Brand Strategy & Universal Design
Brand is invaluable intangible corporate assets to every company.
Complete harmonization between brand images that users and the company have and the benchmark design is a crucial management task to satisfy users’ expectations toward the company. Collaborations with users enhance our concrete universal design-oriented support to brands.
Management & Universal Design
To an executive officer, introduction of the universal design concepts into the corporate management means the challenge to verify and re-establish their original management philosophy by returning to the start line about the spirit of the foundation and the industrial technology. A management philosophy focusing on each individual user will make your corporate activities much healthier.
Business & Universal Design
The strongest core business targeting the aging society market must be related with “health” and “usability” in design and product manufacturing. The process to produce universal design products promotes smooth absorption of universal design in the company.
Product Development & Universal Design
The core concept of universal design product development in a company should not focus on manufacturing universal design products only. Considerations on markets and environments where universal design products are supplied and clear explanation of objectives and concrete functions of universal design products assure creation of economic value.
Users’ Voices
The concept of customer satisfaction is still alive?
tripod design developed the design establishment method for planners and designers “Consciousness Level Shift.” The system is useful for analyzing customer satisfaction by users’ consciousness level and implementing successful design and product planning.
With this methodology, manufacturers and designers can offer superior social proposals of better design, by objectively and evenly judging what stages users’ experiences and consciousness are on.
Design Assurance
Do you have a design evaluation index?
All designs are influenced by their ambiguity, unknown problems, and defects that are inherent in design. It is certain that a product or environment designed for specific people produces a great number of people who have difficulty in using it. Of course, we think that there is no only one standard product that can satisfy all users.
It is important, however, for companies and designers to execute close monitoring to avoid another social discrimination or exclusion of specific people from their product users. When a company can provide design assurance for design and manufacturing, the products and the company itself win reliability in the market where diverse users live.
It is Important to Understand Users and Have a Dialog with Them
Establishment of original user research method and product development process enhances the universal design business structure of a company.
Universal Design Is Not Completed by Producing a Product Only.
Only development of a universal design product cannot result in success in marketing of the universal design product in an actual market.
As for marketing of universal design products, it is very important to establish routes and channels to deliver the products to diverse users smoothly and provide services, information and space corresponding to the universal design concepts.
