Solving the pain of your customer.
- uncovering where the pain is.
- reflecting why there is pain.
- solve the real problem.

Cheeky.

... starting with the user, not the use.

… a proactive creative process to achieve an outcome.
… complete if an outcome is achieved
… incomplete if an outcome is not achieved
The outcome of the design process is
… positive if it matches the problem resolution
… neutral if it has no effect on the problem
… negative if it makes the problem worse
In any case, creative designing is proactive and a separate entity from the outcome. Problem solving is comparative and reactive; an attempt to match outcomes to the resolution of a problem.

I've always liked the Eamesian definitions of design:
"A plan for arranging elements in such a way as best to accomplish a particular purpose."
"Recognition of need. An expression of purpose"
*from the films of Charles & Ray Eames
