Let's work together

Design system review

An examination of elements and guidelines in order to propose a structured approach to improving and maintaining your design system.

From discord to coherence

You have probably implemented some sort of design system, or at least a design library. And now it’s not meeting expectations. Instead of streamlining the design process, it feels like it’s slowing your product teams down. It’s not delivering the consistency and coherence you need.

‍

Don’t waste time debating

Implementing a design system can increase your design productivity by as much as 40%. Your product teams don’t have to spend time debating styling and UI patterns and can focus on functionality and user experience. But only if your design system is well-organised and maintained. And that’s where we come in.

Characteristics

User research is incidental and ad hoc.
Fragmented and outdated user journey maps.

Insights are not findable or accessible for every team.

No set of fixed methods.

Initiating fixed working methods.

Systematic.

The user journey becomes the starting point for the workflow.

Central storage of insights. Rights and access are managed.

Continuous user research, testing and implementation of improvements.

The same, interchangeable methods for collecting user data throughout the organization.

It is clear who can (and must) make the decisions.

Every product team - in all relevant chapters and departments - has the same way of working.

What we do

We start with a short audit.

We help you realize your first successes.

We give you the tools to work based on user data. We collect input from your target group.

Depending on where you are, Hike One can take responsibility while we take care of the implementation together.

We help with creating structure, defining roles and selecting the right tools.

We help to coach your (new) experts in-house.

We ensure that you can deliver consistently high quality with less effort.

Together we continuously map and manage the user journey, with responsibility increasingly shifting to your own team members.

We help you get the entire organization working based on user journeys.

We spread the gospel across all silos and we help coach the coaches.

If necessary, we help develop the business case and present it at C-level.

Hike One not only played an essential role in designing a great new experience of our multiscreen products, but also in ensuring a consistent and coherent implementation of this new experience across our various platforms.
