What new product or service could you invent that would completely change your customers’ lives? How could you disrupt your entire sector?
This practical workshop takes you through an innovation process, helping you to identify the clichés that exist in your sector and giving you the tools and time to redefine them. The workshop provides techniques to disrupt those clichés, generate genuine customer insights, turn opportunities into ideas through proven ideation methods, create a coherent concept and then articulate that concept.
The workshop shows you how to realise a new product or service through a lean process of prototyping and iteration and we discuss case studies each step of the way.
Find out why focus groups are not design research. Find out why the average brainstorm gives ideation a bad name and find out how to make your own innovation processes have tangible business outcomes.
This workshop was ran at UX Cambridge in September 2013 and will be running again at the J. Boye conference in Århus, Denmark in November 2013.
DIY UX: Give Your Users an Upgrade (Without Calling In a Pro)Whitney Hess
Have you fallen in love with your solution and forgotten the original problem? Are you certain that your product actually makes people’s lives better? Not every company can hire someone like me to help you listen to your users, so you’re gonna have to learn how to do some of this stuff yourself. I’ll show you techniques to find out who your users are, what they really need and how to go about giving it to them in an easy to use and pleasurable way. And it doesn’t have to bankrupt you or kill your release date.
Haven’t heard of Liberating structures before? It’s alright, the majority of us haven’t.
But then, have you ever been to long meetings where you had to stay silent throughout? Although meetings are an inevitable part of getting the best ideas and your teams together, they can also be toxic killing productive hours if not properly structured.
What if there were methods for you to optimize your meetings into idea-machines with total engagement and shorter durations? That’s something that all of us who attend meetings should know in the first place - that’s exactly what Liberating Structures does.
Liberating Structures is an innovative concept that could disrupt the way companies hold meetings today. These are simple structures designed to facilitate meetings based on the participants focussed on results.
Get immersive at the hands-on workshop on the essentials of Liberating Structures at the 75th Palladium edition of FAYA:80. Learn how you can transform your team meetings into idea generation camps and a platform for engaged discussions from Mr. Cipson Thomas, an experienced Agile coach and Liberating Structures evangelist.
Join in for the discussion if you strongly believe that meetings could be made better. The session will be immensely beneficial for all enthusiasts, programmers, managers and all others who have attended meetings before and would like to get introduced to transform their meetings into better-engaged discussions.

Working remotely has many benefits but also some obvious and non-obvious challenges. Discussions about remote work also often tend to be generic, however each discipline require its own kind of variations, and design isn’t different.
A lot of the tools available to designers are meant to be used in person, but what if we happen to work remotely, or we want to switch a product team to being remote? How to build trust, gather feedback and craft a unified vision? This talk takes inspiration from some of the practices of Automattic’s teams to overcome some of the unique challenges of remote working.
These solutions will also be beneficial to any designer who desires to engage with open source projects, as they are by definition remote.
This talk was done the first time at WordCamp Brighton 2017.

Our advice: don’t be put off by Brennan’s view of design.

How to put people at the centre of planning people powered campaigns - Tracy ...more onion
Presentation from ECF Europe 2019: https://europe.ecampaigningforum.com In this workshop we will explore the key principles of human centred design and how to apply these to your campaigns for change. We'll look at what it means to build a campaign on empathy to engage new audiences, and use insights from empathetic understanding to spark creative ideas. We'll practice the key principles behind creative collaboration and you'll walk away with a framework and methods you can take home to come up with creative campaign ideas with your own team. Finally we will explore what it means to prototype and test campaign ideas early on. I'm not talking about A/B testing here, rather qualitative testing to ensure you're headed in the right direction from the beginning. This will be a hands on workshop with tools you can use and examples of campaigns that have put this model into practice.
This presentation gives a brief overview of user experience design and important principles of user-friendly design. Meant for those just starting in the UX space or looking to improve their knowledge!
Topics covered include:
What is user experience?
Different research techniques: when to do what type of research, how to formulate strong questions
Creating a persona
Problem statements
And more!

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
UiPath Test Automation using UiPath Test Suite series, part 4DianaGray10

