This document discusses common issues with offshore software development and provides recommendations. It notes that communication challenges due to time zone differences can exacerbate other issues. Cultural differences may cause problems to be covered up. Talent can be difficult to find, high turnover is common, and quality control needs to be aggressively managed. The recommendations include daily minimum 30-minute calls, using Slack for informal communication, keeping the same team lead, conducting code reviews, planning for mentoring and time overruns, and using firm fixed-price contracts.

The Rise of the Creative Class - Ed Morrissey - Integrity Web Consulting
A brief presentation discussing the current Conceptual Age and driving value of the Creative Class. Given November 5th, 2021 for the AIA - Christopher Kelley Leadership Conference in St. Louis, Missouri.
Design for Start-ups (and everyone)
A presentation given by Ed Morrissey during the 2010 StL Innovation Camp that highlights the importance of design for start-ups, product developers and everyone else.
Code Camp Presentation
The document discusses Carl Ludewig's experience as a serial entrepreneur and software engineer. It summarizes his background founding startups since 1998, including Ad Infuse which he co-founded and later sold. It then discusses his current venture, Ludewig Multimedia, which aims to make application development easier. The document provides advice for entrepreneurs on starting companies and the importance of vision, risk tolerance, and drive over financial motivations. It also emphasizes that technology alone does not determine success and that design and customer focus are more important.
What is Design Thinking?
Is Design Thinking important? We think it is - it’s one of our 8 building blocks for digital transformation. But what it is it, and why? In the run up to the Global Legal Hackathon, we thought we’d distil our workshop slides and ideas with an associated blog post to explain it.
Let’s set the scene with five quotes from experts and artists you will recognise explaining what design really is:
"The ultimate defense against complexity” - David Gelernter, Professor of Computer Science, Yale
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - Leonardo da Vinci
"Design is a way of changing life and influencing the future” - Sir Ernest Hall. Pianist, Entrepreneur, and Philanthropist
“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer - that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs
“Design-thinking firms stand apart in their willingness to engage in the task of continuously redesigning their business… to create advances in both innovation and efficiency - the combination that produces the most powerful competitive edge.” - Roger Martin, author of the Design of Business
Innovator's DNA - What makes top leaders innovation gurus? Unlock your innova...
The Innovator's DNA - based on research conducted in the groundbreaking book by innovation gurus Jeff Dyer, Hal Gregerson and Clayton Christensen - unlocks the mystery behind the great leaders of innovative companies. What makes them tick? Surprisingly, we find that top innovative leaders share similar behavioral traits. They are questioners, experimenters, networkers - these behaviors drive their ability to be innovative.
Innovators are not "born with it" - research shows that only general intelligence is genetic, but creativity can be learned.
So then the question is: what about you? How can you train yourself to become an innovative leader, and flex your innovative muscles?
We provide the answers with the Innovator's DNA workshop and assessment program. Visit our website or the innovators dna site, or buy the book today. Our program trains leaders, teams, executives and senior managers to understand what drives innovation within them - and how to bring it out more regularly.
The Innovator's DNA - NYU Integrated Marketing Presentation
This document summarizes the key skills and traits of innovative individuals and organizations. It identifies five discovery skills that innovative people possess: associating, questioning, observing, networking, and experimenting. Successful innovative companies have three elements in their DNA - people with discovery mindsets, processes that systematize innovation techniques, and philosophies where innovation is a company-wide priority. The document provides examples of innovative companies and teams that exemplify these traits.

