The process of product discovery has a lot in common with something we do everyday, breathing in and out. This presentation is an experiential exercise in learning how to find the right problem to solve before you commit big money on developing your solution.
This document provides 10 tips for small meeting facilitation:
1. Focus on understanding the attendees, their backgrounds, and expectations rather than yourself as the facilitator.
2. Prepare interactive exercises and questions rather than just a presentation. Ensure there is buffer time for discussion.
3. Research the attendees to understand their concerns, interests, and knowledge related to the topic.
4. Rehearse your facilitation to ensure you stay on time and have room for interactive elements.
5. Be yourself and draw on your personality and strengths rather than trying to act formally.
6. Keep the day structured with breaks and a maximum of 30 minutes for presentations to maintain engagement.
This document criticizes the overuse and misuse of PowerPoint in business presentations. It argues that PowerPoint is often used as a crutch by presenters to fill time without conveying meaningful information. Several quotes lament how PowerPoint enables boring, disorganized presentations that waste time and resources. The creator of PowerPoint likely did not intend for it to be used this way and to lower the bar for public speaking.

Short story starters (incongruent juxtaposition photos)greepie
This document provides instructions for using incongruent juxtapositions in photographs and freewriting to generate ideas for short stories. Participants will view photographs presenting unlike things in unexpected ways and freewrite without stopping to allow ideas to emerge. They are advised to view photos in different ways and write repetitive or unrelated thoughts until relevant ideas appear. After freewriting, participants will reread their work and circle ideas that could be developed into unique short story concepts. The goal is to use tension created by incongruous visual elements and an open-minded freewriting process to inspire new narrative ideas.
As a Christian leader, you are held to high moral, ethical, and social standards. As a leader, you are held to high standards, but as a Christian leader, that bar is raised even higher. Why? Because both the Christian and non-Christian social environment has tended to expect that Christians measure up to their self-proclaimed moral and ethical standards, as they rightly should. What can you do to be sure you ‘stand up to the test’ in the area of Christian leadership?

Kate Arms-Roberts discusses strategies for overcoming writer's resistance and block. She notes that resistance comes from fear, whether conscious or unconscious. To manage resistance, one must notice when it occurs, establish routines to reduce resistance, and implement daily practices like process activities, productive writing, and self-care. These habits can be supported through recording progress, self-reward, and celebration of creative output. Working directly with Arms-Roberts, she can help tailor specific rituals and routines to an individual's needs to continue creating despite resistance.
Does the fear of public speaking keep you up all night? Well, you don't need to suffer any longer.

Most of the people nowadays fail to get a job well done in real time or end up with a poor outcome because they just can’t help themselves from procrastinating.
Procrastination is a perfect way for us to get stuck up and yet, many of us keep being totally unaware of this phenomenon controlling and harming our lives. Unknowingly, we always easily create or find persuasive arguments right in our minds to delay the tasks that are at hand.
Nevertheless, you must decidedly avoid it if you want to be productive.
Don’t ever let procrastination take over your whole life. Don’t do it because you can avoid it.
Here are12 effective strategies for you to avoid procrastination and become more productive.
This document provides 8 ways to refresh yourself when feeling tired or stressed. They include drinking a glass of water, taking 15 minutes to empty your mind, writing down worries in a box to dismiss them, recording past successes, taking 5 minute breaks every 2 hours, spending time in nature, symbolizing yourself with personal items, and rearranging your home or work space. The overall message is that small changes can help refresh your mindset and improve focus.
The document discusses the visual design process for redesigning the user interface of Trend Micro Titanium security software. It describes exploring different styles, concepts, and iterations to make the interface simpler, lighter, and more visually appealing. The final design used animations, image sprites, and a video to help tell the story and engage users. The document emphasizes that every visual element impacts the user experience and inspires designers to believe in themselves.
Procrastination is the act of delaying tasks that need to be completed. Around 15-20% of people are chronic procrastinators. While procrastination has a negative connotation, postponing less important tasks can sometimes be beneficial. The roots of procrastination often include perfectionism, fear of failure or criticism, and poor organization. These can lead to a slippery slope of distraction and avoidance of important tasks. Breaking large projects into smaller, manageable pieces and prioritizing the schedule can help reduce procrastination.
This document provides 8 tips for creating engaging presentations: 1) Plan your presentation beforehand, 2) Limit bullet points and include short sentences, 3) Use high-quality photos but credit sources, 4) Differentiate your presentation with structure and stories, 5) Keep the audience engaged from beginning to end, 6) Rehearse your presentation, 7) Use examples and statistics to illustrate points, and 8) Make eye contact with the audience. The overall message is that an engaging presentation requires planning, visual aids, rehearsal, and connecting with the audience.
How to deliver a great speech (every time)Hugh Culver
The document provides 11 tips for delivering a great speech every time. The tips include preparing the equipment and space, warming up the audience beforehand, focusing on serving the audience's needs over delivering a message, reducing slides to highlight the key points, using stories to teach lessons and apply ideas, crafting an outstanding opening and closing, avoiding wasting time with unnecessary details, varying vocal tones for emphasis, purposefully moving around the stage, adopting powerful body language, and engaging the audience during the speech. The overall message is to focus on preparing well and serving the audience.
Imagine that you’re on the brink of a huge milestone. Maybe it’s a major opportunity you’ve been waiting—an interview for a dream job, a big project at work, a public speaking event. It feels like all eyes are on you. You’re sweating bullets and your heart is racing. What happens when you start? Do you crush it? Or do you freeze up?

