Bootstrap Business Seminar 1: Finding what's broken 2015CityStarters
This document discusses how to find and define good problems. It encourages cultivating curiosity by getting outside more and changing routines. Good problems are defined as important, having clear protagonists and boundaries, an endpoint, and being actionable. In contrast, "wicked problems" have multiple stakeholders, are multidimensional with no clear boundaries, and solutions are partial. The document recommends developing beginner's mind, negative capability, and epistemic curiosity to find problems by exploring the "adjacent possible" and asking open-ended questions.
The document describes the three different stages of engagement with a grants office - idea exploration, proposal development, and grant management. For idea exploration, faculty are encouraged to consult with the grants office about potential project ideas without commitment. For proposal development, the grants office helps coordinate the proposal process which requires collaboration across departments. For grant management, the grants office supports awardees in communication, reporting and ensuring college policies are followed.
This talk will help you build a better partnership with your eng manager in 3 ways. First, you’ll understand what your manager does all day. Second, you’ll learn how to manage up. And third, you’ll see that there isn’t a single person that can manage you perfectly and what you can do about it.

The document provides an overview of starting a business using lean startup methodology. It discusses that when starting a business, entrepreneurs should build the smallest product or service that can test assumptions and provide learning, rather than spending a long time planning or developing a large initial product. This minimum viable product approach helps reduce risk and waste by starting small and using business metrics and experiments to rapidly iterate the business model based on what is learned. The document recommends entrepreneurs focus on metrics related to the value and growth engines of the business to guide product pivots and determine if the business model is working well enough to sustain the venture.

The importance of getting a creative brief rightSean Lane
All creatives have been there (and designers if you haven't, I guarantee you will at some stage), you leave a briefing meeting with no clarity about what the task at hand is. From the get go, you're tredding in quick sand. On the flip side there's nothing better than having the sparks of concepts starting even before you leave the briefing. In this document. My intention here is to keep things simple and help the standard of brief writing. I hope this helps in some way. Sean.
Understand your customer in developing countriesElaine Chen
Customer development is critical for the success for any new product development initiative. But what if your new initiative solves a problem in a developing country? Can you really solve the problems on the ground without spending significant time living in the country where the product will be used? In this talk, we use the Playpump case study to understand why the only real way to build a sustainable venture that solves problems in developing countries is to do primary market research on the ground. We explore a few research techniques you can engage in, including interviews, observation and immersion. This talk includes interactive simulations where participants will learn valuable research techniques via an interactive exercise.

This document provides tips for pitching startups to investors. It begins with an overview of the typical structure of a pitch, including the elevator pitch, problem, solution, market, business model, technology, competition, marketing plan, team, and milestones.

Minimalism as a concept in Product Management by Esmar MesicBosnia Agile
The document discusses the concept of minimalism in product management.

This minimalist mindset values avoiding distractions, simplicity, and focus to get products to market faster through daily builds that can be improved through learning.

2016:02 Personal thoughts in leadership and getting things doneAndres Parraguirre
This document discusses the concept of leadership and what makes an effective leader. It explores what leadership looks like, who inspires leadership, and the purpose of leadership. Key concepts mentioned include leadership being an action rather than a title, inspiring and guiding others, empowering a team, orchestrating efforts, and having an inside-out approach. Effective leaders get things done by having a clear purpose and vision for success, making plans actionable, following up on progress, and modeling the behavior they want to see. They are able to adapt to different leadership models while staying true to core principles.

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.

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.
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.
