Namahn is a user-centered design consultancy based in Brussels, Belgium. We help clients design digital products in a user-centered way (as opposed to a technology-centered way). Our clients' aim is to deploy a product that is a pleasure to use, appropriate to the context of use, and leads to error-free operation.
At a 1983 NATO conference, Professor Dr. Erik Hollnagel stated that the theory of human error was not a useful one. In this fascinating interview, he explains why he still considers this theory to be flawed for the simple reason that human error is unintentional, otherwise errors would be something people wanted and planned to do -- and would therefore be preventable.
Namahn obtained the Qfor quality label. The audit registered a 93% satisfaction rate with our consultancy clients and a 97% rate with our training clients. An 80% score is required to obtain the label.
The Namahn space is featured in the Aha Architectuur series of the Flemish newspaper De Standaard. In this series, architectural critic Koen Van Synghel reviews remarkable buildings.
In edition nine of our series of Namahn Interviews podcasts, Joannes Vandermeulen discusses "Growing Ideas In The Garden Of Innovation" with Scott Berkun.