The Path of Pain: Mastering Game Design in 20 steps - takeawayKacper Szymczak
We all have a Design Muscle. In order for it to create what one wishes it to, it must be trained. It must be submitted to painful exercise. It must be strengthened to the level where it won't matter if the time is lacking, if your boss wants 10 versions just to scrap them all, if the editor is crashing, if the topic is boring, or you're working on a clone. The philosophy the speaker will present is grounded on mastering excellence and focusing on the fascinating craftsmanship of game design, which is - as often forgotten - a world of fun in itself.

Demystifying Creativity: a handbook for left brainers.David Murphy
The document provides a framework for creative problem solving aimed at "left brainers". It begins by addressing common refrains from left-brainers that they are not creative. The goals are then to demystify creativity and provide a useful framework. This framework involves four steps: Define, Know, Collaborate, and Invert. Various techniques are described for each step, such as using the "five whys" to get to the root problem, gathering relevant knowledge from three categories, using a "six hat" team approach, and thinking about the problem from different perspectives. The document argues that creativity comes from structured processes and knowledge rather than being random or a "hollow exhortation".

Business is a ‘Game of Inches’ and not a one off event. 99% of successes come from many small, practical steps rather than the single ‘Eureka’ idea. Ask your people to invent the next iPhone and they get paralysed by the pressure. Give them achievable processes for everyday small-scale innovation and they can achieve greatness.
Having interviewed well over a 100 Australian business leaders, owners and entrepreneurs, definite patterns stand out. There are very actions they all take and behaviours they all adopt. It is clear that success is not about you you are but what you do.

This document summarizes key ideas from the book Rework by Jason Fried and DHH. It presents over 30 concise tips related to starting and running a business, such as embracing constraints, focusing on the essential, hiring for skills over experience, and valuing inspiration over extensive planning. The tips encourage taking action, simplifying processes, and prioritizing quality over quantity. The summary is intended to provide a high-level overview of the document's main ideas in a brief format.
Simple Lessons I Learned as a PM by Facebook Product ManagerProduct School
Main takeaways:
- Learn to give and receive feedback the right way
- Think of failures as keys that unlock a better future
- Recognize your strengths and manage your weaknesses
This document discusses how failing fast and often can help you succeed. It argues that small failures allow you to learn quickly and improve. The key is viewing failures as learning experiences rather than defeats. Small, incremental steps and experiments are recommended over big plans that may never materialize. Taking action, even if imperfectly, is important for learning and growth. Maintaining curiosity, trying new things, and getting feedback from diverse communities can help you discover unexpected opportunities.
Big I initiatives was the way it used to be done. Heavily research influenced, markets were overanalyzed and innovations became front page stories. Today, the world has shifted to research in the small. Hypothesis driven design has taken form. Innovation is now seen in smaller, more frequent announcements.
This is a lecture I have to Georgia Tech's Scheller MBA program in 2018.
This document provides an overview of bitcoin and blockchain technology. It discusses how bitcoin works as a cryptocurrency where value is determined by supply and demand. It has no central authority and uses cryptography and a distributed ledger called a blockchain to record transactions. The document then explains key aspects of bitcoin including how mining works to validate transactions and provide security, current inventory and reducing block rewards over time, comparative volatility to traditional currencies, and how the distributed blockchain ledger records transactions anonymously across a network. It also discusses different types of blockchains and potential other uses for blockchain technology beyond just representing money.

