Problem Solver

Bamber Hawes

Areas Bamber Hawes is Knowledgeable in:

Listening carefully to the client,
thinking through what they think they need,
asking the right questions to define what actually needs to be done,
analyse options,
research possibilities and
present client with a clearer defined brief that can then be taken forward by me or specialists.

Techniques Bamber Hawes Uses:

Listening ~ without prejudice.
Do not start solving the problem before all the facts are before you, (this is difficult because as a designer often the solution is obvious, or is initially given by the client).
Go and see the problem ~ often the client can not describe well enough for you to really understand what is needed.
Talk to the users, preferably without the boss standing next to you.
Sometimes the 'problem' is not the problem it is the systems that need to be changed.
