Purposedifferent
When teams derive needs only from assumptions and real motives are missing, user interviews give direct access to behavior and meaning. Conversations from the target group's everyday life make patterns, tensions, and open questions solidly visible.The method protects energy and attention for the task that creates the largest progress and is often postponed.With many similar objects of differing economic significance, the method prioritizes effort by effect. It separates what needs regular steering from what rarely needs attention.It separates true priorities from noise so it becomes clear what should be done now, scheduled, delegated, or dropped.
