Moonshot Thinking. How to disrupt your industry and beat the competition. Inspired by Google X and Peter Diamandis.
Moonshot thinking is shooting for the moon. Moonshots live in the gray area between audacious projects and pure science fiction; they are 10X improvement, not 10%.
The document provides career advice for getting into the tech field, including:
- Doing projects and internships in college to build a portfolio.

Organizational culture includes values, norms, systems, symbols, language, assumptions, beliefs, and habits that influence employee behaviors and how people interpret those behaviors. It is important because culture can help or hinder a company's success. Some key aspects of Netflix's culture that help it achieve results include hiring smartly so every position has stars, focusing on attitude over just aptitude, and having a strict policy against peacocks, whiners, and jerks.

This document provides an overview of ChatGPT presented by Cori Hendon and Gary Nakanelua. It explains what ChatGPT is to different audiences, demonstrates its abilities such as answering questions and generating code/text, and discusses its limitations as an AI system trained for conversation rather than correctness. Examples show ChatGPT answering prompts, with a discussion of challenges like providing incorrect information and its inability to perform tasks like playing chess.
I delivered this talk at 8012 Design Center. The talk explores what kind of problems agile and design thinking help explore individually, and whether there are opportunities to combine them in solving some kind of problems?

This document provides an excerpt from slides for a 2-3 day professional training on design thinking and innovation management. The slides cover the basics of design thinking, including its origins and nature, how it is portrayed in the media, and how it relates to strategic thinking. Design thinking is presented as a way to take an outside-in perspective focused on customer needs and experiences to drive value creation and innovation. The training is intended to help participants better understand design thinking and apply it to innovating without unrealistic expectations. The facilitator also provides strategy advisory and training on other topics beyond design thinking.
Choosing a startup name is an important decision that will impact how people connect with the brand and the company's ability to get funding and recognition. The best way to choose a name is to brainstorm with others and come up with something short, simple, relevant, memorable and verb-able. After settling on a name, companies should secure the matching domain name and make sure the name properly conveys the brand.
Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.
This document discusses applying design thinking through an action lab. It provides an overview of the key takeaways and learnings from a design thinking course, including that learning spaces help set the tone, using technology with purpose, and seeing yourself as an ultimate resource. It also includes a graphic map of the design thinking process as experienced. Additionally, it discusses the role of an industrial designer in working with clients to discover needs through human-centered design research and developing solutions through various design methods and prototyping.

The document discusses moving an organization from good to great. It outlines several key concepts from the book "Good to Great" for doing so, including having level 5 leadership, confronting brutal facts, developing a hedgehog concept, establishing a culture of discipline, and using technology accelerators. It emphasizes the importance of first getting the right people on the bus before deciding what to do, and how achieving greatness is more like pushing a heavy flywheel forward through consistent, small efforts over time rather than any single defining action.
Creative Traction Methodology - For Early Stage StartupsTommaso Di Bartolo
The document discusses the Creative Traction Methodology (CTM) for gaining traction for new products and ideas. CTM has three parts: 1) The Idea Release Life Cycle which emphasizes validating ideas before development and engaging communities early. 2) Ransack Tools which means leveraging new growth hacking strategies and tools. 3) Act Creatively which involves lateral thinking with no biases to attract niche audiences and validate assumptions through experimentation. The document provides examples and case studies for applying each part of CTM.
As designers and developers, we don’t always have access to research to about our end users, or the opportunity to learn about them. This can leave us building products based on our managers personal opinion, or client specifications, and never really knowing how we can serve our users better.
But the good news is there are many opportunities for user research that most designers and developers just aren’t aware of. They are cheap, easy to implement, and can used straight away on almost any project.
Lily will talk you through 3 methods of no excuse user research that you can use immediately on the websites, products, apps and services you work on every day.

