Two Types of DesignConcrete design: what most people think of when they think about design. What a thing looks like and how it operates.
Abstract design: What a thing is. What problem is it solving? Where and why will people use it?

How – Build a Chain of Whys
Understand Critique Shape
Ask why constantly
What parts of the chain seem like weak links? Where is the user not considered?
Do user research and suggest new chains

How – Build Trust
Jim Laing – Upselling UX – @jhlaing
Understand Critique Shape
•Don’t be an expert•Empathize with your stakeholders

In Summary
•Strategy and design are the same thing – you already have the tools you need•Without being engaged in strategy, you can’t create great experiences•Concrete design and usability testing are the thin end of the wedge•Engagement with strategy moves from understanding to critiquing to helping shape•Along the way, build a chain of whys and constantly build trust
