thinking Is The Future Of Sales

If you’re a sales rep, you know you need to up your game and become more innovative. Sales teams are recognizing the value of incorporating a design thinking approach into their daily activities

Why limit Design Thinking at all? It should be embraced and applied in all kind of challenges. But please do it right. This turns out to be the most important part of Design Thinking as it is very often misunderstood as a workshop method.

Thanks for having me at the Bosch UX-Mas event.

How can you create more awareness for UX and Design Thinking topics? Bosch AE (Automotive Electronics) Reutlingen invited me to give an inspiring talk about the Mercedes-AMG project as well as how the SAP AppHaus is running their projects.

They created a great UX-Mas event with a UX session, food & drinks (for sure with some Glühwein as well). It was a pleasure to be there and thanks to the team for organizing such an event.

I really like the concept of SAP's Inscribe. This is a cool way to go on how to interact with software in the future!

Artificial Intelligence in Paradise?

Love the concept of “Working in Paradise” with great experiences and it sounds as easy as it is. Again, a group of passionate UX-Experts from various companies gathered in Mallorca to combine our thoughts about the role of the designer in the upcoming era of artificial intelligence.

Thanks to all the cool people and the great and focused cooperation.

(sorry, German only).

SAP Design AppHaus in Korea: Cultural Transformation

At the SAP Design AppHaus in Korea, colleagues are on first-name terms, using titles is off-limits. Visitors learn how they can change their work culture.

Culture Eats Digital Transformation for Lunch.   Read this story about my colleagues in the AppHaus Korea, one of our 5 locations all over the world. It is interesting how important cultural aspects are and how they influence the company culture.

Google+ is shutting down and my test comes to an end.

Hi my fellow followers, you may have heard that G+ is shutting down latest in August 2019 and with it my “Virtual and Augmented Reality”…

Sad to see you leave…

Artificial Intelligence for Designers. I like the concept very much and the next step could be a projector to give back some information directly on the whiteboard😉.

Does anyone like to join me on a 6-month trip? It is only for #SAP colleagues, but we are already about 96,000 ;-)

Bomb Warning in the SAP Design Apphaus!

If you are hosting an IoT Workshop you must inform all colleagues especially the cleaning personnel. They found some strange electronics and the facility stuff thought it is a bomb 😉.

Finally, it is only a prototype to measure the temperature and the humidity of the coffee machine to get some environmental data for the workshop.

Personas make you stupid – Noteworthy - The Journal Blog

What if we stopped putting people in contained boxes and acknowledged the variety of attributes that make up a human?

As a Designer you always (or at least should) work with Personas. But is this still the right approach or do we need to enrich or change our knowledge? I like the approach in this article from Michelle Gilmore about Persona-based thinking vs. behavioral profiling.  #ux #uxdesign #UserExperience #personas #enduser

Design Thinking & Coach Camp: The Best Of Both Worlds

Early August, the SAP Design AppHaus hosted a different kind of workshop experience: A Design Thinking (DT) and a Coach Camp in one event…

Happy and sad to see the last article from my intern Anna-Maria Ihle, writing about her experiences organizing and supporting a Design Thinking Coach Camp at the SAP Design AppHaus. 

Anna, you did a great job and I wish you all the best in London. 

For everybody who likes to work with me on cool projects, stay tuned as we are soon looking for new interns 😉
