4. MOST CORPORATE STRATEGY
IS ACTUALLY REALLY BAD
• Too few and the wrong people involved in the process
• Too narrow of context and research
• Focused almost exclusively on quantitative data
• Performed or addressed only occasionally (3-5 years)
• Too often reactive, myopic, self-referential & self-fulfilling
• Not customer-centric
• Poorly communicated within the organization
• Poorly connected to day-to-day activities
• Most of all: little validation of assumptions
5. MOST CORPORATE STRATEGY
IS ACTUALLY REALLY BAD
• Environmental Analysis
• Competitive Analysis
• SWOT Analysis
• Positioning Statement
• Value Proposition
• Goals, Mission, Vision, Metrics
• Operational Infrastructure Strategy
• Product Development Strategy
• Marketing Strategy
11. IDEALLY, BETTER STRATEGY
IS BASED ON:
• A truly, cross-divisional, & collaborative process
• Proactively inviting you into that process
• An understanding of the value of design (qual) research
• Regular participation from leadership in customer-level
contact and research
• Deliverying value to customers and other stakeholders &
not only shareholders
• An openness to new opportunities that deliver more and
better value

Interaction Design Lessons from Science Fiction
by NATHAN SHEDROFF & CHRISTOPHER NOESSEL
foreword by Bruce Sterling
Many designers enjoy the interfaces seen in science fiction films
and television shows. Freed from the rigorous constraints of designing
for real users, sci-fi production designers develop blue-sky interfaces
that are inspiring, humorous, and even instructive. By carefully studying
these “outsider” user interfaces, designers can derive lessons that make
their real-world designs more cutting edge and successful.
“Designers who love science fiction will go bananas over Shedroff and Noessel’s delightful and
informative book on how interaction design in sci-fi movies informs interaction design in the real
world.... You will find it as useful as any design textbook, but a whole lot more fun.”
ALAN COOPER
“Father of Visual Basic” and author of The Inmates Are Running the Asylum
“Part futurist treatise, part design manual, and part cultural analysis, Make It So is a fascinating
investigation of an often-overlooked topic: how sci-fi influences the development of tomorrow’s
machine interfaces.”
ANNALEE NEWITZ
Editor, io9 blog
“Shedroff and Noessel have created one of the most thorough and insightful studies ever made
of this domain.”
MARK COLERAN
Visual designer of interfaces for movies (credits include The Bourne Identity, The Island, and Lara Croft: Tomb Raider)
“Every geek’s wet dream: a science fiction and interface design book rolled into one.”
