Some week two ponderings...

As I read through the responses to date, a couple of things jumped out at me. One was the sense of information overload, contrasted with the need to map out the various km/ks/data and related platforms (and all that this implies in terms of data formats, agreements, etc.)

What I have not discerned is how the demand from the user has been clarified or articulated. Is there a role for design thinking here? It is easy to start setting out design ideas and requirements and march ahead, but designing with users might be a useful initial exercise. 

What do the rest of you think?
