Abstract: | How does your company go about designing new products and processes? Companies need to take a holistic approach to design, an approach that begins with examining purposes and focuses on what a design group is trying to accomplish rather than getting bogged down with data about the existing product's problems. Building purpose hierarchies is such an approach. |
