Stop solving interaction design problems and begin solving problems with design

“As designers of interactions broaden their perspective and take a higher level view of the problem, they simultaneously make another transition: they stop solving interaction design problems and begin solving problems with design… In this capacity designers of interactions bring their design skills to bear on truly complex, systemic problems—broad in scale and scope—and have the opportunity to affect truly profound and lasting change.” – Steve Baty

1. How can we help people begin making a change in behavior?
2. Interaction design finds ways to better connect people
3. Interaction design is about shaping our everyday life through digital artifacts
4. Focus on the idea of a product experience, instead of experience that only deals with the user
5. UX strategy requires the coordinated efforts of the entire organization
