For most of that time, we’ve used ethnographic research and facilitation to help companies connect design and strategy to the realities of their customers’ lives. Our experience has taught us that the real work is bigger than research, strategy, design, management and innovation. We’ve seen that most challenges in business and life don’t boil down to straightforward “solutions,” because they involve too many people, too much culture, and plenty of dynamic complexity.
