Where do great ideas come from?

From field ethnography, UI wireframes and task flows, to visual design and implementation, we do it and we teach it.

The companies that peter puts down actually has invested in and has improved their customer experiences over the years. Sure, there’s a lot of room for improvement but to say these companies see their stores as just distribution channels is too generalizing.
1) address Walmart welcoming RV’ers to their parking lots(I think this can be compared to an offline meetup.com) 2) look at bestbuy’s customer centricity initiatives…particularly understanding their customer ( through some advanced observational technoques) then adapting their stores to address the needs of these customers….maybe you’re waiting at the genius bar too much to see this happening but these companies have seen the need and are trying to improve their customer experience.
