This document provides tips for avoiding procrastination. It recommends being honest about past instances where procrastinating caused problems. Large projects should be broken into smaller, more manageable tasks to avoid feeling overwhelmed. Overplanning should be avoided, and work should just be started instead of overthinking tasks. Distractions like television and social media should be limited or avoided altogether during work time.

Kaizen

Tom Curtis

This document discusses Kaizen, which is a philosophy of continuous small improvements. It provides an overview of Kaizen, including that it seeks ongoing, small improvements that can often be made at little cost. These small changes add up to bigger accomplishments over time. The document outlines the who, what, when, where, and why of Kaizen, as well as the basic Kaizen process of identifying opportunities, finding solutions, planning implementations, and integrating changes. It also discusses ways to identify opportunities and potential pitfalls to avoid with Kaizen.

Building the Ultimate Full Company Growth Team

Sean Ellis

The goal of any company with a valuable product is to scale adoption by qualified customers. This generally requires establishing a "north star metric" and managing growth against that metric. These slides show how you can build a core growth team that coordinates the efforts of the full company to drive sustainable growth. It is important that every idea be treated as a test. The more tests you run the more learning you gain for growing the company. But running a lot of tests requires a process that is explained in the slides.

500 Startups

This document discusses Sean Ellis's experience with moving from a "hustle" approach of focusing on Twitter engagement to drive growth, to implementing a more systematic "high tempo testing" process of launching 3 tests per week. After some early success, Ellis's company experienced 3 flat months without meeting growth goals when relying only on saying "test more". The solution was to implement high tempo testing with a dedicated process involving ideation, prioritization, and tracking results. Challenges included generating enough new testing ideas, prioritizing the best ones, implementing the tests, accurately analyzing results, and avoiding repeat tests. The process provides more predictable and scalable growth. An example test involving changing an email form's placement led to a 700

IT Arena

John Griffin is currently paving the way for new explorative ways to bring Design to the forefront of the Ford Credit Europe products. With a background co-founding design consultancies Wolfcub and Pack, he’s spent the last 8 years honing his craft on clients including ASOS, HSBC, Diageo, and Google alongside helping a multitude of start-ups launch their ideas. When John’s not going deep on bringing product ideas to life, you can find him behind the mic podcasting, running the industry event Product Unleashed, or talking about his favorite 80s films to anyone who will listen long enough! Speech Overview: Why are we so afraid for our ideas to fail? Is failure just learning with a bad reputation? The idea of our ideas failing can not only hold us back from making a start on something but can also leave us in an endless loop of all-talk-no-action. For teams to truly be successful, failure needs to move from elephant in the room to engrained within your DNA.

This document outlines the top 11 mistakes that entrepreneurs often make, including scaling a business too quickly without properly testing ideas, believing that having a majority stake equals full control, and thinking that patents alone make a business idea defensible. It also warns against serial execution instead of parallel paths, overly long presentations, hiring only those similar to oneself, and befriending investors instead of maintaining a professional relationship.

Gerald Aungst

This document outlines 5 principles for the modern mathematics classroom: conjecture, communication, collaboration, chaos, and celebration. It discusses each principle in 1-2 paragraphs and provides examples. The principles emphasize wondering and questioning, explaining concepts simply, working together, engaging with non-routine problems, and acknowledging mistakes as learning opportunities. The overall message is that mathematics instruction should move away from rote memorization and toward active thinking, discussion, problem-solving, and an appreciation for the learning process.

Apply your growth hacking strategy into product developing stage

Benson Chang

The document discusses applying growth hacking strategies during product development. It notes that many startups spend months building a product but see little results when launching, such as getting 10,000 new signups from a TechCrunch feature but then seeing few return or continue using the product over time. The document recommends defining actionable goals, implementing analytics, leveraging strengths, executing experiments, and optimizing experiments to build culture and community and create a product that people want.

Small Controlled Experiments

Mathias Verraes

http://verraes.net The project was of to a bad start: an inherited legacy codebase, a waterfall contract, and a projected loss. The promise of Kaizen or Continuous Improvement seemed very appealing. But when we tried to incorporate this into our process, it didn’t catch on. Biweekly retrospectives didn’t seem to expose any problems we could improve upon. The ceremonies we tried, like Deming’s Plan-Do-Check-Act cycles, added too much overhead. We were doing something wrong. Continuous Improvement implies that you know exactly where to focus your efforts. Like scientists, we started to experiment, without deciding upfront what we expected the outcome to be. The rules? Make every experiment as small as possible. No meetings, no consensus, no cumbersome evaluation process. We let the results speak for themselves. This talk explores the successes and failures of a team that went from survival mode to learning mode over the course of a year.

JAM London

You think it’s the best product ever built, you convince your co-founders and team to follow you on the path to success but what you start realising is that the road is bumpier than any other with unknowns at every corner. In the tech space particularly, there is a lack of retrospect of what our predecessors have built and learning from their mistakes. In a market where success and billion-dollar exits and valuations are so celebrated, the majority end up in failure and hardly anyone talks about them. Join us to understand the learnings derived from failure and practices to put to track your startup’s health.

Riding rollercoasteroflife change

Amy S. Friend

Dealing with change can be hard for some people. We each have our own perspective on the impact of change--hard or easy. There are endings, transitions, and new beginnings. We think about the technical things that change, but the emotional aspects are often over-looked leaving employees floundering on how to move forward productively. When Kodak was faced with a number of large organizational changes, they did a broad company initiative to help prepare employees and leaders for how to navigate change as gracefully as possible. Amy Friend was part of the team that delivered training to Kodak's Global Service and Support organization. Amy Friend presented several workshops for the STC Spectrum Conference, NYS Nutrition Conference, and American Society for Quality (ASQ). Amy Friend is an Associate Fellow of STC, an ASQ Certified Quality Manager, and a Six Sigma Black Belt. She presents and publishes often on applying quality practices to service, technical communications, and learning.

Business Connections: Taking Your Employee Resource Group Into the Community

Amy S. Friend

Kodak has a very active employee resource group in support of many different diversity segments. As a leader of Lambda, the ERG for LGBT employees, Amy Friend and other ERG members coordinated a community presence by Kodak with several national and regional organizations. Together they would give presentations, coordinate event photography, and manage photo booths with the demonstration of products. This extra effort was one way that an ERG could directly align with the mission of it's sponsoring company. Amy Friend was president of Lambda, the ERG for LGBT employees. She established the first marketing committee that collaborated with marketing and PR professionals. During this time, Lambda helped Kodak to connect with over 1 million LGBT consumers.

Transitioning a Technical Communications Department

Amy S. Friend

When Kodak sold off their Health Imaging business unit, Amy Friend and the employees that went to the new company had to set up new operations to provide over 42 unique communications related processes. They also had to migrate regulated documentation in a way that maintained the quality of content. The schedule was tight and there were strict rules on how the regulated documentation and training had to migrate to the new company. Amy Friend, Manager of Technical Communications and Linda Schlauch presented this session at STC Spectrum Conference in Rochester NY. They address rebranding, content migration, sourcing strategy, quality systems, and resources required for this complex process migration. Amy Friend is an Associate Fellow of STC and a Certified Six Sigma Black Belt.
