Speaking at the 5th SAP Design Talk, Greg Petroff addressed an audience of some 700 SAP employees not only about designing for lots of dirt, grease, water, heat, and cold, but also how GE uses design methods and technology to gain empathy for industrial workers. The teams then build solutions that not only support industrial workers, but give them “superhuman” powers.
