Keynote given on May 30 @ DesignOps Global Conference.
In the world of design and Design Operations, leaders struggle to create insight into the success level of their design teams so that appropriate resources can be attained.
Presented by Ari Weissman. How do you start from scratch? How do you build and grow a UX team within your organization where none existed?
Many organizations “do UX” in name only. There are people who might have the UX Designer title, but aren’t talking to users, leaving the product or engineering teams to drive the experience. It’s not that these organizations don’t want to be user-driven. It’s just that they don’t know how. That is what I walked into when I started as Director of UX for [my company].
This is the story of my ongoing successes and failures at building a UX practice. It’s not about one decision, but the many strategies you can employ to build, grow, and thrive.

Using Developmental Evaluation to Support Prototyping:A Workshop unitedwaycgy
There is increasing recognition that the problems we and our communities face are complex, dynamic and not easily solved. Our solutions must be as equally complex and dynamic and social innovation (SI) has emerged as a promising method that can guide the development of these complex solutions. A key practice in social innovation is prototyping and the ability to learn quickly in order to make rapid, yet informed, decisions about the ongoing trajectory of our work.
This workshop will introduce participants to the principles and functions of prototyping in a SI initiative and the Developmental Evaluation approach that guide learning, decision making and iteration.

Assessing Your Current DesignOps Practice: A Heuristic Model - Dave MaloufWeb à Québec
Many companies are finding that they are being asked to add a DesignOps practice to their existing design organizations. This is great news, because by adding an operational mindset, and putting intentional design to one’s design operations, only better design will happen, which is the point, eh?
But how can I measure and communicate success? How do I even know what success is? How can I prioritize, and roadmap planning, and growth of my DesignOps practice?
In this lecture, I will propose a system that can be easily deployed and even customized so that as a design leader or a DesignOps leader you can show anyone in your company where you are at and where you are going to be working to mature practice and why.
These are detailed notes from the visit at the Copenhagen's Danish Design Centre, which had on display a very informative exhibition on a model for a design-driven innovation, developed by the Danish Design Centre.
Design-driven Innovation (DIN) is a tool for developing better responses to complex challenges while ensuring implementation through a design-driven approach.
I was interested in the potential of this model for designing public communication.
The credit for all the information in this document goes to Danish Design Centre.
Similar to Evaluating the Impact of Design Thinking in Action III (20)
As part of MURAL Imagine: mural.co/imagine — Maria Giudice, Executive Leadership Coach and Founder of Hot Studio, presented on changemakers on July 21, 2020.
From the presentation abstract:
We are witnessing a time of unprecedented change. No one was prepared for the frequency and intensity of change we are experiencing at a global scale. But rising from our collective grief and loss, we can begin to see sparks of creativity that are leading to new possibilities in life. And guiding us through this transition is a new breed of leader, the Changemaker.
This talk will:
• Define and describe the unique qualities of the Changemaker
• Share stories from other Changemakers’ successes and challenges that they’ve encountered along the way.
• Discuss strategies that can help you develop your own skills as a Changemaker in your life or at work.
Darden Business School professor Jeanne Liedtka continues her webinar series on 'Evaluating the Impact of #DesignThinking', this time as part of #IMAGINE2020, focusing on the ‘social technology’ aspect of design thinking.
On March 3rd, our own Jim Kalbach was joined by Parker Lee, managing partner at Territory, and Jim Van Over from the Chief Innovation Office at ServiceNow to discuss the #WorkForward movement they've started - and how you can be a part of it.
Enthusiastic about the diversity of recent design thinking approaches, but frustrated that an opportunity to truly establish design thinking as a discipline might be missed, the What Could Be team developed the Design Thinking Canvas as a common first step in planning your design and innovation projects.
In this webinar, David Townson introduces the logic behind the Canvas, acknowledges key influences, explains its structure and gives a quick-start guide on a number of ways to use it.
MURAL Webinar: Empowering Remote Teams To Collaborate VisuallyMURAL
In this webinar, Maura Hoven (Sr. Product Designer, UserTesting) will share the methods she applies to her mostly-remote team of designers, engineers and researchers so they can regularly flex their design muscles - getting everyone involved, on board, and making design a habit that fits alongside their day-to-day obligations.
Empowering People To Use Design Thinking In Their Everyday WorkMURAL
In this webinar, Chris Pacione, LUMA CEO & Founder, introduced us to the LUMA System of Innovation and shared practical examples that will help you:
• Become a more confident and capable problem solver
• Equip your team to collaborate, think differently and deliver more impactful solutions
• Transform your organization into a place where people and innovation flourish
In this webinar, Daniel Stillman of The Conversation Factory will share some simple frameworks for facilitating one-on-one conversations, workshops, and meetings of all shapes and sizes - drawing from research gathered on his podcast The Conversation Factory and his book 9 Conversations.