Gamify it until you make it Improving Agile Development and Operations with ...Ben Linders
So many challenges, so little time. While we’re busy developing software and keeping it operational, we also need to sharpen the saw, but how? Gamification can be a way to look at how you’re doing and find out where to improve. It’s a great way to have everyone involved and get the best out of people.
In this presentation, Ben Linders will show how playing games with the DevOps coaching cards can help to explore your current development and deployment (DevOps) practices and decide as a team what to improve or experiment with.
The games that we play are based on an engagement model. Instead of imposing change, the games enable people to pull in ideas for change and apply those in a way that best suits their collective needs.
By playing games, you can learn from each other. Teams can use games, exercises, and coaching cards to discuss values, principles, and practices, and share their experiences and learnings.
Different game formats can be used to share experiences on DevOps principles and practices and explore how they can be applied effectively. This presentation provides an overview of playing formats and will inspire you to come up with your own formats.
Why Psychological Safety Matters for Software Teams - ACE 2024 - Ben Linders.pdfBen Linders
Psychological safety in teams is important; team members must feel safe and able to communicate and collaborate effectively to deliver value. It’s also necessary to build long-lasting teams since things will happen and relationships will be strained.
But, how safe is a team? How can we determine if there are any factors that make the team unsafe or have an impact on the team’s culture?
In this mini-workshop, we’ll play games for psychological safety and team culture utilizing a deck of coaching cards, The Psychological Safety Cards. We will learn how to use gamification to gain a better understanding of what’s going on in teams. Individuals share what they have learned from working in teams, what has impacted the team’s safety and culture, and what has led to positive change.
Different game formats will be played in groups in parallel. Examples are an ice-breaker to get people talking about psychological safety, a constellation where people take positions about aspects of psychological safety in their team or organization, and collaborative card games where people work together to create an environment that fosters psychological safety.

1.) Introduction
Our Movement is not new; it is the same as it was for Freedom, Justice, and Equality since we were labeled as slaves. However, this movement at its core must entail economics.
2.) Historical Context
This is the same movement because none of the previous movements, such as boycotts, were ever completed. For some, maybe, but for the most part, it’s just a place to keep your stable until you’re ready to assimilate them into your system. The rest of the crabs are left in the world’s worst parts, begging for scraps.
3.) Economic Empowerment
Our Movement aims to show that it is indeed possible for the less fortunate to establish their economic system. Everyone else – Caucasian, Asian, Mexican, Israeli, Jews, etc. – has their systems, and they all set up and usurp money from the less fortunate. So, the less fortunate buy from every one of them, yet none of them buy from the less fortunate. Moreover, the less fortunate really don’t have anything to sell.
4.) Collaboration with Organizations
Our Movement will demonstrate how organizations such as the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, National Urban League, Black Lives Matter, and others can assist in creating a much more indestructible Black Wall Street.
5.) Vision for the Future
Our Movement will not settle for less than those who came before us and stopped before the rights were equal. The economy, jobs, healthcare, education, housing, incarceration – everything is unfair, and what isn’t is rigged for the less fortunate to fail, as evidenced in society.
6.) Call to Action
Our movement has started and implemented everything needed for the advancement of the economic system. There are positions for only those who understand the importance of this movement, as failure to address it will continue the degradation of the people deemed less fortunate.
No, this isn’t Noah’s Ark, nor am I a Prophet. I’m just a man who wrote a couple of books, created a magnificent website: http://www.thearkproject.llc, and who truly hopes to try and initiate a truly sustainable economic system for deprived people. We may not all have the same beliefs, but if our methods are tried, tested, and proven, we can come together and help others. My website: http://www.thearkproject.llc is very informative and considerably controversial. Please check it out, and if you are afraid, leave immediately; it’s no place for cowards. The last Prophet said: “Whoever among you sees an evil action, then let him change it with his hand [by taking action]; if he cannot, then with his tongue [by speaking out]; and if he cannot, then, with his heart – and that is the weakest of faith.” [Sahih Muslim] If we all, or even some of us, did this, there would be significant change. We are able to witness it on small and grand scales, for example, from climate control to business partnerships. I encourage, invite, and challenge you all to support me by visiting my website.

