Due to an expansion of the number of innovation tests Bromford wish to conduct - we need an additional Lab Designer. If it sounds like you please apply at www.bromford.co.uk/jobs
This talk will explore three key components to creating great products: understanding customer needs, rapidly prototyping and testing ideas, and true cross-team collaboration.
- How to discover customer needs through observation
- Rapidly test and iterate on new ideas without wasting development cycles
- Fostering cross-team collaboration that leads to customer empathy and a unified vision
How do you validate that your startup is solving a real problem for real customers? How to build a tight, cross-functional, disciplined team to develop and ship your MVP as quickly as possible? How do you deal with competitors, and turn competition into an advantage. This version was delivered at Product School on September 15, 2016.
Lets compare the design process in different industries and companies. Who leads the design? Who infludences the design? How does the product get shaped? How to get buy in? How to ensure we design the right product.
New on the Job: Your First 90 Days in a Design Leadership RoleAndrea Mignolo
Congratulations on your new role! It’s an exciting time to be a designer - not only is design everywhere, it also has a seat at the table. Wherever you are in your career, transitioning to a new role is exciting, challenging, and scary. It’s also a critical time to lay the foundation for your future success. This is especially true for design leaders, who face not only the challenge of organisational change, but of establishing design as a strategic partner at every level. This talk will provide design leaders with actionable ideas and best practices for the first 90 days in a design leadership role.

Main Takeaways:
- Learn why it’s important to take a step back from problem-solving to reenter on problem finding - and the magic that will happen when you do
- Walk through a process I use to determine which problems stick and how to distill them
This 3 Day Design Sprint was delivered to teenagers between the ages of 13 -18 to teach them how to quickly test ideas without writing a line of code. It has been adapted from Tom Lombardo's course from Fresh Tiled Soil.

Collaborative Experience design workshop
Facilitated by

and
Shaun Chen
User Experience Designer
Hewlett Packard, Singapore
This talk is about understanding the team dynamics at play on a Design Sprint. It briefly explains what is a Sprint, when to do one and who should be in it, as well as its structure. Then, it explains what makes it so successful, by understanding the mechanics that make it work.
I gave this talk at a local meetup, called Braga.Product. I hope to have the video of this talk available soon.
A quick talk on things we love: in this case, knitting while on phone calls (to "hack" the urge to multitask in a way that supports better focus), but most of the talk is on a new form of massively multi-designer brainstorming we're calling a "design swarm".
It used to take companies weeks to brainstorm, write specs, publish RFPs, and get started on projects. With a design sprint, it’s possible to accomplish all that—plus sketching, prototyping, and validating big ideas—in just 5 days.
Sound too good to be true? We partnered with InVision to help teams learn how exactly to run their own design sprint. Follow these tips and by the end of your sprint, you’ll have live, targeted customer validation so you know exactly what to prioritize in your product roadmap.
An Adaptive Cluster Head Election Algorithm for Heterogeneous Mobile Ad-hoc N...IJLT EMAS
Mobile ad-hoc network characterized as a homogenous and heterogeneous on the basis of node capabilities. Heterogeneity property may make issues for mobile ad-hoc network in context of coverage area, link stability, lifetime etc. To resolve these issues, require a mechanism to adapt different characteristics and make decision for smooth functioning. Heterogeneity also leads effective routing problem that occurs instability in route or path. Though to make effective routing in this situation, efficient clustering algorithm may be apply. In this paper, the effects of heterogeneity property are studied and analyzed. A cluster head algorithm is also suggested to deal with the effects of the property. Suggested algorithm is simulated in network simulation and performance is evaluated in context of computation cost, lifetime and number of clusters.

The main objective of this talk is to highlight the key Quality contamination and challenges that impact the Agile Scrum Teams and the remedies. It also mentions how scrum teams struggles for Quality assurance while implementing scrum and how defining Quality strategies helps.
Quality contamination:
• No QA strategy/Plan or checklist or milestones defined for Project
• No Gates/Checkpoints defined
• No Metrics defined, measured and tracked.
• No Defect guidelines for Defect severity/priority clearly defined.
• No Defect RCA and Quality Improvement Plan (QIP) prepared.
• Not able to fit QA in same sprint as Development
• Don’t think before Test- No upfront test planning or defining/understanding of Test cases/scenarios
• QA part of Development Team- QA efforts not estimated, QA resource considered separate hanging entity in scrum team only responsible for QA
• No Technical Debt assessment and Reduction Plan

A dive into DESIGN THINKING – Making products and services that people wantAndy McBride
Terms such as ‘design’, ‘design thinking’, ‘agile’ and ‘MVP’ are now casually talked about in many organisations. Beyond the buzzword bingo, there are real methodologies and approaches that can help all teams deliver great solutions. Like many organisations, QUT needs to respond quickly to the increasingly complex challenges of our internal audience with innovative solutions that are also feasible and viable. Over the past year QUT has taken a design thinking approach to developing its new service experience – HiQ. HiQ brings together service and communication teams, and integrates information, technology and physical spaces. The result is a personalised and consistent experience of QUT across our diverse internal audiences, that aims to engage with them wherever they are.

Defining Problems - How might we do that?Bromford Lab
It is important for organisations to really understand a problem before thinking about any potential solution. Problem statements are questions which help designers to focus on the real issues at hand, and help stop organisations from jumping to the wrong solution.
At Bromford Lab we believe in sharing the learning from our experiments. This is an overview of a pilot to encourage customers to complete basic repairs themselves
How can you innovate in large organisations? How can you handle the fuzzy front end of innovation without resorting to (grit teeth) project management? That's all in our latest slide deck. All illustrations from Thomas Hartland.
This is the full deck containing the outcomes of the five main lab sessions we hosted at House Party 15.
We hosted four other sessions: Game Tech and Match, Connected Care, Crowdfunded housing and How to set up an innovation lab. They will follow in the future.
Watch out for the blog post where you can nominate yourself to be a part of a test!
Future comms - the last will and testament of #ukhousingBromford Lab
This is the fifth and last of the main sessions we hosted at House Party 15.
We are publishing a slideshare for each of the main sessions.
Once completed we'll be asking for participants to explore or test the models.
This session focused on: If we started communicating again - what would be the new rules?
