design strategies
card set
The Tech Design Strategies Card Set is the perfect tool for brainstorm sessions, workshops and co-creation sessions. The 37 cards with Design Strategies offer inspiration and help you make decisions regarding your product’s positioning.
Most successful tech products rely on two or three Design Strategies from the “strengthen benefits cards”, while other design strategies play a supporting role. Combining too many strategies will muddle your product’s positioning and confuse consumers. In short, choose wisely and keep it simple.
To minimize consumer resistance against your tech product, you should strive to incorporate as many of the Tech Design Strategies on the “Mitigate Resistance cards” as possible. They become increasingly powerful when applied in combination with each other.
