What is anticipatory design? In 2015, Aaron Shapiro the CEO of Huge coined the phrase ‘Anticipatory Design’ to describe how the next big evolution in design and technology will be the creation of predictive, pro-active multi-channel user experiences. It is the perfect marriage of design, data and technology to simplify complex decisions and in some instances, even eliminate some tasks and decisions from our lives entirely. The word anticipatory comes from the Latin anticipare, which means “taking care of ahead of time”. Think of it as personalisation 2.0 – a system which interprets users’ past behaviours and choices, in order to automatically make informed decisions on the user’s behalf, by utilising machine learning algorithms.