Make Meaningful Progress Via Remote Design SprintsMURAL
In this webinar, Joe Lalley (Head of Product Management & User Experience at PwC) and Greg Smith (Sr Creative Account Manager at PwC) share how their team broke the cycle by running a fully remote design sprint. They reference how they planned and ran the sprint - including the advantages, disadvantages, and surprises.
In this webinar, Joni Saylor, Design Principal at IBM and Dean Davison, Principal Consultant at Forrester explain the payoff of IBM’s early investment in “virtual studios” and their journey & evolution to be able to work in person and remotely.
Follow along with the webinar recording at blog.mural.co
MURAL commissioned Forrester Consulting to conduct a Total Economic Impact (TEI) study and examine the potential return on investment (ROI) that enterprises may realize from using MURAL. To better understand the benefits, costs, and risks associated with MURAL, Forrester interviewed IBM as it has used MURAL for several years in different areas of its enterprise.
In our connected age, consumers have real power. Customers can research your product or service, compare it to a competitor's, and easily make a switch. Grasping their overall experience is business critical.
Visualization is key way Customer Success professionals understand the customer experience. We're all familiar with customer journey mapping, for instance. But mapping in general is also an important approach for customer success.
In this talk, Jim Kalbach, author of the bestselling book Mapping Experiences and Head of Customer Success at MURAL, will be joined by Senior CSM Alicia Ness to share some of their modern approaches to visualizing customer success.
Facilitating Remote Design Thinking: IBM WebinarMURAL
Like most large enterprises, IBM’s success relies heavily on teams spread all around the globe. More important, their success relies on the ability of these distributed to effectively collaborate as well as they would in person. They still demand highly productive remote design meetings, as well as workshops and sessions focused on Design Thinking.
Perhaps no one knows this better than Jordan Shade and Eric Morrow, design coaches and facilitators at IBM. Eric, who is also a certified LUMA instructor, and Jordan help teams around the world implement best practices to facilitate engaging and productive remote design sessions, and they recently shared their secrets with us.
Design Visual and Engaging Meetings Using MethodKitMURAL
Let's face it: meetings are hard to get right. They either lack structure or are too structured. People don't feel their voices are heard, and it's hard to reach consensus.
"Create an agenda in advance," the experts advise us. But that doesn't seem to help. And running remote meetings is even harder.
There's a better way. Using the MethodKit for Workshop Planning cards we will show you how you can use cards to design dynamic meetings that hit the sweet spot between structure and creativity.
The principle is simple: most projects have recurring steps. Don't recreate them each time. Instead, use cards to focus the discussion on the project and be confident you won't leave anything out. It's easy, flexible and engaging.
To learn more, watch this free webinar with Ola Möller.
HIGHLIGHTS
- The value of using MethodKit cards
- How cards provide better overview and engage teams
- How to use cards in remote team activities

MURAL is not like other documents. It’s a large wall you can solve problems on visually.
Turn those differences into an advantage. Work better creatively together, no matter where your team is.
Here are five best practices to help you get the most out of MURAL:
Know your scale. MURAL is big. MURAL is spatial. Know the scale you are working at. Keep the default sticky note, and work to that size.
Keep it together. MURAL is big. You can map out all kinds of content and complete multiple steps of an activity in one place.
Work visually. MURAL is big. MURAL is visual. Work visually to help you find new patterns and solve problems better. Add color, images, links, arrows, lines, and icons to enhance the content.
Maintain momentum. MURAL is collaborative. Invite your team to collaborate in real time or independently.
Go digital first. MURAL is digital. Get content online fast to save time, effort and money. Rethink your process for digital. Capture offline work in MURAL.
People are using MURAL for all kinds of processes and activities. Get inspired by all the ways you never knew you could use MURAL. In this presentation, we show a variety of examples, including some real-life case studies.
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.
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.

