Defining strategic design is simple and complex at the same time. Because these terms are very loaded with meaning and ambiguous. Many people don&#8217;t realise that design is more than making things look better, it&#8217;s an attitude. The end result of design strategy could be as simple as improving how a service or product works or how something like a user journey should flow.&#8221; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8211; Christof<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe data-testid=\"embed-iframe\" style=\"border-radius:12px\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/episode\/1siPsHRnXzct11nWm3xpum?utm_source=generator\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameBorder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"\" allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"you-have-to-question-the-question\">You have to question the question<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;Most of the time clients have a specific question and certain expectations and the first thing I do is question the question.
