The application of Romme’s values/ideas in user-based design

Romme’s seven values/ideas on design	How user-based design principles are related
1. Each situation is unique	Each project is seen as a unique situation within a particular context, and so requires a design process that takes this into account
2. Focus on purpose and ideal solutions	Each project is very much driven by the intent or purpose of the proposed change and attempts to design an ideal solution
3. Apply systems thinking	The process pulls in systems thinking about the context of the situation, its potential impact on other systems and uses systems techniques in the design process
4. Limit information	The process uses limited information, so as not to overwhelm new and innovative thinking with old patterns of behaviour
5. Participation and involvement	It uses a high level of participation through the involvement of user groups in design and implementation
6. Use discourse	It uses extensive discourse in the workshops with user groups and other stakeholders
7. Pragmatic experimentation	It is involved in considerable pragmatic experimentation and testing
