Are you constantly coming up short on forward-thinking ideas and prototypes that excite your test audience? Time for a new course of action - Design Thinking! Join us in this complimentary training lesson as we introduce you to the five key factors of The Design Thinking Process and show you how to begin implementing innovative and successful project solutions.
Design Thinking: The one thing that will transform the way you thinkDigital Surgeons
What's the one thing that will transform the way you think? Design Thinking. The startups, trailblazers, and business mavericks of our world have embraced this process as a means of zeroing in on true human-centered design.
Design Thinking is a methodology for innovators that taps into the two biggest skills needed in today’s modern workplace: critical thinking & problem solving.
Of course, if you ask 100 practitioners to define it, you’ll wind up with 101 definitions.
Pete Sena of Digital Surgeons believes that Design Thinking is a process for solving complex problems through observation and iteration. At its core, he describes it as a vehicle for solving human wants and needs.
Minds are like parachutes; they only function when open. Thomas Dewar was a Scottish whiskey distiller.
Communicating ideas or insights is often the hardest part of the design process. And PowerPoint and Excel spreadsheets are limited in their ability to do this. But the communication tools used in Design Thinking—maps, models, sketches, and stories—help to capture and express the information required to form and socialize meaning in a very straightforward, human way.
The Five things that all definitions of Design Thinking have in common:
1. Isolating and reframing the problem focused on the user.
2. Empathy. A design practitioner from IDEO, the popular design and innovation firm strapped a video camera to his head and it was only then that he recognized why the ceiling is such an important factor when working with hospital patients. As a patient you lay in bed and stare at it all day. It’s these little details and true empathy that can only be realized by putting oneself in the user’s shoes.
3. Approach things with an open mind and be willing to collaborate. Creativity with purpose is a team sport.
4. Curiosity. We have to harness our inner 5-year-old here and really be inquisitive explorers. Instead of seeing what would be or what should be, consider what COULD be.
5 - Commitment. Brainstorming is easy. It’s easy to want to start a business or solve a problem. Seeing it into market and making it successful is not for the faint of heart. We’ve all read about big “wins” (multi-billion dollar acquisitions like Instagram and WhatsApp). What we don’t read about are people like Tony Fadell and Matt Rogers, who work for years before becoming industry sensations.
Pete describes what he refers to as the “Wheel of Innovation” as a process that continuously focuses on framing, making, validating, and improving on your concept. Be it as small as a core feature in your product down to the business model and business idea itself.
Design is about form and function, not art.
What are the business benefits for Design Innovation?
IDEO started an idea revolution when they coined this phrase DESIGN THINKING. Organizations ranging from early-stage startups up to Fortune 50 organizations have capitalized on this iterative appr

The Design Thinking process first defines the problem and then implements the solutions, always with the needs of the user demographic at the core of concept development. This process focuses on needfinding, understanding, creating, thinking, and doing. At the core of this process is a bias towards action and creation: by creating and testing something, you can continue to learn and improve upon your initial ideas.

Design Week Portland - The Art of the BrainstormeROI
How do you solve the problem of brainstorms? While they can be enlightening and build momentum, they can also bog down a team and create friction.
In this talk we identify key weaknesses in brainstorming, and provide solutions and new techniques to help get the most out of your team.
Myself and a fellow group of Product Managers did the IDEO HCD course in order to learn about IDEO's famous innovation techniques. We learnt a lot, and here I digest how it can be used in a product mgmt setting.
Companies the world over are wasting their time in brainstorms.
Is this because brainstorms are a waste of time? Of course not. They are just doing it wrong.
This presentation offers insights into how to make every brainstorm workshop a success.
- and generate many better ones!
Your idea wants to die, so let it. This destructive workshop will force you to build a controlled burn of your own ideas - necessary for growing stronger and juicier ones for the future.

While many business people appreciate the power of design,

Design, this drawing asserts, is simply magic – a mysterious

Our advice: don’t be put off by Brennan’s view of design.
Design has many different meanings, and the approach we will
describe here is more akin to Dorothy’s ruby slippers than to a

Designalwaysbeginswithempathy–establishingadeepunder-
standing of those for whom you are designing. Managers who

customers’ shoes. We all know we’re supposed to be ‘customer-

personal than that: trueempathyentailsknowingyourcustomers

In addition,managerswho thought likedesignerswould view

management, we have mostly paid attention to the science part.
Taking design seriously means acknowledging the difference
betweenwhat scientistsdoandwhatdesignersdo:whereas scien-

is, designers invent tomorrow to create something that isn’t.

