Boulder UI/UX Meetup - Design Studio Method
This document describes a design studio workshop method for generating ideas to solve problems. It involves five main parts: 1) presenting the problem to research, 2) sharing knowledge through personas, 3) individual sketching of ideas, 4) presenting ideas to the group, and 5) getting feedback and critiques to iterate on ideas. The goal is to get a variety of perspectives, encourage participation, and quickly come up with solutions through visuals and collaboration. The workshop is intended to be an initial brainstorming session, not the final solution, with the best ideas then developed further after synthesizing all concepts.

Creative thinking - How to get out of the box?
This document discusses thinking outside the box and creativity. It argues that thinking outside the box is both easy but difficult, and it is necessary for humans to maintain their dignity. It provides guidance on why think outside the box (to prove yourself different), which box to think outside of (the boundaries of what is known), how to do it (through absurd or innovative ideas), where to go (value long-term thinking about new ideas), what to do there (assess new ideas), and when is the best time (when the environment allows for divergent information and new ideas). The document uses the example of a TEDx talk being held during halftime of a football match to illustrate thinking creatively outside normal constraints.

Provocations - Designing Experiences to Nurture Innovation and Creativity
One goal of maker-centered classrooms is to have students make purposeful and imaginative creations. A more important goal is to develop the maker mindsets that help them to continually do so on their own - to become innovative if you will. The burden of coming up with project ideas needn't be the teacher's, but can instead be the students'. The teacher's responsibility becomes creating conditions in which children's innate imagination and curiosity can lead to creative and innovative outcomes. But this isn’t as straightforward as one might think. In fact, it is actually quite challenging, especially when you consider the material and tool options available (or not available) in schools. The workshop will share pedagogical practices that have been developed and used by veteran #MakerEd educators in their own classrooms, which span PS-12 settings. Participants will leave the session equipped with a framework that can help guide them via a more intentional planning approach to designing maker experiences. But this isn’t a sit-and-get course. Participants will make their way through a number of experiences designed using this framework to give them playful opportunities to explore new possibilities. Come ready to build, both physically and mentally!

Each hat represents a different perspective or thought process: white for objective facts, red for emotions, black for caution, yellow for benefits, green for creative ideas, and blue for organization and control. The six hats method structures group discussions to consider an issue from different angles in a set sequence, allowing for a more comprehensive analysis that incorporates logic, creativity, and feelings. Applying the hats helps remove ego and confrontation from problem solving so groups can effectively generate, evaluate, and implement solutions.

Brainstorming is a group discussion technique used to generate ideas and solve problems. It was invented in the 1930s and involves spontaneously contributing ideas without criticism. Effective brainstorming requires a clear problem definition or "brief" to focus on, diverse participants, and a structured yet creative process. The process includes establishing ground rules of aiming for quantity over quality, welcoming unusual ideas, building on others' contributions, and using techniques like creative prompts to spark new thinking when ideas are lacking. The goal is to produce many ideas that can then be evaluated and refined into promising solutions.

The Great American Songbook Composers and Their Greatest Songs
I came to the Great American Songbook seeking freshness and novelty, but a came through a different door. The gateway to GAS was jazz. I began listening to jazz in high school and my knowledge and interest broadened and accreted over a long arc of decades.
I have a fascination with these songs and their composers and the performers and their zeitgeist. I want to share it and ignite your interest and curiosity. Look up these tunes, performers and composers on YouTube: it is your free jukebox music library of just about every tune. You can even see the original performances in the Hollywood musicals! This is an amazing time and you have access to it all at your fingertips, so grab your smartphone and earbuds!
There are few things more precious and interesting than a Golden Age. There was a Golden Age of a particular kind of music that ran from the twenties through the fifties: the golden age of popular standards; the songs that constitute The Great American Song Book. These tunes were written by dapper, creative giants like Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hart, the Gershwins, Johnny Mercer, Hoagy Charmichael, Jerome Kern, and Dorothy Fields. Urbane sophisticated talents who created a body of work that effortlessly captures that urbanity and sophistication.
They created tunes focused on the subject of romantic love and exploring all the stages and aspects of the arc of a great love affair: from the initial “walking on air” to the jaded ennui of “never again”. They were obsessed with this theme and subject. Describing, exploring, and driving deep into all its mysteries. These composers and lyricists were in love with Love.
These tunes wed lyrics and music into songs that were crafted by songwriting teams originally centered around Tin Pan Alley; The Brill Building on Broadway in Mid town Manhattan. These songwriting teams in many cases split the composing tasks along functional lines: one writing the music and on writing the lyrics. The composers were writing vehicles for others to perform and usually pitched the tunes in the context of a Broadway or Hollywood musical. They were cranking out tunes for the Hollywood and Broadway dream factories at a prodigious pace. They really worked! Cranking out so many songs, they have a tossed off, effortless quality and a guileless directness. They feel unpretentious and casual: genuine and authentic. But their craft and genius raise these songs to high art.
Many of these tunes became popular hits in their own right, lifted out of the shows and movies, and have been recorded by all the great performers. Fred Astaire debuted many of these tunes and was a favorite of the writing teams. He was known as much for his singing as his dancing! Diana Krall, Harry Connick Jr. and Michael Buble are some of the latest to pay homage to the songbook.

Inventory: Buffer or Suffer operations and supply chain management
Understanding and managing inventory is a critical strategic and operations endeavor; buffer or suffer!
Receivables and inventory are usually financed with a line of credit (revolving debt like a credit card). Managing receivables aims to making sure that all your customers pay and that they pay in a timely manner; you need that cash in the door! Managing inventories also means not letting inventories build up. You do this by monitoring sales and manufacturing activity. You want enough inventories so you can accommodate a spike in sales, but you also don’t want to risk having too much inventory that you can’t unload. This is especially important with products that have a short life cycle and can become obsolete. If not sold in a timely manner this might force you to discount them heavily and take a loss. Operations management is carefully focused on this potential problem. .
You can quickly asses how a company is doing in this regard by looking at their balance sheet and comparing Current Assets to Current Liabilities and seeing if there is a larger amount of Current Assets. Do this comparison for the last few years and you can see if there is a change in Working Capital and if it is due to a build-up of inventories.
