It is a process that seeks creative and innovative solutions to meet product characteristics, client and company needs in a way that is in tune with market demands and opportunities. Design is present in all areas of the company and in all elements that relate communication with the market. It is in the brand, in the shape, in the materials, in the colours and packaging of the products, in the points of sale, in the printed materials, in the networks and in all promotional materials. Design works on innovation, identity, communication and quality. Performance and benefits Design is the way for your company to achieve: ![](/files/A9NtK0VTUO0Cv2gGIfVi) Design is still very much associated with the aesthetics of products, but its function transcends this point. Design is a discipline that cuts across any economic sector and permeates from small to large companies, as its premise is to promote well-being in people's lives through experience. The small company can start its steps with innovation, organising its internal processes using the methodology of design thinking. This methodology is applied to any type of business and helps the company understand its processes and solve its business challenge. It consists of four phases: Immersion (identification of the problem and knowledge of its variables), analysis/synthesis (analysis of the data collected), ideation (co-creation of ideas to solve the problems identified in the Immersion phase) and prototyping (validation and testing of one or more ideas generated). Design is a strategic tool that makes up the marketing mix and strategy of the economic activities of companies. Through design, one can work on differentiating the attributes of a product or service by means of graphic design, product design, improving companies' processes, getting to know the user experience, as well as fostering innovation. You do not need to be a big company to invest in design. Innovation should be the bloodstream of companies seeking to improve their competitiveness and transform their business. --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook.