Finally, design insists that we prepare ourselves to iterate our

Overview of the potential financing options available to Cypriot startups based on their stage of growth. Exploring the key information investors are looking for in a startup by exploring a pitch deck.
For decades Cyprus has been established as a vibrant business hub with a thriving
economy. Cyprus’ economic performance is indicated in various global reports
documenting the set of factors that contribute to its developed high-income status.
With this report the Centre for Entrepreneurship of the University of Cyprus intends to
evaluate these favorable conditions in relation to the formation, operation and evolution
of entrepreneurship in Cyprus.
The presentation will be focused to show that, an idea is nothing without the hard work that most of the times, no one thinks of. Will try to give an inside point of view on how a Cyprus based company treats ideas and solutions salespeople in general, what they should be prepared for, what options/ decisions they should take before requesting a business meeting. General understanding of B2B and B2C models, what a business concept is and why is needed, how do companies operate towards expenses – a brief inside of budget and time frames.
By 2020, several key building blocks of the future tech universe have been firmly established. Significant progress in areas such as quantum computing, big data, artificial intelligence, robotics and immersive reality have been made, enabling a clearer understanding of how tech will develop in the next 10-20 years.
By 2030, emerging robotics and AI will have made remarkable progress in changing the face of current industries and processes. Most fast food outlets will run mainly on robotic labour, with human labour representing only a small fraction of total spend. AI will be able to support, and eventually supplant, at least 90% of current effort implemented by service professionals such as accounting, consulting, or law.
And by 2040, we will feel comfortable enough with this technology that it will be widely adapted. Our cities, homes and workplaces will be transformed through technology and predictive analytics. Self-driving vehicles will reduce congestion and pollution. Robots will remove the need for widespread human labour. Most processes, such as financial management, will be fully automated and managed by intelligent agents, removing the need for mundane tasks like queuing at a bank or going to a supermarket for groceries.
Advances in gene therapies and biological – mechatronic interfaces will rapidly transform medical technology and health outcomes. These have the potential to not only significantly expand human lifespan, but also improve human health.
At the same time, it is clear that as a society and as a government / economic policy, we are far behind the curve in understanding how these will affect our educational systems, employment and the very idea of human potential.
Comparatively few citizens will be able to adapt successfully to gainful employment (or entrepreneurship) in the future tech society. This means that families and citizens today need to start making decisions for how they will live 20 years from now. These decisions affect their own educational and investment choices, as well as the very nature of our society.
Philip Ammerman will discuss the future trends in tech and how these will affect companies, families and governments in 2030 and 2040.

The seminar will present the data sets, methodology and key findings of two AUEB funded research projects on the new entrepreneurial paradigm and the startup ecosystem that emerged during the recent economic crisis in Greece.
The programme will provide the participants with the necessary skills to help them negotiate effectively, and at the same time maintain good relationships with their counterparts.
By the end of the 2-hour workshop, participants will be able to:
Apply the necessary negotiation tactics depending on the situation
Adjust their behaviour and style depending on who they are negotiating with
Avoid errors and traps that lead to dead ends in negotiations
Everyone has great ideas, and many of us have more than one. But how can you evaluate your idea to understand whether it’s good enough to launch as a business?
Το design thinking είναι μια ανθρωποκεντρική, διεπιστημονική προσέγγιση που έχει ως στόχο να βοηθήσει τις επιχειρήσεις (π.χ. νεοσύστατες εταιρείες) να αλλάξουν και να καινοτομήσουν. Το design thinking ακολουθεί μια προσέγγιση η οποία συνδυάζει δημιουργική και ορθολογική σκέψη, και περιλαμβάνει μια διαδικασία που αποτελείται από ενσυναίσθηση (emphasize), παραγωγή ιδεών (idea) και δημιουργία πρωτοτύπων (prototype).
The gaming industry is exponentially expanding touching everyone's lives daily without even realizing it. Millions of games have been released and are now readily available for us to play from our living room to our social media on our phone. Working in this industry is truly fascinating. Working in a truly global company with offices around the world is even more fascinating.
I will share with you my knowledge on gaming, discuss its future and teach you best practises in working with teams of different cultures.
Σε αυτή την παρουσίαση θα καλυφθούν τα βασικά για το επιχειρηματικό σχέδιο: τι είναι, γιατί το χρειαζόμαστε, σε ποιους απευθύνεται, τι περιέχει – ορισμοί για κάποιες έννοιες, ποια “εργαλεία” χρησιμοποιούνται για την δημιουργία των σημαντικών ενοτήτων του, ποιοι οι λόγοι απόρριψης του από τους επενδυτές και ποια είδη κινδύνων στην εκπόνηση του.
Its not always easy to have your interview done face to face with the company you want to work and is miles away from you. First impressions are key and many companies ask for either a live video interview or that you explain yourself in an one minute video.
How do you do that? What are the crucial things to avoid in such situations? Yes you might be doing the video home but should you be wearing your favorite sports t-shirt while the TV is on in the background?
We will talk about the right set up, the right lighting, and how to make eye contact even through a camera. Simple steps of video editing will be shown as well as examples will be given.
The threat of automation implies a race between education and technology. In most countries, education systems are not providing workers with the skills necessary to compete in today’s job markets. The growing mismatch between skills demand and supply holds back economic growth and undermines opportunities. At the same time, the returns to human capital are high in most countries, and a growing skills premium is evident in much of the world. Automation simultaneously results in deskilling and imposes a need for new skills, and is changing what education will need to look like in the future.

Book Formatting: Quality Control Checks for DesignersConfidence Ago
This presentation was made to help designers who work in publishing houses or format books for printing ensure quality.
Quality control is vital to every industry. This is why every department in a company need create a method they use in ensuring quality. This, perhaps, will not only improve the quality of products and bring errors to the barest minimum, but take it to a near perfect finish.
It is beyond a moot point that a good book will somewhat be judged by its cover, but the content of the book remains king. No matter how beautiful the cover, if the quality of writing or presentation is off, that will be a reason for readers not to come back to the book or recommend it.
So, this presentation points designers to some important things that may be missed by an editor that they could eventually discover and call the attention of the editor.
