Product description

 

Knowing your users stimulates your imagination and helps you create more exciting and effective design solutions. But there is a problem: the normal conception of ’the user‘ is incomplete and based on outdated notions. These notions of simple, direct relationships between people and products are no longer valid in today’s complex, technologically interconnected world.

This fun and practical toolkit with a book and a set of cards will change the way readers think about users. 'Rethinking Users' introduces a radical new approach that questions some of our most fundamental ideas about the nature of user experience. It points to new opportunities to create products and services that help users in new ways.

The toolkit includes a paperback and a deck of user archetype cards and step-by-step team activities for unlocking new user-centred thinking and design inspiration. For designers, design researchers, strategists, innovators, product managers and entrepreneurs in almost any field. 

If you would like to buy in bulk, you can enjoy a special discount on orders over 10 copies. Starting from 15% off. Please contact us at [email protected].

I read Rethinking Users and loved it even though I am not a designer. This book is an excellent contribution to my understanding of the concept of the User in design, and above the user ecosystem. I recommand Rethinking Users to designers and to all entrepreneurs and product & service managers.