1. What are the actual organizational practices in use that constitute “design
thinking”
2. What kinds of outcomes are DT practitioners observing, related to its use?
19. Factor 1: Improved Implementation and Adaptation Factor 2: Individual
Psychological Benefits
Factor 3: Network Capability and
Resource Enhancement
• Enhanced your ability to pivot when initial solution didn't
work
• Improved the likelihood of the implementation of new
solutions
• Made it easier to discard solutions that didn't work as
planned
• Encouraged shifts in organizational cultural that made it
more customer-focused
• Encouraged changes in organizational culture that
made risk-taking more acceptable
• Kept people motivated to work on a project to achieve
impact
• Broadened organization's definition of what innovation is
• Increase a sense of ownership and acceptance of a
solution
• Increased appreciation for use of data to help drive
decisions
• Created a sense of safety to try
new things
• Gave employees more confidence
in their own creative abilities
• Helped people interested in trying
new things to connect and support
each other
• Encouraged people's open-
mindedness to try new things
• Built new relationships locally that continued
after the initial project was completed
• Expanded access to new resources for
individuals and teams
• Helped pool resources for greater impact
• Enhanced other stakeholders' willingness to
collaborate on new solutions
Factor 4: Increased Solution Quality Factor 5: Trust Building
• Helped teams see the problems in new ways, resulting
in solving more promising problem
• Increased engagement of employees involved in the
Design thinking process
• Allowed new and better solutions, not visible at the
beginning of the process, to emerge during it
• Fostered the inclusion of user input
• Helped people involved to examine their own biases
and preconceptions
• Built trust among team members
• Built trust between problem-solving
teams and other stakeholders

28. AND SO…PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS
• There exists a widely shared set of practices that operate under the umbrella of “Design
Thinking”. The use of those practices, in general, did not vary significantly across business,
nonprofit, and government organizations.
• An exploratory factor analysis produced a three factor Design Thinking Practices solution, with
three focusing on Discovery and Ideation, Team building and functioning, and Prototyping and
experimentation.
• An exploratory factor analysis produced a five factor Design Thinking Outcomes solution, with
five factors focusing on Increased solution quality, Individual Psychological benefits, Improved
implementation and adaptation, Network capability and resource enhancement, and Trust
building.
• The use of specific 11 Design Thinking practices correlated with each of the five Design thinking
outcomes. Five “super” practices - Formed a diverse team, Emphasized active listening, Executed
real world experiments, Focused problem definition on user’s perspective, and Generated a
diverse set of ideas - were among the most frequent significant predictors of DT outcomes.
• The value of experience appears to have thresholds for most factors.
30. 1. Begin to systematically think thru the possible universe of outcomes
2. Identify where you are currently performing well to tell your story
3. Identify where you are missing opportunities for impact
4. Utilize pre-test/post-test measures to demonstrate impact
HOW CAN YOU USE THE NEW MEASUREMENT
INSTRUMENT?
Observations:
Across 3 waves, not a lot of differences as we compare the 3 waves (can look at correlation matrix)
Did we rerun the factor analysis on the practices to see if the 2 groupings that emerged before still work? I am still intrigued as to whether there are different user profiles hidden somewhere?
Likelihood of particular outcomes being reported (in order) with % variance explained:
1. Improvements in solution quality (61% of variance explained by practices here)
2. Stakeholder benefits (43% explained)
3. Individual psychological benefits (46% explained)
4. Systems level networking benefits (33% explained)
5. Improvements in implementation and management of change (60% of variation explained) – note: megan believes something else is happening re: this 5th factor
Data suggests that there are thresholds for the value of investing in increasing expertise
