This document discusses how to stop the blame game in organizations to reduce stress and conflict. It argues that most conflict arises from predictable mistakes by well-intentioned people and reactions to those mistakes, rather than truly bad actors. When frustrated, people often blame others reflexively in ways that damage relationships and productivity. However, taking a reflective approach and assuming others' intentions are reasonable can help defuse tensions and build trust and cooperation. The document provides strategies for developing an organizational culture of appreciation instead of blame.

Building a Problem Understanding Framework to Deliver Higher Quality SolutionsFresh Tilled Soil
Gil discusses the importance of empathy in understanding problem spaces and organizing problems for teams. He presents a framework that includes defining the problem outside of products, focusing on long term customer problems, and creating a shared mission, vision and strategy. Teams are then empowered to own the implementation of ideas while being accountable. Problems are captured throughout the product development process via user research, testing and feedback. The overall message is that empathy and a clear strategic framework allows teams to focus on solving the most important customer problems.

Radical Product: The global movement that’s building vision-driven productsFresh Tilled Soil
UX Fest 2018
Radhika Dutt, Co-Founder at Radical Product
Building vision-driven products means having a clear vision, a compelling product strategy to achieve that vision, and translating the vision and strategy into an execution plan. While this is easily said, it is incredibly hard to do. What is a “good” vision? What does product strategy really mean? What is Enlightenment? Wait, that a different talk.
Radical Product is a movement that provides a methodology for strategic product thinking, in a similar way that Lean and Agile provided a methodology for feedback-driven execution. We’ll use the free and open-source Radical Product toolkit to talk about how you can create a powerful, far-reaching vision for your product, make smarter decisions, and build products with purpose.

And he had a technology we *definitely* should put in our product. It’s 3D image rendering. Or a chatbot. Or a timeline feature. Those of you working in and for enterprise organizations can relate to this challenge. What are the ways large organizations can develop and defend a culture of product leadership? And how can you, as experience designers, elevate and translate the importance and impact of your work to the C-Suite? This talk will explain how you can use creative, data-driven, and organizational behavior approaches to ensure the best experience wins.
This document discusses how to build better products by building better teams. It advocates for assembling diverse, cross-functional teams that work autonomously and are co-located. It emphasizes that product development is a team sport that requires psychological safety, alignment on goals, and leaders who empower teams and get out of the way. Building such teams will allow organizations to keep up with rapid technological changes and build the new interfaces to the world that software and technology enable.

Julia Austin, Senior Lecturer, Advisor, Board Member at Harvard Business School
The learnings product teams gather from direct user feedback and testing prototypes is often underrated and too often discarded once they begin developing at scale. In reality, the need to talk to users - different users in different contexts - lasts beyond the initial phase. Forgetting to talk to your target audience can lead to building products and experiences that fail to delight, or worse, building the wrong thing altogether. Product teams must continue to test as they develop and continue to validate as they evolve. Julia will describe real-world case studies of what can go wrong when feedback ends once development begins.
Feedback is forever.

Slides from the Fresh Tilled Soil workshop Design Sprints at Scale held on 3.15.2018.
A Design Sprint is a flexible time-boxed problem solving framework that increases the chances of making something people want. With an emphasis on collaborative ideation, solution sketching, prototype building, and user testing, Design Sprints give product teams more confidence in their choices and priorities. But confusion still exists.
--How do I convince my organization it’s a good idea, and how do I get leadership buy-in?
--What kind of prep work is required, and how soon should I start?
--How do I make sure this doesn’t just become another innovation brainstorm that people dismiss when it’s over?
The document outlines an agenda for a design sprint workshop to improve the airport experience for passengers flying out of Boston Logan Airport. The workshop will follow a design sprint methodology over 5 days to: 1) Understand passengers and their needs through empathy mapping and assumption analysis, 2) Generate ideas through jobs stories and brainstorming techniques, 3) Converge on ideas to test through sketching and feedback, 4) Prototype the top idea, and 5) Test the prototype with passengers and analyze the results to identify validations or invalidations. The goal is to apply human-centered design processes to identify an experience that improves passenger satisfaction from the start of their airport journey.
This is adapted from our workshop at Mind the Product/London 2017. In this full-day session, we talked through the purposes of a roadmap and a process for establishing your product's vision, gaining alignment with your stakeholders, validating themes, and presenting to upper level execs in order to maximize your team's impact.
Southwest Airlines has hired the design team to improve the passenger experience at Boston Logan Airport from arrival to departure. On the first day, the team conducted assumption storming and empathy mapping to understand passenger pain points. They defined the problem as making passengers happy during their pre-flight experience. On day two, the team generated ideas through job stories and six-ups. On day three, they converged on ideas through sketching and $100 testing. Day four involved prototyping the selected idea. On the final day, the team tested their prototype with passengers and analyzed the results.
A Design Sprint is a five-day framework that uses design thinking principles to identify the right problem to solve, generate ideas to solve that problem, and test solutions. The five days consist of understand, diverge, converge, build, and test phases to discover answers fast through prototyping and user feedback. This process aims to increase the chances of creating something people want by gathering evidence-based insights rather than opinions.
Sex, Drugs and The Infinite Scroll: The biology behind engaging design.Fresh Tilled Soil
Designing product for optimal engagement is challenging. This talk looks at how human biology can provide us with clues as to how people relate to products and experiences. Brain chemistry, emotional decisions, evolutionary cycles and social connections all play a part in how we connect to experiences.
Design Sprints are a powerful tool for the designer, developer or product manager. In this workshop, we explore when a Design Sprint is appropriate, how to conduct one and what exercises to use at which phase.
In this week's episode, we discuss Assumption Storming - essentially, brainstorming for assumptions. If a product (or a feature of a product) fails, most likely there was a wrong assumption along the way. So let’s call them out now before too far down the line.
This week’s episode in our Design Sprint Short series – F-A-Qs or Facts – Assumptions – and Questions – attempts to help groups elevate their thinking to focus resources and efforts at solving the right problems. This activity helps get all of the different domain knowledge out of individuals’ heads and up on the wall to be shared and referenced by the team.

This PowerPoint presentation demonstrates my beginner skills in creating product showcases. It provides an overview of a specific product, showing my ability to gather key information and present it clearly. The presentation highlights my efforts to organize content logically and use basic visual aids effectively.
In human communication, explanations serve to increase understanding, overcome communication barriers, and build trust. They are, in most cases, dialogues. In computer science, AI explanations (“XAI”) map how an AI system expresses underlying logic, algorithmic processing, and data sources that make up its outputs. One-way communication.
How do we craft designs that "explain" concepts and respond to users’ intent? Can AI identify, elicit and apply relevant user contexts, to help us understand AI outputs? How do explanations become two-way?
We must create experiences with systems that will be required to respect user needs and dynamically explain logic and seek understanding. This is a significant challenge that, at its heart, needs UX leadership. The safety, trust, and understandability of systems we design hinge on the way we craft models for explanation.
