Peter Boersma puts forward another caricatured oversimplification of what actually occurs. It's difficult to respond to it without being drawn into unproductive and uninteresting argumentation, so I'll just let his comment stand for what it is.
In my opinion, Jim, the reason why you're seeing these "caricatured oversimplifications" is that we're all struggling here trying to understand the essence of what you're talking about.
The people involved in this conversation: Peter, Robert, Marc, Todd, Christian, David, and myself represent a substantial amount of experience doing design with 100+ years between us. (Others involved in the discussion, such as Yury and Jonas, probably also have a lot of experience. I just don't know them as well.)
If we're not *getting* how this method is different from your explanations, it might be because there's still some important, critical piece that's missing from the discussion.
I've read through your comments multiple times and others have said they've done the same. Yet, there's still confusion over how this is more than just really-smart-and-experience-people-doing-good-work. You, yourself, said it isn't as much a method as it is a "philosophy" or "approach". Other than a label you've put on your own working style, what is really the repeatable, scalable element here?
I'm just not getting how this is different than what we've already got, just with the addition that you've thought about it a lot (which is clear) and seem to have a way of transferring it to other designers.
In other words, is there a 'there' there? Jared Jared M.
