The communications industry is in a period of massive change. It is a time when more than ever, we need to be grounded in an understanding of people’s evolving behaviour and needs. But at this moment of opportunity the industry is waking up to the fact that instead of leading the way, a lot of qualitative research is based on faulty assumptions, has not kept up with cultural change or scientific learning about how the brain works, and may actually be hindering success. This is not the fault of researchers: most companies use market research poorly and don’t ask for innovation in research. But this situation runs the risk of damaging qualitative research’s value and credibility at a time when it is most needed; and researchers, clients, and agencies need to work together to win that credibility back.

Most designers are experts at improving upon existing experiences - but how does your process translate to a brand new product? How do you make the case for input modalities no one's ever used in your context before?
Cheryl shares some of the design processes and techniques she used to help get the Echo Look from a blue-sky idea to a tangible, validated experience in the hands of customers worldwide. You'll leave with a clearer picture of how your own skills translate to new product work - and what to expect when you're breaking new NUI (natural user interface) ground on your projects.
Thoughts on the New Serendipity @SXSW2013Nguyen Duong
Some of my takeaways from the panel discussion on creating and preparing for serendipity. It's a new concept and conversation topic for me, and it's something that has been intriguing me since Austin.
This is a presentation we did in Shoreditch house on 5th November based around Creative Social's new book: Hacker, Maker, Teacher, Thief: Advertising's Next Generation, now available on Amazon
The Secret to Actually Producing Great Visual StorytellingLeslie Bradshaw
It's 2014 and there is no question that visual storytelling is an important tool in every marketer's tool belt. However, how to swiftly produce consistent, cost-effective and beautiful work is a lot less obvious. To arm you with the methods, resources and workflows you need to win at visual storytelling, we've asked marketer and data visualization pioneer Leslie Bradshaw to share her playbook. In her own words the session will deliver: Less hype. More do.
Hello. My name is Tim Nolan. I head up BBH Labs and serve as the Interactive Group Creative Director at BBH New York. I have proudly served the Internet since 1996. I created this book along with my partner in crime, Jen Lu, a Creative Mutant currently working at Droga 5. We would like to thank Bernstein & Andriulli for granting us access to their amazing roster of talented illustrators and designers to make this endeavor come to life. This book is meant to be used as a point of inspiration through its words and images. It is also, by design, meant to be a fun piece of interactive media to enjoy. There is a lesson tucked away in that last sentence.
Design Thinking for Startups - Are You Design Driven?Amir Khella
This presentation provides some best practices and tools to help small business entrepreneurs and startup founders in creating a culture of innovation.
Whether you're working on a web 2.0, iPhone or a physical gadget, these simple practices are universally applicable.
***Note****
I will be running a webinar in October 2009 to expand on the points mentioned in this presentation, study design thinking use cases and stories and answer questions. Please leave a comment and follow the discussion, or follow @amirkhella on twitter to get notified about the webinar.
Research traditionally uncovers known complaints and desires in terms of what
people will tell you. However it is via contextual or ethnographic observation
that you can witness “real world” behaviors, influences, scenarios,
technologies, and actors all of which help you get the sense for what will
truly delight someone or alleviate frustration.
Noticing where people spend their time doing things they “have to” and
don’t “want to” will lead to inspiration of what would make their life
more convenient and less frustrating. An observation of what people want to do,
enjoy doing, or look forward to doing, will lead to inspiration around what
will make them shout from the rooftops in glee.
In this presentation we will discuss how research inspires design and how
reality inspires creativity.
If you simply ask users about what would make life better, you will rarely get
meaningful answers. They are just not good at envisioning revolutionary
solutions. It is really easy trap to fall into during a traditional usability
test to ask “what would the ideal experience be for you?” Unfortunately, if
you base your design on those responses, you won’t get a breakthrough.
Instead of relying on divine intervention for new ideas, we will focus on
activities such as Laddering, Game play, Storytelling and Triading that can
help expose opportunities for radical innovation and designing products that
people can’t live without.
Buhle Dlamini's Owning The Future is a must for organisations and individuals that are serious about being at the forefront and lead the wave of the new economy. While it gives a very strategic and futurist message, it is also light in style. Inspiring, eye-opening, practical and full of ideas you can walk out and apply immediately

How do you keep a brand new product alive, keep stakeholders passionate, and keep your customer at the center of it all all from behind a veil of secrecy?

2. Why?
I personally am a fan of an inspirational quote
to make a point, tell a story, & break up a deck.
