„How can a business be developed in such a way that it is both attractive and economically stable for both customers and employees?“
The answer to this question is anything but easy, but we as a Business Design Agency have dedicated all our expertise in finance, data analytics and design to it. – Christoph Nieberding, Managing Partner of Designation, Munich.
Business Value for Data Science Use Cases
Getting with data science to a real business value is about asking the right questions. A complex design challenge, as model design, data acquisition, user experiences, business needs, process integration and cost must all fit together at the end.

Designing a Pitch Deck, that Investors fascinate
Convincing an investor with your own story is not that easy. The challenge lies in working out the important points and putting them in a meaningful and consistent order and match it with the outside perspective.
The condition for success is that the story meets the needs of the investor, creates trust and removes investment barriers without having to bend. If you want to know more about our approach or business plan activities, please drop us a note: office@designation.eu
THINKING IN STEPS
Business Design is focused doing, testing and improving business processes and services. It is based on Human Centered Design principles and the focus on organisational success.
If you listen well to your customers, you have the chance to stay ahead of the competition.
And you can react quickly: listen, ideate, build, improve. The continuous development of models plays a decisive role here. In technology companies, it goes without saying that an important success factor is the ability to make structured, rapid adjustments to product and service development. Those who keep their ears open with customers have the chance to stay ahead of the competition. The necessary innovation for this does not fall from the sky, but is a result of a structured and demanding process.
Definition: Business Design is the application of Design Thinking to the solution of organisational tasks and challenges and combines innovation and creativity in an interdisciplinary team with an analytical perspective. It enables innovative, agile and flexible growth, open and creative solution search and improved customer and employee satisfaction. You can read more about this in our blog post
Design Thinking is an innovative method that uses the methods and attitudes of designers to bring people’s needs into line with technical possibilities and what is economically feasible, thereby enabling customer value and financial success.

THE BIG PICTURE FOR Organizational DEVELOPMENT
With concept and creativity to focused development – the Business Design Guide.
How do you maintain the right overview with all participants and know at different levels what needs to come next? How do you increase added value for the customer in the right way? How do you avoid risks and reduce inefficiencies? How do you make it clear to everyone involved in the project what contribution is expected? How do you get rid of static thinking in an agile world? Our guide supports all this.
Correctly worked out with your goals and project measures, our Guide conveys the necessary big picture in a way that is visible to everyone and gets measurable.
It regularly helps teams to clarify the current status of their own projects and raises awareness of the relevant milestones and the tasks. At the same time, it becomes the central element in the implementation of business and financial planning of new business.

- Why do they want certain services and how do we deal with them effectively?
- What exactly is the “product” for the customer, what can she do with it and what exactly cannot?
- What is the goal of change? How can we achieve more with simple steps?
- Where are the current bottlenecks for further development? What database do we have at our disposal?
- >What makes a good solution valuable?
- How do we structure our activities and effectively build on existing good solutions?
- How do we deal with conflicting requirements and conflicting situations?
- How do we create the basis to implement ideas with existing limitations?
- How do we measure the impact of our ideas?