The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne
Clients don’t know what they don’t know. What web solutions are right for them? How does WordPress come into the picture? How do you make sure you understand scope and timeline? What do you do if sometime changes?
All these questions and more will be explored as we talk about matching clients’ needs with what your agency offers without pulling teeth or pulling your hair out. Practical tips, and strategies for successful relationship building that leads to closing the deal.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Immerse, Imagine, Invent, Articulate: A framework for disruptive innovation
1. Immerse, Imagine, Invent
& Articulate
A framework for disruptive innovation
Presented by Paul-Jervis Heath at UX Cambridge on Wednesday 4 September 2013.
MH ModernHuman.
2. Hello!
• I’m most at home in a design studio. I’ve spent 15 years designing
services and digital products for big, international clients and small,
disruptive start-ups.
• I’m Principal of a design practice and innovation consultancy called
Modern Human; I lead the team there. I’m also Head of Innovation at the
University, while we establish an innovation centre.
• We use human-centred design to help businesses invent their future.
We’ve worked in lots of different sectors and done lots of different
design projects such as in-car information systems, smart home
appliances, concepts for retail stores of the future, established an
innovation practice at University of Cambridge, and lots of other things.
3. Today’s workshop squeezes a week
of our innovation intensive course
into 3 hours.
Inevitably, we’ve left quite a lot out
but I hope today will give you some
useful skills to take back to work and
a taste of that course.

17. What are we looking for?
• Workarounds: Quick, seemingly efficient solutions that address the symptoms of
a problem not the root cause.
• Values: People’s values play an important role in their motivations. What do they
value? What’s important to them? What’s not?
• Inertia: Situations in which customers act out of habit. How can you leverage or
break that inertia?
• Shoulds vs. Wants: People struggle with the tension between wants: things they
crave in the moment; and shoulds: things they know are good for them in the
long term. How can you help people move from where they are to where they
want to be?

20. What did you find out?
• Close your laptop and revert to low-tech methods for analysis! It moves you out
of your own normal situation.
• Write each observation on a post-it note (get some rectangular post-its for this).
Print out all the photos you took.
• Build an insight board of all of the post-its and photos.
• Affinity Sort: organise it into themes. Code your observations. This all lays the
groundwork for recognising insights.
• Observations are raw data. Insights are the interpretation of patterns in your
observations.
21. Look for the unexpected and ask, why?
• Don’t try and think about everything at once. Find a good place to start.
• Don’t focus on the obvious. There’s a risk that you just confirm your own
preconceptions and prejudices.
• Start with unexpected observations.
• Why is this a pattern? Why is it unexpected? Why is it meaningful?
22. Insight: A common failure of cleaning
floors is not a lack of water but an excess
of water that causes water to slop dirt
around.
Cliché: People use mops with water to
clean floors
Hypothesis: What if mops did not use
water
Opportunity: Provide people at home
[who] with a faster way to clean floors
[advantage] without using water [gap].

23. Just your team?
• Recruit some users, or go out and find them guerrilla style.
• Immerse yourselves: diary study, shadowing, contextual interviews.
• Analyse the findings; look for the opportunities.
24. … or, involving everyone.
• Train & Facilitate: Teach others how to be the researchers. Have them go
out and immerse themselves through contextual research. Work with
them to structure the study and get together to analyse the findings and
insights.
• Open: Ask people to submit their own observations and insights on a
challenge using an Open Innovation platform. At Modern Human use
our own platform to manage innovation challenges for our clients.
27. 3 questions:
1. What do you want to disrupt?
2. What are the clichés?
3. What are your disruptive hypotheses?
Adapted from:
Disrupt: Think the unthinkable to spark transformation
in you business, 2010, Luke Williams.
28. What do you want to disrupt?
• How do you meaningfully differentiate this product or service from
everyone else in the same space?
• What situation are you going to challenge?
• For example,
-
This is an area where profit performance is average – it really should be more successful than it is.
-
This is a category where growth is slow and everything seems the same.
-
It boils down to… “How can we disrupt the <category> by delivering an expected solution”

36. Let’s try it out.
🕔 30-mins
Open the briefing pack, read the contents.
•
•
What disruptive intervention could you make?
•
How could you invert, deny or scale those clichés? Try inverting, denying or
scaling each of your clichés.
•
What would be your disruptive hypotheses? Identify the strongest 3 as your
disruptive hypothesis.
•
Tell us about it! Take the rest of the room through your thinking in a 5-minute
presentation.
What are the clichés in that industry, and about that experience? Generate 12-18
cliches about that experience.

40. “ You can discover more about
a person in an hour of play
than in a year of conversation.”
– Plato: Greek Philosopher, Mathematician & Student Of Socrates
42. Rapid Ideation
What?
•
One reason teams end up with under-developed ideas is that we stick with the first good idea we
have, rather than taking the time to explore complementary approaches.
•
This game combats that pattern by forcing us to generate lots of ideas in a short period of time.
•
Take 8 sticky notes
•
You have 5 minutes from when I say “go” to sketch 6 to 8 ideas.
•
We’ll play 4 rounds.
•
After each round I’ll ask you to present your ideas to the group very briefly (2 minutes each).
•
The idea in each round is to either generate new ideas, build on your own ideas or build on ideas of other
people.

and changemakers. 2010. Gray, Brown and Macanufo.
44. Quickly building on ideas
What?
•
In a space visible to the players, write the topic around which you need to generate
ideas and draw a quick sketch of it.
•
•
•
Take your set of index cards and silently write an idea on each card.
•
Continue this process of brain writing and passing cards to the right until there are
various ideas on each card.
Pass the first of your ideas cards to the person on your right.
When you receive a card, read the card and think of it as an “idea stimulation” card.
Add an idea inspired by what they just read or to enhance the idea and then pass
again to their right.

