T1 Activity Cards for User Participation in Product Design

Kirsten Bagger & Werner Sperschneider
Danfoss

Activity Cards display a variety of powerful tools for performing workshops with user involvement. A user workshop is a cost efficient tool to check both users and stakeholders understanding of a product, its customers, and its market. To make that work one needs to find appropriate ways of communicating with users. Activity Cards help the tutorial participants facilitate this process.

Tutorial goal                 

This tutorial teaches how to organise and facilitate a design workshop with users, customers and stakeholders. It aims at inspiring participants actively to facilitate a single workshop day by applying 15 activities in user participation. Participants will be able to use the methods and activities right away at home in their own project.

Intended audience

Researchers, product managers, product developers, business developers, sales and marketing. Relevance to the field                  Activity Cards for user participation are deeply rooted in the Scandinavian tradition of participatory design. The Danfoss User Centred Design Group has a longstanding and much appreciated experience in providing usability assistance for both internal and external businesses.
