Whether you need user insights to inspire a new design project, or whether you already have a prototype to evaluate, whatever stage you are at, we can deliver the benefits of user-centred design to your process.
Davis Associates runs management workshops to help clients apply user-centred design within their businesses.

On-going ergonomics advice and re-iterative user testing helps inform decisions during design development, through to final specification. A usability problem can be corrected more quickly and at far less cost, if it is identified at the development stage rather than the delivery stage.
This is the basis of a truly re-iterative, user-centred design process; continually considering the fit between the design and the needs and capabilities of the users.
