Wish this existed when I worked at Parthenon.

Love this. And from an employee engagement perspective, the walkabouts must be working wonders.

[joshswong]

Deep immersion

How do you observe how people interact with systems and structures that don’t exist yet? How do you uncover unidentified needs? How do you fundamentally look around the corner rather than connect the dots in retrospect?

In Colombia, taxi meters show numbers (not the fare) that you then have to match to a fare based on a table at the end of your trip. In theory, conversion tables should be on the back of seats, but in practice, that's not always the case.
