Structured Ideation and Design Thinkinggaylecurtis
At the heart of a design thinking process is ideation, the capability for generating and relating ideas.
Brainstorming is a frequently practiced form of ideation, and this presentation describes the four rules of classic brainstorming. It also gives guidance for how to structure brainstorm sessions to drive direct and indirect benefits.
Co-creation brings groups together to jointly produce a mutually valued outcome.
Today’s business world: we meet to talk about what we’re going to do, we go off in our vacuum, we create something, we come back to review, we get feedback, we debate, we revise, and ultimately create something that doesn’t hit the mark from all sides. This is wildly inefficient and produces subpar products.
Pinaki Kathiari, co-founder of Local Wisdom and Stephen Garguillo, Senior Manager of Creative Engagement at Johnson & Johnson, have changed this model in their teams. Co-creation can be used with clients and agencies, companies and customers, between internal departments, basically any number multi disciplined teams looking to produce something.
In their talk 7 Do’s and Don’ts for Co-Creation, Stephen and Pinaki talk about the important aspects of how to bring people together to create fantastic outcomes. From knowing why and when you should co-create, to facilitation, and keeping a bias towards action, you’ll learn what it takes to produce awesome work together than hits the mark from all angles.

Effective communication is everyone’s job—whether you are trying to sell in a concept or convince a client. Visual Thinking can help us take in complex information and synthesize it into something meaningful. In an increasingly fragmented and cluttered world, simple imagery, metaphors and mindmaps can get people to understand the abstract and make your ideas tangible. Find out why why thinking visually may be one of the most sought after abilities of the 21st century.

Interviewing Users: Spinning Data Into GoldSteve Portigal
Interviewing is undeniably one of the most valuable and commonly used user research tools. Yet it's often not used well, because
* It’s based on skills we think we have (talking or even listening)
* It's not taught or reflected on, and
* People tend to "wing it" rather than develop their skills.
Results may be inaccurate or reveal nothing new, suggesting the wrong design or business responses, or they may miss the crucial nuance that points to innovative breakthrough opportunities.
In this day-long session, we'll focus on the importance of rapport-building and listening and look at techniques for both. We will review different types of questions, and why you need to have a range of question types. This session will explore other contextual research methods that can be built on top of interviewing in a seamless way. We'll also suggest practice exercises for improving your own interviewing skills and how to engage others in your organization successfully in the interviewing experience.
