Vision
A vision statement moves everyone toward a common destination.
“To inspire and nurture the human spirit – one person,
one cup and one neighborhood at a time.” Starbucks
“We create digital products that make our customers happy and
our partners proud.” Starbucks
“It helped us create a system that, we think, is
clear and scalable across the various global markets we serve while still being unique.” Jason Stoff
2-3 years
Principles
Design principles act as a reusable standard for designers to
measure their work.
None
Shallow by default. deep by choice.
Icons are fast. Colors are faster. Words are clearest.
“Disagreements happened less and less because we were now aligned.”
Steven Fabre

Process

“A complex system that works is invariably found to have
evolved from a simple system that worked. A complex system designed from scratch never works and cannot be patched up to make it work. You have to start over with a working simple system.” Gall’s Law
Focus on what is completed, not what isn’t.
“Don’t look at what was missing or failing, but at
what was working and functioning.” Cristiano Rastelli
