“a startup is not a smaller version of a large company”

“A startup is a temporary organization designed to search for a repeatable and scalable business model.”

— Steve Blank

A startup is not a project team or department

All models are wrong, but some are useful. Void where prohibited. Some assembly required. Batteries not included. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead is purely coincidental. Apply only to affected area. May be too intense for some viewers. Caveat emptor. Article is provided as is without any warranties. Other restrictions may apply.

“The customary way of designing is that the architect is trained to design and then to bring in engineers to translate that design - make it stand up. I think that's [a] totally inadequate way of designing. I want to know whilst I'm in the process of designing. I want to know what the possibilities are.”

— Norman Foster

“It's the nearest thing I could imagine to being, to

working on a medieval cathedral where there is this broad idea of principles, but then the nature of the fabric of it was still being designed as it was being constructed.”

“At GDS we don’t have a ‘UX team’ and no one person has a job title that includes the term ‘UX’. We have designers and researchers who work as part of multidisciplinary, agile teams and who practice user centred design (UCD).”

“each project team has a dedicated researcher working closely with the team of designers, developers, content designers and product owners
