It’s a given that much of our success as practitioners depends on our ability to foster meaningful relationships with our colleagues and customers. But what about our relationship with ourselves? When we ignore our emotions, act against our values, and become indifferent to our surroundings, we lose who we really are and run a much greater risk of not achieving our clients’ goals (and our own). In this talk, we'll explore how presence, adaptability, empathy, and influence can be our most effective design tools. And we'll address how to cultivate these qualities through intellectual, emotional, and physical practices we can integrate into our everyday routines.

Platforms of Permission - Fueling CreativityJess Hobbs
How do organizations such as Burning Man, Google, Maker Faire and The Flux Foundation enable people to consistently make such incredible inventions? What can businesses learn from these wildly creative and successful groups? They each prioritize the cultivation of “permission engines,” wherein innovations in art, science and technology flourish without limitation. When people feel inspired, engaged, and supported, and are given permission to exercise their full creative potential, the opportunities for invention are endless. But how do you foster that kind of freedom in your organization?
Ideas are the best of our imaginary power. While most of our ideas get un-stoned and tends to flash away with time, the right practical actions helps us give shape to the idea and desire.
This was the presentation, which I gave in the beginning of my workshop on Design Thinking in the local beathaus. The idea of the whole workshop was to introduce the design thinking methodology to the local community of creative professionals, startup people and corporate representatives. After the presentation I did the famous d.school workshop "The Wallet Experience". It's an interactive workshop that lasts for 90 minutes and takes the participants through all the phases of Design Thinking. It was amazing to see 100 people working with excitement.
N.B. The presentation is mainly photos and examples of interesting design thinking projects. The most valuable part is the reading material at the end.
I've presented this deck as part of the Holistic Young Planners Education for APG Belgium on April 21 2015, at mortierbrigade Brussel.

How To Break Through Your Creative Roadblocks: Learn From Your PeersEngagious
Some people measure creative blocks in terms of weeks or even MONTHS.
>> The fears that hold you back are all centered around how people view you: either not living up to expectations of being judged harshly.
>> "The rest of the organization seems to adore everything I do, but I'm constantly suffering from imposter syndrome" Sound familiar?
>> "I fear that I'm too old and everything is young and hip and fast and techy and no one will honor the life wisdom and worldwide experiences I bring to my craft." Can you relate?
>>"I find myself often choosing the safer path knowing it will be accepted rather than taking risks that I know could result in something great." Is this you?

Design thinking myths - valuing terrible ideas doesn’t mean all ideas are sam...Stephanie Beath
No matter how well you know one another, I have yet to be with a single team where people had clarity about language without first directly addressing it in a workshop.
Take any word and ask people what it translates to in terms of activity – what it looks like when you see it in life.
1. When is something ‘complete’, ‘high quality’, ‘innovative’?
2. What does it look like when you have ‘trust’, ‘integrity’, ‘empathy?
3. How about being ‘bold’, ‘unique’, ‘professional’?
The variation is huge. Unless you nut it out, people agree to something with different expectations of what it means.

How to Manage Creative People – Top Tips from the ExpertsWebdam
We know why you’re here.
You manage creatives or at least you want to, and they’re a tough bunch to figure out. As much as you might want to sometimes, you can’t just treat them like everyone else. – they’re different and they do important work that the rest of us simply can’t replicate with any sort of quality.

They were gracious enough to give us a little insight into how they get such impressive results from their creative teams.
And now we’re sharing that good stuff with you. Enjoy!

They are able to quickly adapt, take advantage of new opportunities, and to pivot to serve customer expectations in a rapidly changing world.

This session will help you deepen client relationships so they never dream of going to anyone else.
Attendees will learn where they have gaps in their client relationships or with providing services, and will leave with a specific plan to fill the gaps and transform client relationships for good.
It’s a given that the work that Accounting firms do today will look very different in the future. New technologies are emerging that will allow practitioners to gain efficiencies and uncover insights in ways that are not possible now, and firms will need to adopt very different methods to attract and retain great talent and keep relationships with clients healthy and strong. At the same time, competition will come from all sides and the firms that can deliver services in a way that clients need and want will be the ones that survive. Chris Hooper, The Accounting Futurist, will examine the major trends that are likely to disrupt practices in the next decade, and will identify steps that firm owners of all sizes can take now to ensure their firm not only survives, but thrives in the exciting new world of tomorrow.

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.

My name is Bennett BlankI spent most of my career as a designer, entrepreneur, and general product guyFor the past 5 years, I’ve been doing this inside a large company, Intuit Inc. makers of QuickBooks, TurboTax, and more)One thing I’ve enjoyed most, is helping create a design-driven cultureBefore it was cool…We’ve come a long way in the past five years, creating a culture of designToday I’ll share a few tips from our early daysSo you can start your own design revolution…
But first, two stories about two designers…The first is a designer whose work feels like a struggleThe second is a designer whose work feels like fun.
Our second signer is the exact opposite…He truly enjoying his workHe’s viewed as a source of inspiration He has support from the top…And a culture that recognizes the value of designDoes this sound familiar?
Our second signer is the exact opposite…He truly enjoying his workHe’s viewed as a source of inspiration He has support from the top…And a culture that recognizes the value of designDoes this sound familiar?
It does to me, because I’m actually both designersI was in the first situationAnd decided to do something about it.
Along with the help of a few hundred of my friends.- The Innovation Catalysts
We set out to change our organization from the ground up.And it’s workingOur grass roots revolution is making big gains!Not only are we seeing increased support for designBut our work is having a major impact on our business,And most importantly, our customers.BTW – We’re having more fun…
So how do you go from A to B?I assume you’d prefer to be the second designerRevolutions require revolutionaries,And a will to take risksThey all begin well in advance with a groundswell of supportAnd build with the help of others…
But here’s the secret – It starts with you.If you want to effect change, you need to take actionIn the next few slidesI’ll show a few moves to get started…
The most important part…View your organization as the customerUse your design skills to find their painsSolve them wellRun experiments to prove it…Leave your ego at the doors
You’re a designer – rock this!Designers have a unique ability to make things realJust Do it!Go above and beyond each and every time
Don’t swim upstream, you’ll just get eaten by the bears.The best place to start might be on a different team or projectYou probably already know the like-minded people Start there!Start small, but go fastBuild your momentum over time.
Your organization has invested in culture – use it to your advantageYou can’t change the weatherUse it to your advantageMake it their idea, not yoursThis isthe most important
Recruit others to your aide…As you experience success – share it!Praise is powerful – share it!There’s plenty of good to go around
Don’t forget….
A huge opportunity exists for those bold enough to take the first stepMany others have done it, you can too…If we can, you can…
