“The Collaborative Product Owner” - Haim Deutsch @ProductTank TLV, November 2016ProductTank TLV
A successful Product Owner must master two skills: The first, is sharing the vision, and the second, creating a collaborative environment. Collaboration is a primary human need, it is curved in our brain and turned to be an evolutive accomplishment allowing humankind to solve complex problems. Unfortunately, we were trained to negotiation in place of collaboration.
In his talk, Haim teaches the audience a simple method for achieving collaboration and maintain it, the PM way.
Getting stakeholders to think in customer centric manner is relatively straightforward, yet often yields little in terms of actual change. This requires more than stakeholder support - it requires commitment, trust, and active participation in a process that can be unfamiliar or even frightening in a corporate environment. Workshops provide an opportunity to challenge the worldview of your stakeholders and expose them to the truths of customer behaviour. It’s an opportunity to transform them from supporters to believers by creating an environment where they can experience the magic of a user-centred collaborative process.

1. The document discusses applying design thinking to problem solving. It emphasizes that understanding the problem, reflection, and considering multiple solutions are key aspects of the design thinking process.
2. It then provides a graphic representation of the design thinking process as experienced by the author, which includes phases like knowing the environment, brainstorming, testing ideas, building prototypes, implementation, and rethinking.
3. Finally, the author discusses starting to apply design thinking in small ways within their work context, such as establishing processes and developing strategies, to help address problems related to disorganization.
The document describes six task dispositions or roles that individuals may take on during collaboration: polisher, reality maker, out-of-the-boxer, chair, evaluator, and shaper. For each disposition, it provides a brief description of the role and an example quote illustrating that role. The polisher refines ideas with attention to detail, the reality maker shapes ideas toward the end product, and the out-of-the-boxer is innovative and creative. The chair motivates the group and manages time and resources, while the evaluator provides critical feedback and the shaper builds on others' ideas. The specialist contributes specialized skills and knowledge.

2. It presents the author's perspective on the design thinking process, including stages of empathy, defining and redefining problems, ideating, prototyping, and testing.
3. The author discusses applying design thinking to mechanical maintenance engineering in a chemical factory, including brainstorming ways to train personnel, apply ideation without constraints, use prototyping to simulate parts, redefine solved problems, and write more creative reports adopting the user perspective.
The document reflects on a 6-week Design Thinking course. It discusses what the author expected to learn (a new problem-solving approach, design patterns, cognition/metacognition, theory, and real examples) and what was actually learned (a new "thinking by doing" approach, empathy, prototyping, that doing is a way of thinking, and exciting solutions from real examples). Key takeaways were that doing is a way of thinking, empathy helps obtain better solutions, and prototypes are meant to fail and provide learning. The author discusses applying Design Thinking at work redesigning processes, at home with family complaints, and in personal and community problems.
Karen Bachmann and Lisa McMichael presented different types of listening skills and how those techniques help UXers at the December amUX meetup.
Like many UX practitioners, you are continuously engaged in user research, meetings and workshops. These activities require observing and taking good notes, and listening. But are you really listening or simply hearing what people have to say? For most of us it’s the latter. During the Listen up! Workshop, we’ll discuss the obvious and nuanced differences between listening and hearing, along with some of the barriers and causes that affect attuned listening. And, we’ll get you out of your seat to practice listening methods so that when you leave, you’ll be armed with a better mechanism for listening.

#OVCNaction
All too often, hastily planned brainstorming sessions bring up a lot of good ideas that somehow never get used, while the boring kinds of ideas you are trying to get away from seem to be used again and again. One reason for this is the lack of an innovation plan, according to Jeffrey Baumgartner.
This document describes an innovation and problem-solving accelerator called the Greenhouse. It uses immersive 1-2 day workshops called Labs to help organizations solve business challenges in areas like innovation, strategy, transformation, and alignment.

The expert emphasizes the importance of developing empathy and understanding for clients through open dialogue and relationship building. Early meetings to exchange information about each other's businesses and personally get to know each other set the tone for a cooperative project. Understanding the client's purpose and priorities, including engaging with naysayers, allows problems to be resolved prior to launch and ensures the implementation focuses on what matters most to the client.
The expert emphasizes the importance of developing empathy and understanding for clients through open dialogue and relationship building. Early meetings to exchange information about each other's businesses and personally get to know each other set the tone for a cooperative project. Understanding the client's purpose and priorities helps apply one's own work appropriately. The expert focuses on engaging with naysayers rather than just advocates, as skeptics may best understand problems, and their views could shift through genuine listening and mutual understanding.
The document discusses the role of facilitators in team leadership. It argues that facilitation is needed because groups are complex with varying individual backgrounds and relationships that interfere with communication and goal sharing. A facilitator focuses on the group process rather than tasks, addressing problems teams often encounter like lack of participation, communication issues, and conflict. Key elements of effective facilitation include communication, teamwork, and visualization techniques. The challenges of facilitation involve dealing with different personalities, ensuring efficient communication, creating a shared vision, motivating people, handling conflicts, maintaining focus and balance, and building commitment.
