10-steps guide for corporate innovators to:
------------------------------------------------------
- Validate business ideas with proved methodologies
- Communicate these ideas more effectively with a structured format
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.

Favoring the Emergence through Agile ScaffoldingEmiliano Soldi
The frameworks for scaling Agile in organizations are certainly an excellent tool on which to leverage to develop strategic skills such as market adaptation, innovation and the reduction of product creation times; characteristics that, in all likelihood, will be able to significantly raise the level of general customer satisfaction.
Not a few times, alas, we found ourselves having to deal with practices suggested by those same frameworks that did not fit well with the circumstances and environment of reference. In those cases it is of little use to abandon one framework in favor of another as, in most cases, we would face new failures and a sense of frustration squared.
In business contexts where a minimum but sufficient Agile adoption maturity has been reached to be defined as practitioners, it is certainly worth experimenting with new approaches.
In this deck we will talk about how it is possible to encourage the emergence of emerging practices by teams in their native contexts, and which allow to scale Agile in a more organic and coordinated way, to achieve the above benefits, without the risk of rejection and decreasing to a minimum the inefficiencies due to lack of alignment, collaboration and communication.
We will use the example of "biological scaffolding" to explain how in a human body, in a completely natural way, it is possible to influence a system from the inside, cellular in that case, towards certain directions and behaviors, avoiding invasive, constricting interventions or structures or limiting.
We will use that concept as a metaphor to apply to Agile transformations.
From Lust to Dust: A Product Life CycleJorge Boria
Traditional software engineering deals with two phases of a product lifecycle: Development and Maintenance. In this short paper we propose to take a different approach and look at the product’s lifecycle using an analogy with the human lifecycle. We use this analogy to define roles that we call ‘research’, ‘engineering’, and ‘support’ to accommodate all the required activities that will keep a product useful for the longest period possible, while at the same time giving rapid response to customer needs.

A design process is a systematic problem-solving strategy, with criteria and constraints, used to develop many possible solutions to solve or satisfy human needs or wants and to narrow down the possible solutions to one final choice.
Identifying and Managing Waste in Complex Product Development EnvironmentsKen Power
Product Development can be viewed as a Complex Adaptive System. Different people, groups, organizations and systems collaborate in a complex network of relationships and dependencies to produce something of value - generally a product or service. Identifying waste in this value network is a critical step towards creating a truly lean organization.
These slides are from an interactive, hands-on workshop that I ran at the Agile India 2012 conference in Bengaluru, India.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
You could be a professional graphic designer and still make mistakes. There is always the possibility of human error. On the other hand if you’re not a designer, the chances of making some common graphic design mistakes are even higher. Because you don’t know what you don’t know. That’s where this blog comes in. To make your job easier and help you create better designs, we have put together a list of common graphic design mistakes that you need to avoid.
3. Systematic Inventive
Thinking (SIT)
Surprisingly, the majority of new,
inventive, and successful products
result from just five patterns.
SIT harnesses these five thinking
patterns that mankind has used for
thousands of years.
http://drewboyd.com/systematic-inventive-thinking/
6. Cognitive Fixedness
A cognitive bias that limits our ability to change
our perspective. It hampers our creativity.
First defined by psychologist Karl Duncker in
1940s (famous candle experiment)
7. Types of Fixedness
Functional Fixedness: Use something
only for what it was designed for
Structural Fixedness: Unwillingness to
accept objects in a different shape
Relational Fixedness: The
interrelationship between two objects
8. Path of Most
Resistance (PoMR)
In nature, water cascading down a mountain will always
follow the path of least resistance- the easiest route. In
thinking, too, our minds tend to take the path of least
resistance- those avenues that are familiar to us. In doing
so, it is difficult to arrive at new ideas. Therefore, when
we want to come up with really new and innovative
ideas, it makes sense to take the counter-intuitive path
– the path of most resistance. This is the path our minds
are much less accustomed to using. All SIT tools are
designed to lead thinkers through their PoMR.
9. Closed World Principle
Discovered by Dr. Roni Horowitz, the
principle states: “When solving a problem or
creating a new solution, one should strive to
use only those resources that exist in the
product or system itself or in its immediate
vicinity.”
Think of the Closed World as a boundary
surrounding the product or service. When you
recruit resources inside that boundary to
generate an idea, the idea tends to be more
creative.
http://drewboyd.com/closed-world-principle/
The beauty of the Closed World is that you can often time change the size of it by zooming in or zooming out. Doing
so completely changes the types of innovations you will create using the SIT method.
This is counterintuitive because most people think that you need to get way outside the current domain to be
innovative. Traditional creativity and innovation methods use random stimuli to push you outside the Closed
World, when they should be doing the opposite.
Utilization of existing resources is oftentimes more efficient, immediate and less costly than importing resources
from an external source.
10. Function Follows Form
Back in the early ’90’s, a group of psychologists, led
by Ronald Finke, made an interesting discovery.
When it comes to creating, people are innately
better at uncovering the potential benefits of a
given form than creating a new form to satisfy a
given need. This discovery spurred a new thinking
approach called Function Follows Form that
encourages us to first create a Virtual Situation
(form), and then to explore its potential benefits
(function).
11.
12. Existing Situation
The first stage of the FFF (Function Follows Form)
process is precisely defining the existing situation.
In order to best apply the SIT tools, one must
define a clear existing situation, which includes all
process stages, product components, and strategic
resources. Only when you have your existing
situation clearly defined can you move to the
second stage of FFF, applying an SIT tool.
19. Virtual Product
The result of mentally manipulating the existing
product is called a Virtual Product. Visualizing the
virtual product is not a simple task, since it is initially
not at all clear what its possible uses could be. This
can very often create a sense of discomfort due to the
feeling of uncertainty generated. This, however, is the
very reason why FFF is so effective. Users are forced
to genuinely try to figure out possible benefits –
which often leads them to identify previously
unidentified needs or audiences for new products.
