7. Homework
#VDS2020
@Design4AHS
The problem is:
Service coordinators require
(re)training on client-obsessed
strategies, however the current
training environment does not
support the face-to-face,
interactive group training on call
quality where s/cs can practice
and hone the skills needed to
positively interact with
clients/caregivers over the phone.
The problem is:
Face-to-face interaction is
the best way to train our
staff and is currently not
possible.
8. Homework
#VDS2020
@Design4AHS
The problem is that people with type 2
diabetes don’t have enough access to the
foot care they need.
Pharmacists are ideally positioned to
provide annual foot care exams but it may
not be feasible.
9. Homework
The problem is that communication between medical staff
and the public needs to be better.
- Medical staff can’t communicate with the public?
- Public can’t understand what medical staff are saying?
- The public are always misunderstanding medical staff?
- The public doesn’t listen to medical advice?
- What problem will being better fix?

Book tip
The Mom
Test
by Rob
Fitzpatrick
Never ask: ‘Would you…’.
People tend to answer what you
like to hear, and they can’t
predict the future.
2.
Ask about past behaviour. This
gives you facts.3.
Always ask ‘Why, why, why…’.
Get as specific as possible,
understand customers’ goals
and actions.
4.
Interviews: 🔑🔑 things to know…
26. Problem statement 🎯🎯
We [insurance company]
need to increase our
pension-product
market share among
pensioners by 5%.
Pre-pensioners are
overwhelmed by their
future investment
choices and therefore
postpone any decision.
27. How can we
design an ATM for
children? 💰💰
Q: What are your
first steps?
28. = likely lead to waste.
How can we design an ATM for
children 💰💰 =
🚨🚨 ATM = antiquated system
🚨🚨 ATM = a solution
29. How can we guarantee children
can pay for things?
Reframed 🖼🖼️
33. We says we’re ging to build on each
other’s ideas and do this together.
How provides creative confidence by
assuming there are solutions out there.
Might says it’s ok to put ideas out there
that might, or might not work.
34. Problem > Opportunity 🖼🖼️
Pre-pensioners are
overwhelmed by their
future investment
choices and therefore
postpone any decision.
How might we
educate pre-
pensioners about
re-investing their
pensions?

Use the chat box to
ask Margriet anything
you like.
57. My grandmother is anxious to wait by the hospital
entrance while I park the car, and it’s too far and too
cold for her to walk with me.
My grandmother feels safe at every point of
her health journey.
Point out all the risks and make a huge deal out of the
situation.
Don’t plan ahead or warn my grandmother of anything
before it happens.
Be grumpy about the situation with everyone I see.
Virtual medical visits save thousands of lives every day!
