wayfinding
Wayfinding is a set of techniques people use to locate, discover, and follow a route. Travelers read subtle information from the environment — air temperature, sunlight angle, wind direction, topography — to travel immense distances over known and unknown territory.
The modern business environment is no different. Your business needs to gather and process many signals — user behavior, policy shifts, customer sentiment, internal stakeholder feedback — across the entire globe in real time. You need to chart a path in well trodden markets and seek new opportunity. Learn more about how I work.