Editor's Notes
Tell me about yourselves. What kind of audience do we have. Ask about experience in Design Thinking
What do you think of this quote?
[Note: We’ll revisit this slide later to demonstrate why I am not a fan of this quote, and the fact that it is highly unlikely Ford even said this]
[The next 5 slides prep for the initial 8 minute exercise]
Here are the questions we will place on a separate handout that only the Scribes will see:
What was the Creator’s first question?
Did the Creator get the Customer to demonstrate a task or did she/he just ask questions?
How long did it take before the Creator started using the clay?
Did the Creator ask for any backstory information? For instance, “Tell me about when you were first introduced to this meal.”
Did the Creator ask any why questions, like “What makes this your favorite meal?”
Did the Creator ever pivot on his original idea?
Did you feel the Creator was responding to visual clues the Customer provided?
What problem did the Creator solve for her/his Customer?

Let’s discuss the exercise. We will use the Scribes as the ones providing the readout. I will be taking notes so that we can incorporate their discoveries throughout the exercise as examples.

Reveal: No Market Fit
Seriously, the main reason startups fail is that there isn’t a market need for what they built? How did that happen? How does a company spend that much money building a product only to find there isn’t a need?
It’s because they weren’t asking the right questions at the right time.
The process of asking the right questions at the right time and determining what is important to the potential consumer is called Discovery. Discovery is a critical component of Design Thinking.
[Note: These next 12 slides are intended to go very quickly, creating a bit of anxiety of how complicated many in the industry have made the process of discovery. We will later demonstrate the simplicity of the BIBO model in comparison]
Everybody wants to know how to do customer interviews so badly, they are even relying on Quora.
Good news – there are a ton of resources
Apparently there are 5 steps. No 8. No, a different 5
1. There are 44 ultimate questions must ask
2. Apparently, only 10 of them are any good.
3. and 3 of them are better than the great ones.
And some bad questions
Be careful, though, as there are 3 ways to fail
and you can waste your time
Keep in mind that it is an art
that requires structure
Good news – I’ve got some tips to help you.

Oh, you’ll need to do 100 of these a day.
[This is just a static image of the video so that we don’t accidentally show the video in the nest slide before we are ready]A typical product management interview reminds me of the scene from The Notebook where Noah (Ryan Gosling) asks Allie (Rachel McAdams) a very simple question.
[Build: Must be played in order to watch]
But, alas, this is still what many of our customer interviews turn into.
The challenge is with all of these trees of information, we are missing the forest of what we are trying to accomplish.
We are overcomplicating what should be a fairly simple process.
The reason I dislike this quote is because the real thing people wanted was to go faster. Somehow we have abused this to mean that “customers don’t know what they want.” They may not know what they want, but they absolutely know what problems they want to solve.
Stop for a minute. I want you to pay attention to your breathing. How fast are you breathing? Is your stomach moving in and out or just your chest?
[Insert story of going to a vocal pathologist and learning I was breathing wrong]
[Build: This slide must be played to make sense]
Here’s the average respiration for adults living in the United States.
[Build: This slide must be played to make sense]
Here’s the recommended respiration rate. Practice with me. How does it feel?
Because we breathe quickly we often breathe shallow – with our chest instead of through our chest (sometimes called belly breathing)
This simple mistake led to my vocal problems. It an also lead to higher blood pressure, stress and a number of other pulmonary issues.It came to me that our creative problem solving process behaves very much like breathing. It’s something we think we do well,
when in reality it leaves much to be desired. As I thought about it further I realized that much of the thinking we use in product
design, product management, and engineering follows the same pattern of flow as our breathing.
[Build: This slide must be played to make sense]
Explain convergent versus divergent thinking.
[Build: This slide must be played to make sense]
Our problem solving skills actually can be divided into 2 separate respiration cycles – one diverge/converge cycle for the problem space, the other for the solution space.
I’ve developed the term Cognitive Breathing to represent this natural diverge/converge, problem/solution space cycle.
The exercise we just performed took in all of these stages (to some degree). If you were like most, you spent very little time in the divergent problem space and then jumped to problem convergence because you had already figure out what problem to work on.
Many will rush the first process so that they can get to their comfort zone, the solution space.
OK, nice theory, but how can I use that?
Watch their expressions for clues
Look for unmet aspirations “What is one thing you would like to be able to make but typically don’t?”
Be cognizant of the stage you are in and don’t leave until it is time.
Spend 75% of your time in the problem space.

Backstories provide richness and often a lot of hidden information that you wouldn’t otherwise get.
Backstories provide richness and often a lot of hidden information that you wouldn’t otherwise get. Ask questions about their environment. Is the kitchen small? How is it laid out? What time of the day? What are some constraints?
Wandering helps prevent confirmation bias and many other cognitive biases. It also helps you see what others have not.