UX-Driven Innovation
When UX strategy drives innovation, the end result is more than technical capability and beautiful interfaces: it is an experience differentiated by helping people surpass their goals and exceeding their expectations while delivering engaging, motivating, enjoyable, and memorable experiences. How can we plan and work toward new products and services while keeping the user in mind? How can we adopt and implement UX strategy? And, most importantly, how can we change the way we identify and pursue new opportunities so that we are leading the pack rather than chasing the competition? Take UX out of the design studio and include it in strategic research and planning to drive innovation in your business.
What is the “Secret Sauce” of Innovation?
This document summarizes a study that identified 5 discovery skills that distinguish highly innovative entrepreneurs:
1) Associating - Making connections between diverse ideas and fields of knowledge.
2) Questioning - Challenging the status quo through inquisitive questioning.
3) Observing - Closely observing human behaviors and actions to identify opportunities.
4) Experimenting - Willingly trying new experiences, taking things apart, and testing ideas through prototypes.
5) Networking - Finding and testing ideas through a diverse network of individuals from different backgrounds.
The presenter encourages developing these skills to foster more innovation within businesses and individuals. Examples are provided to illustrate how innovators have used these skills
Visma UX Day 2015
Eric Reiss discusses the difference between innovation and best practices. Innovation addresses problems through new combinations of existing technologies, while best practices represent short-term solutions. True innovation requires thorough research to understand problems, and how solutions may unintentionally create new issues. The goal is to provide an actionable definition of innovation as a planned activity that solves acknowledged problems, often by combining two technologies, and outline a process for successful innovation.
Pushing at the Margins: Intentional Innovation for Managers
This document discusses opportunities for managers to intentionally innovate projects at museums. It outlines four opportunities: 1) treating new projects as experiments, 2) empowering staff as experience designers, 3) building digital and museum literacy into projects, and 4) creating a workplace culture. It also presents five "useful dialectics" to consider when innovating projects: transformation vs. change, network vs. hierarchy, design vs. tradition, literacy vs. fluency, and culture vs. values. The document provides discussion on each of these topics and questions for managers to ask themselves to guide intentional innovation on new projects.
UXPA2019 Experience-Led Strategy: The Role of Design Thinking in Strategy Making
How can UX consultants get into the boardrooms of small and large companies? Can UX methodologies be used to evolve an organisation’s strategy? What are the myths that surround design thinking? Why aren’t these methods used more broadly across organisations? These are the questions I have been researching for the last year. In this talk, I will briefly give an overview of design thinking, candidly present my findings and leave the attendees with a hopefully useful framework they can adopt. This framework can serve as the building blocks of a management toolkit, developed to help organisations navigate the cultural change needed to successfully implement a design mindset.
The Innovator's DNA
The document discusses the five discovery skills that are essential for innovation: associating, questioning, observing, experimenting, and networking. It provides examples of how innovators like Steve Jobs, Michael Dell, and Ratan Tata employed these skills in developing new ideas and businesses. While some may have a natural proclivity for innovation, the document argues that these skills can be developed through practice and consistently thinking and acting differently than the norm. Regularly employing these skills will help strengthen one's innovative abilities.
The Six Elements of Focus to Improve Your Craft
How can focus help our business, our teams, ourselves? This presentation disassembles the difficulty we have in achieving various kinds of focus (vision, goal, users, pragmatism, attention, calm) and gives practical tips on how to approach and improve each of them.
This talk was originally prepared for ThemeConf (themeconf.com) and From the Front (2015.fromthefront.it).

1 Coffee Pot, Many Disciplines: Why Space Matters for Innovation
1 Coffee Pot, Many Disciplines: Why Space Matters for InnovationMassachusetts Institute of Technology
The document discusses how physical space can impact innovation and entrepreneurship. It describes how Bill Aulet and Sanjay Sarma designed spaces at MIT to foster collaboration and experimentation, like the Martin Trust Center for MIT Entrepreneurship. The spaces are meant to help people relax and allow for random associations that can lead to new ideas, rather than focusing too narrowly. A coffee pot symbolizes the goal of creating an informal, comfortable environment that promotes exploration outside of one's comfort zone.hackathon presentation skills
The document provides tips for presenting at a hackathon competition. It advises speakers to understand their audience of judges, clearly define their project and intended users, and focus on what they accomplished rather than failures. Presenters should know how they will be judged, deliver valuable information to the audience, and anticipate questions or objections in order to effectively communicate their project.
Designing Mobile Solutions for Social & Economic Contexts
Technology should help solve problems for people, but all people (and their problems) are unique - there is no one size fits all. This is especially true of Mobile, where environments and user needs are much more diverse than in other computing platforms. For instance, building mobile applications for the widest reach in India requires thinking about feature phones, non-English interfaces, the 'language' of missed calls, low-bandwidth situations, cultural nuances and numerous other unique conditions.
Jonny Schneider and Nagarjun Kandukuru argue that the practice of design thinking helps mobile developers solve the most important problems in context-appropriate ways. They demonstrate how the best mobile applications lie at the intersection of technical feasibility, business viability and crucially, user delight.

