Falling in love with the Helsinki Design Lab & musings

Tom Critchlow

I've been following Bryan Boyer for a while but without exactly understanding why. But when I listened to the podcast with Bryan and Jarrett Fuller on Scratching the Surface I was intrigued by the Helsinki Design Lab and I started digging...

And what a goldmine! The Helsinki Design Lab operated from 2009 - 2013 and was operated by basically a small team of superstars. One of which is Bryan Boyer.

The HDL focused on "strategic design" and documented and published a ton of content along the way.

I'm working my way through the archives and their published books and blogging as I go. Two posts about strategic consulting that I wrote up here:

Strategy and stewardship - A model for retained strategy consulting

High fidelity consulting - Ideas without details and details without ideas are both risky

Hopefully for those looking to engage with "strategy" and "consulting" (whatever those things really mean!) might find these helpful. But really - head straight to the HDL source and start digging through the archives and let me know what you find.

Much love,
Tom
