The One Thing That Makes—or Breaks—Your Strategic Retreat

Peter Plumeau

The real driver of meaningful strategy isn’t a better process—it’s whether people care enough to make the work matter.

What is human-centered?

Human-centered design is an established approach that considers the multiple layers of human experience while problem solving, focusing on the unmet needs of the customers or constituents you are serving.

Design thinking embraces an iterative creative process.
It supports the refinement of multiple solutions through iterative change and testing versus a solution created with a one-and-done approach.
