The Most Dangerous Thing for a Planner

NS
normalstory
cover image


The most dangerous thing for a planner
is getting used to templates (fitting their thinking to a form),

and the most dangerous thing for a designer
is getting used to tools (standardizing their expression).




A planner should not just find the right template for the purpose and fit their thinking into a fixed form — they should be able to find, compose, and concretize (as a form or diagram) thoughts that are unstructured, divergent, or not yet expressed.


A designer should, rather than optimizing for expressions inside Sketch or Figma, be able to propose a variety of solutions (channels) grounded in an understanding of the customer's (internal or external) situation and needs.




Just — so it goes.