Lessons Of Innovation Idris Mootee
This document outlines 10 lessons of innovation based on experience in the field. The lessons are: 1) Innovation involves selling ideas as well as inventing them. 2) Brainstorming needs structure and rules. 3) Creativity is not the same as innovation, which builds on creative ideas. 4) There is no single clear or simple path to innovation. 5) Innovation occurs at the intersection of unrelated ideas. 6) Innovation requires respectful but intense debate of ideas. 7) Innovation benefits from critical evaluation of flaws and failures. 8) Innovation has its own visual and verbal methods of communicating ideas. 9) Prototyping and failing early are important to innovation. 10) Intrinsic motivation, not money, drives radical

Opening up Open Source
Do the words 'open source' scare you (or your boss)? Do you want to contibute but don't know how? Did an angry person reply to your email scolding you for top-posting? This talk is for you! It will cover various real world relevant aspects of open source communites and projects, as well as put to rest various bits of FUD (fear, uncertainty, and doubt) that vendors may throw around. It'll cover best practices for interaction and contributing to open source projects and their communities (specific to archival, and also a more general foundation) on issue trackers, mailing lists, etc., with confidence, so that everyone can benefit.
Traits of a Good Engineer
This document outlines traits of a good engineer according to a talk given by N.R. Rajagopal. It discusses seven key traits: 1) Curiosity - having an insatiable desire to understand how things work beyond surface level issues. 2) Finding ways to break things - looking at boundary conditions and edge cases. 3) Ability to get up to speed quickly on new large codebases. 4) Making tradeoffs between competing factors like time, cost and quality. 5) Designing for long-term maintainability rather than short-term goals. 6) Commitment to lifelong learning as technology continually changes. 7) Taking pride in one's work and enjoying challenges.

Potential issues that can arise with collaboration are also addressed, along with tips for effective pairing.The 360 Developer
The document discusses the idea of a "360° developer" and the speaker's journey to becoming a well-rounded developer. Some key points:
- The speaker struggled when changing jobs from C# to Ruby, lacking context for agile practices and dealing with personality conflicts.
- They realized they needed to develop knowledge, personal, and functional skills to effectively solve business problems. This led to the idea of a "360° developer" with a diverse set of skills.
- The talk outlines developing skills in SOLID principles, design patterns, conflict resolution, mentoring, and cross-domain problem solving to become a well-rounded developer.
Excavating the knowledge of our ancestors
Based on my observations, in IT we suffer from continuous collective amnesia and we are even proud of it.
For at least 50 years meanwhile, we struggle how to build systems, that are easy to understand, to maintain, to change and to operate in a reliable way. Each time we hit the wall again, we start to look for a new silver bullet on the horizon, strongly believing that it will solve the problem for good.
The key word is "new": "New" is good in our community, while "old" is bad, worthless, crap. We suffer from youthism, not only in recruiting, but in all areas. This way we discard any "old" knowledge, no matter if it is valuable or not. We separate by age, not by value.
Additionally we continuously lose our collective memory with every new generation that leaves university as they are also taught not to value anything old and instead only look for the new, shiny stuff.
While not all old knowledge is worth being preserved, admittedly, there is still a lot of valuable old knowledge available, offering answers to the problems that we face today - creating maintainable and reliable systems, dealing with distribution and tackling complexity, just to name a few of the challenges.
This presentation is a journey through some (very) old computer science papers that contain a lot of very valuable knowledge regarding the problems we face today. For each of the papers, some of the key ideas are presented and how they address our current challenges.
Of course, the voice track is missing and there are a lot more papers that would be worth being mentioned in this presentation. Still, I hope that also the slides alone will be of some value for you - and convince you a bit that not everything "old" in IT is automatically worthless ... ;)
Design [Autosaved]
The document provides 13 simple rules for building a network:
1) There is no single right design; simpler is better; use standards whenever possible; document often; test designs before production; proactive monitoring saves time and money.
2) Ego has no place in design; the focus should be reliability, scalability and cost effectiveness for customers.
3) Labs are for testing; production networks should remain undisturbed; proper planning through communication ensures proper performance.
4) No manufacturer can solve all problems; limits to reliability and security are tied to budgets; the most secure device is disconnected; security requires constant learning.
05 DIGI CREATIVE people&process
The document discusses the process of creating digital work. It covers the key players involved, including agencies, clients, strategists, digital producers, production companies, coders, and UX/UI designers. It emphasizes collaboration between these groups. The document also outlines the project process, including phases like discovery, define, design, build, and testing. Key documents in the process are mentioned like functional requirements, technical requirements, site maps, wireframes, and design comps. Tips are provided for going live with the work and managing it after launch. Various online resources for inspiration and tools are also listed.
Software Craftsmanship and Agile Code Games
Join us to talk about what it means to be a software craftsman, how the Software Craftsmanship Manifesto (http://manifesto.softwarecraftsmanship.org/) provides a framework for us to improve.
A large part of being a software craftsman is practice. Using different "code games" we can have a full toolbelt of activities that will help us (and those around us) become better at our craft.
Agile software development promises the ability to deliver value quickly. But this isn’t just a matter of process. Uncle Bob says "the only way to go fast is to go well." But how do we go well? As software developers, we can only deliver features as fast as the code base and our skills allow us. Unfortunately the quality of our code base is directly related to our skill in the past.
Musicians and athletes spend most of their time practicing, not performing. As software developers (aspiring craftsmen) we must have practice sessions that allow us to improve our skills and develop better “code sense”. We’ll look at some different “agile code games” that will help us improve our craft.
Rust and the coming age of high integrity languages
This document discusses Rust and its role as a "high integrity language" that can help address memory safety issues. It provides an overview of Rust's key features like ownership and borrowing that enforce memory safety. It argues that memory safety is becoming an increasingly important issue and that tools like Rust may see more adoption as industries face growing pressure to address vulnerabilities caused by memory safety problems. While Rust's success depends on broader trends, its focus on memory safety positions it well to help industries grappling with this challenge.

