WHAT ARE THE IMPEDIMENTS BLOCKING THE WAY FOR THE SMEs TRANSFORMATION?
SMEs usually lack the vision, knowledge and experience in identifiying their • Business • Objectives • Strategies
SMEs need to be guided into • Small • Easy to understand and manage • Short term • Success bringing • PROJECTS
SMEs need to understand • Innovative thinking • Project mind • Managing ideas - people - technology - time - finance at the same time and in a very short time • Trading intellectual property
project thinking success short term easy small manageable problem design thinking
SMEs need to learn how to • Outsource • Make a decision • Acquire technology • Produce and market • which will lead to the overall success of their businesses.
We have to guide SMEs to: • Change paradigms • Look beyond what can be seen or from different angles • See the others can not see • Always think in a result oriented way • Use imaginary ideas from technology developers

DESIGN Everything ever made by human beings first requires Design, and in our world today of commercial business, this in fact requires Management* Design Management is the art and science of empowering design to enhance collaboration and synergy between “design” and “business”. *DMI
SMEs have to compete in a project based world thinking like designers • Work flows from project to project, get organised around these projects • Forget inefficent and slow perfect solutions, “try, prototype, improve” like a designer • Solve difficult problems with surprising solutions • Do not wait for the absolute proof, have the courage to act on what “might be”* • * Roger Martin, from Fast Company April 2005
Business people do not have to understand designers better – they need to become designers ... • David Kelly, chairman of IDEO and founder of the d.school at Stanford university, says; “we want to produce T shaped thinkers, that means combining analytical thinking-the vertical leg of the T- with horizontal thinking: intuitive, experimental, and empathetic.”
design is strategy... • design is transformation... • project mind is the key to success • thank you....
