Whiteboard table with markers, papers, and a hand-drawn customer-design diagram.

Whiteboard tables are something that you really get used to.

Currently I am spending a decent amount of time working in a creative, whiteboard-surrounded environment. We call it the “Brand Gym” and it is the place where we teach and practice Human-Centered Design at Swisscom.

Guess what? Having lots of creative tools at hand actually makes you want to use them. Scribbling diagrams, illustrating ideas and generally working “hands-on” with data and thoughts is a stimulating experience. Highly recommended.

In a world where we increasingly go digital as fast and early as possible, the simple haptic feeling you get from drawing with a whiteboard marker or from rearranging post-it notes is something to aspire. Go for it.
