disclaimer I'm definitely not a pro or anything designing stuff, I've just self-taught.....

Det der typisk forsvinder er netop, som jeg er inde på ovenfor, beslutningslaget; det bliver ekstremt nemt overset at selv den "laveste" medarbejder træffer kvalificerede beslutninger i sit arbejde dagen lang...

Kurserne var alle en variant af "chefer og mellemledere ved intet om medarbejdernes arbejdsgange på det niveau, som du har brug for. Medarbejderne kan næsten aldrig selv beskrive arbejdsgangene præcist nok, så her er, hvordan du får fat i den viden og de informationer, det skal til."
Tilgangen var som regel baseret på antropologiske metoder.

Eller begge dele.

Jeg har udført utallige opgaver for utallige virksomheder, fra strategi & design til simpel kommunikation & ikke én eneste gang var den første beskrivelse af hvad de ønskede sig i nærheden af at være tilstrækkelig for at udføre jobbet.

Selv simple ting som "lav et SoMe-opslag om X" kræver stort set altid en uddybende samtale.

Det bliver så tit lavet med røven ude i den "virkelige verden", fordi man (og nok især cheferne, er min oplevelse) ikke mener, at mere end højniveaubeskrivelser er nødvendige.
