Friends, designers, list members, the heated nit-picking discussion developing after the quite innocent original post comes slightly as a surprise to me. And a rather annoying one, that is.
For crying out loud: We're here to solve problems with/add value to products, services, etc. In other, more genereal words: we're here to improve human life. And I (probably accompanied by most other people in this world) just don't give a bloody damn fuck if you call your process in arriving at this improvement ‘Human Centered Design’ ‘User Centred Design’, or whatever ‘Blurbedy Bubbledy Design’ you may want to obsess yourself with. Why start bashing/defending some kind of methodology when the actual problem at hand seems *not* *even* *near* to chosing a methodology? Fussy nit-pickery is not going to get anybody _anywhere_ – in contrary. How about everybody just eliminates the obviously offending ‘User Centered’ from the original post. And we simply(?) start talking about _Design_, please. And how to *educate* businesses and other organisations about the benefits of adding it to their processes/value chain/…. Because exactly _that_ seems the actual point at question here. And probably everybody might profit somehow from getting it answered.