Integrity Offshore Development Challenges
- 1. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Offshore Development Common Issues & Lessons Learned Ed Morrissey Partner & Chief Creative Officer 6358 Delmar Boulevard, Suite 444 Saint Louis, MO 63130 ed@integritystl.com www.integritystl.com
- 2. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Purpose • The purpose of these slides are to share Integrity’s experience with offshore development and to provide basic recommendations to support the success of any web software development project. • Common Issues – slides 3 thru 6 • Solutions – slides 7 and 8 • Summary – slide 9 2
- 3. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Common Issues • Communication can be extremely challenging and is necessarily time-limited due to time-zone differences. • Essentially you have a short window in the AM or a late night call to discuss issues with the team. • This single aspect exacerbates all other issues. • Cultural differences, primarily differences in 'power distance', mean that issues tend to be covered up until the last minute unless you very actively work to uncover them. • (see Hofstede's cultural dimensions for more on the culture issue - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hofstede's_cultural_dimensions_theory). 3
- 4. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Common Issues • Talent is hard to find. • Many 'developers' have learned little more than how to find and copy code from the internet. • The big companies suck the talent from the small companies aggressively. • High turnover. • Developers move up the ladder from one job to the next quickly. • Hard to build a cohesive team. 4
- 5. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Common Issues • Often, quality control is extremely poor, and must be aggressively managed. • Very high 'literalism'. Developers will build *exactly* what you spec, nothing more. • Self-initiated problem solving is often limited due to the power distance issue ("can't make the boss look bad"). • This means if someone hits a block, they will simply wait for you to tell them how to solve the problem, rather than figure out how to solve. 5
- 6. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Common Issues • Infrastructure issues. • While this is becoming less of problem, occasional issues like electricity going out at the offshore office for hours at a time. • Design? Forget about it. 6
- 7. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Solutions • Daily call, minimum of 30 minutes is required. • You can't do a strict 'scrum', because you will have to answer questions and clarify issues daily. • Convince the offshore team to use Slack for informal communication outside the daily call. • Keep the same team lead in place across all projects, someone with excellent English and project management skills. • Require that the offshore team demo 7
- 8. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Solutions • Conduct very aggressive and extensive code review. • Plan on stateside code mentoring. • Plan for 30% time overrun on every project. • They will NOT hit your deadline... • Control cost with firm fixed price contracts based on agreed-upon scope. • They pay for their own inefficiencies and screw-ups. 8
- 9. Interactive. Digital. Awesome. Summary • In our experience, a first time encounter with an offshore team is *extremely* painful for stateside teams. • Over time, it can work, but the touted cost savings are marginal once you factor in all the issues that are guaranteed to arise. 9
