7 Do’s and Don’ts for Co-Creation
Co-creation brings groups together to jointly produce a mutually valued outcome.
Today’s business world: we meet to talk about what we’re going to do, we go off in our vacuum, we create something, we come back to review, we get feedback, we debate, we revise, and ultimately create something that doesn’t hit the mark from all sides. This is wildly inefficient and produces subpar products.
Pinaki Kathiari, co-founder of Local Wisdom and Stephen Garguillo, Senior Manager of Creative Engagement at Johnson & Johnson, have changed this model in their teams. Co-creation can be used with clients and agencies, companies and customers, between internal departments, basically any number multi disciplined teams looking to produce something.
In their talk 7 Do’s and Don’ts for Co-Creation, Stephen and Pinaki talk about the important aspects of how to bring people together to create fantastic outcomes. From knowing why and when you should co-create, to facilitation, and keeping a bias towards action, you’ll learn what it takes to produce awesome work together than hits the mark from all angles.

Climate Impact of Software Testing at Nordic Testing Days
My slides at Nordic Testing Days 6.6.2024
Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.
