The document summarizes an experience led innovation workshop for small and medium enterprises. The workshop introduced tools and methods for understanding customer experiences and designing products and services to influence desired behaviors and meet business objectives. Participants worked in teams to develop innovative concepts for a gourmet food truck business using "Design with Intent" cards that provide principles and examples to spark ideas. Each team then presented their top two ideas and the inspiration cards to the room. The workshop aimed to equip attendees with practical skills to apply experience led innovation approaches to their own organizations.

- 25. Design with Intent “I use the term Design with Intent to mean design that's intended to influence or result in certain user behaviour.” “This reflective approach can be valuable for designers: being aware that we're designing not just products, not just experiences, but actually designing behaviour at one level or another. Whether we mean to do it or not, it's going to happen, so we might as well get good at it.” Dan Lockton, creator of Design with Intent © 2013