The document discusses challenges and opportunities for supporting web entrepreneurs (WEs) through European Union programs like Horizon 2020. It notes that WEs thrive on disruptive ideas and flexibility but often find EU programs too bureaucratic and focused on long-term projects. The document proposes making programs more suitable for WEs by focusing on ideas over procedures, providing reusable technologies, allowing WEs to shape programs, and evaluating proposals based on potential impact rather than academic criteria. The goal is to better support the ambition and creativity of WEs and help turn their ideas into real-world impact at large scale.
We put on a design thinking workshop at Pepper Hamilton with pricing people and partners from various firms in Boston. These are the slides we used to conduct the workshop.
[AgileDevOps West 2023] We're in it together and other perspectives on effect...Jason Yip
Have you watched those Spotify engineering culture videos? They were trendy and influential in the agile community but that was around nine years ago. What might we say about effective product development culture today? In this keynote, Jason Yip will share a summary of 2023-era effective product development culture based on his eight years at Spotify and 14 years at ThoughtWorks. This will include core beliefs, guiding principles, and core practices. Which ones will align with what you see at your workplace? Which ones will highlight opportunities for improvement? This keynote is not to encourage copying something that will become obsolete in another nine years, but instead to share an example of reflecting on effective product development culture to hopefully encourage your own ongoing reflection and improvement.

This document summarizes a presentation on product discovery. It introduces concepts like design thinking, lean UX, design sprints, and how they relate to agile product development and discovery. It discusses tools like the lean canvas that can help structure product discovery work. It also notes some potential pitfalls to avoid, like being too focused on tools/practices over organizational culture. The presentation concludes by discussing next steps like organizing a grand challenge event and forming interest groups.
The document discusses different aspects of innovation including defining innovation, levels of innovation, ingredients for innovation success, and stages of an innovation ladder. It notes that there is no single recipe for innovation success as every company has different characteristics. Innovation can involve developing new products, services, business models, or technologies. Success depends on factors like people, strategy, and processes within an organization. Companies can be at different rungs of an innovation ladder from simply recognizing the need to innovate to having continuous innovation processes.
The event agenda included presentations on innovation frameworks from Motorola and Chevron, as well as a talk from author Jeffery Phillips. Attendees would participate in breakout sessions on topics like getting started with innovation programs, advanced functionality, executive use cases, and a session called "Innovation Soup" for all levels. The day would conclude with a happy hour networking event to continue discussions among the fellow attendees.

This fast-paced, multi-modal experience will engage you to learn more about innovation thinking, while exploring assumptions, and building innovation strategies and synergy to achieve breakthrough results. Together we will bust FIVE common innovation myths and open the door to greater opportunity!
The report provides an overview about the program, speakers, some highlights and results from the workshops conducted at the first Design at Business Conference on Nov 1 & 2, 2016in Berlin.
The document discusses various topics related to design and innovation including:
1. Three types of innovation - as a process, capability, and culture.
2. The challenges of discontinuous innovation and how a more flexible, interdisciplinary and concurrent workflow can help address these challenges.
3. The concept of convergence in areas like hardware/software and disciplines. How a convergent approach helped make the iPod successful.
4. The importance of both convergence and divergence in design and how marketing is shifting from a "push" to a "pull" model.
This document summarizes a meeting focused on debunking common innovation myths and providing simple innovation strategies and practices. Attendees learned about 5 common myths, such as the ideas that only a few people can innovate, that lots of ideas is the key to innovation, and that the best problem solving is done alone. Simple strategies were presented, like integrating ideas, collaborating in teams, and spending more time defining problems rather than solutions. The meeting aimed to inspire confidence in applying innovation and left attendees feeling excited.

WHOA is an innovation agency based in Los Angeles that conducts market research, strategy, and design for Fortune 500 brands and startups. This deck is a copy of their capabilities.
http://www.whoa.agency
Developed by students at Stanford University, the Design Thinking approach was created to establish a new way to grow innovative products, processes and services. The Design Thinking process consists of six iterative stages which enable participants to seek flexible solutions and innovations concerning the issue they treat.
One important aspect of Design Thinking is the creation and cultivation of ideas within a well-coordinated team. Thus, the team spirit is a decisive element during Design Thinking operations and encourages to produce the best possible results. In addition to the team side of Design Thinking, a flexible and productive environment is crucial to develop inventive ideas and products. The more workable an environment, is the easier it is for employees to visualize and transmit thoughts and new concepts.
Similar to Design sprint - What is it and how it works (20)
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.
