A Key Concept from My Book
Continuous discovery is about more than just tactics. It requires that we adopt new mindsets. We need to be:
✅ Outcome-oriented: We need to shift from valuing outputs to valuing the impact those outputs have for our customers and our business
✅ Customer-centric: We need to remember that the purpose of a business is to create and serve a customer.
✅ Collaborative: We need to embrace a model where we make team decisions leveraging all the expertise and knowledge that we each bring to those decisions.
✅ Visual: We need to step beyond the comfort of spoken and written language and tap into our immense power as spatial thinkers.
✅ Experimental: We need to learn to think like scientists, identifying assumptions and gathering evidence.
✅ Continuous: We need to move away from a project mindset and realize digital products are never done.