46. Interesting Combinations of Attributes
Step 1:
•
As a team decide on two sets of attributes that define a matrix. E.g.

and changemakers. 2010. Gray, Brown and Macanufo.
47. Interesting Combinations of Attributes
Step 2:
•
Populate the matrix creating a grid of possible new combinations
Step 3:
•
Do a quick sketch of each idea that comes out of those combinations.

48. When you get stuck, go in new directions
Force Connections
Blend ideas
Blend benefits
49. Let’s do it.
•
•
•
•
🕔 30-mins
Use one or more of the ideation techniques we’ve discussed to create a concept.
Generate as many ideas as possible in 45-minutes.
Do not critique the ideas now.
Practice divergent thinking.
51. Let’s try it.
•
•
•
•
🕔 15-mins
Use the How, Now, Wow matrix as a structure to critique your ideas.
Not all ideas have to go on the matrix, feel free to discard ideas at this stage.
This is the stage to critique your ideas.
Practice convergent thinking.
52. Just your team?
• Decide what you’re going to disrupt. Identify the clichés. Form your
disruptive hypotheses.
• Use the insight from research as stimulus to your ideation sessions.
• Divergent thinking is the key so run several rounds of an ideation game.
• Don’t give up until you’ve got more than 100 ideas.
• Rate the ideas, select the best.
53. or, involving everyone?
How many?
• 20-30: run a series of codesign workshops inviting people into the
studio to
• More than that: Run a large, open codesign workshop or idea jam (like a
hack day for ideas).
-
Hire a suitable space, invite lots of people, form them into teams and introduce the challenge brief then
let them go for it.
-
Divergent idea generation and convergent idea selection.
-
Discuss at half-way point. Pitch at the end.
56. Refine ideas into concepts
• What is the concept?
• Who is the primary end user?
• Why should they care? What are the benefits?
• How will this idea deliver those benefits?
57. Define your concept
Illustrate the concept through a combination of…
• storyboards that describes the concept
• diagrams explaining how it might work
• high-fidelity mock-ups of the concept
58. Use this Slide to Make Bold Statements!
Early stage prototyping
provides validated learning.
59. Experimenting with prototypes.
• Use prototypes to learn about user behaviour with your concept
• Validates emergent service against business objectives and goals
• Validates Concepts with Users
• Use Scenario Testing, Concept Probes, Cognitive Walkthroughs with Real
Users, Mock environments, Roleplay.
60. Iterate and refine.
• Iteration is vital for success
• Treat the concept as a hypothesis not as a definitive solution
• Learn everything you can
• Adapt to what you learn
• Refine the concept, refine the prototype
• Test Again
62. or, involving everyone?
• Facilitate: Do teams have time and skills to develop the concepts on
their own or with support from design practitioners?
• Dedicate the team: Can teams whose ideas show promise be given
dedicated time to incubate their ideas into concepts?
• Bring into a central team: Is it better to use a central design team to
develop the ideas into workable concepts?
65. Articulate the future state.
• Disruptive ideas can be hard for companies to adopt because they’re
disruptive – companies embrace disruptive ideas when they believe it
will deliver value.
• Identify and convince the stakeholders needed to take the solution to
the next level. Those who will allocate capital, technology and people.
• A longer pitch isn’t better. Constrain yourself to 9-minutes: 10 seconds to
grab their attention and 8min 50sec to hold it!
• Whether you use the structure on the next slide or not, it’s a useful
thought exercise.
66. Make them
believe
Build Tension
Create Empathy
Structure
The Status Quo
The Observations
The Story
The Insight
The Opportunity
The Analogy
Give them the turning point
Make it familiar
The Advantages
The Ethos
Make change appealing
Leave them on a high
Tell them what they don’t
know
The Solution
67. Just your team?
• Who are you pitching to? Find the right stakeholders and sponsors that
can make the concept happen.
• Pitch it. Support the pitch with concept material.
68. or, involving everyone?
• Lead up to a pitch day.
• There has to be a serious commitment to adopt new ideas beforehand.
• Have designers to act as mentors and coaches.
• Have the challenge teams pitch their ideas to a panel of the business’
stakeholders and decision makers.
• Give teams the pitch structure to help them (they might not be
professional pitchers).
• Select the best ideas to develop further.
