Editor's Notes

  1. Formway Design uses many processes to uncover the need – Market, White paper, Expert consultation, Voice of the market, but in the tool that initially identified the need for BE was ‘voice of the customer’ interviewing. The result questioned how users really sitting throughout there day? What are they doing and what seated support is required? It was clear that many of the users we interviewed took postures other that the correct task seating postures…. But why and for how long?
