How to Make Products People Want: The Outcome-Driven Approach To InnovationJean-Francois Hector
Most digital innovations fail because teams lose sight of what customers really want to achieve.
Outcome-Driven Innovation is a powerful way of thinking that puts your customers’ needs at the centre of every conversation.
This simple method will give you the clarity you need to focus on the right opportunities and make better design decisions.

User research often catalogs findings and implications, but stops short of generating specific design improvements. Designers increasingly involved with contextual research may find themselves holding onto a trove of raw data but with little awareness of how to turn it into design. Steve Portigal introduces a framework for synthesizing raw data into a fresh, contextual understanding of a customer's unmet needs.

Branch<>Prolific Webinar: Building an Effective Mobile Growth StackBranch
With almost every 2 out of 3 digital media minutes spent on mobile*, it has become more pressing than ever for brands to devise an effective digital strategy to capture the mobile opportunity. However, navigating the sea of tools and services available is daunting, often times requiring cross-department collaboration and a painful process of trial-and-error to build the right mobile growth stack for your business.
We believe in the agile approach in tackling this challenge.
Prolific's Director of Strategy and Growth Al Harnisch and Branch's Chief Revenue Officer Eric Stein shares an in-depth discussion on the following topics:
-Key components of a typical Mobile Growth Stack for enterprises
-Examples of a great starting point vs a mature mobile growth stack
-The cross-channel/platform nature of the modern mobile consumer
-Best practices for mapping out your channel strategies to drive growth and engagement
-Case study of a major US retailer and their mobile growth stack
These are promising times for entrepreneurs in emerging markets. As our tracker demonstrates, launching new mobile products and services has never been faster or cheaper, and the pool of digitally savvy, connected consumers grows daily. Mobile device penetration in emerging markets continues to rise, thanks to falling handset prices and the increased utility of mobile platforms. Application development is expanding and accelerating. From Dhaka to Dakar, coders with a fast Internet connection and good ideas are responding to market pain points and driving innovation with new mobile apps.

Introduction
Uber is primarily a service that offers similar products that are synonymous with those provided by taxis, but its products are differentiated by the integration of modern technology in which there is the use of the mobile app to link both the customers and the drivers. The Uber application is compatible Android, I phones and windows phone which helps it in running its operations excellently and smoothly. It uses cashless technology when it comes to handling issues related to service payments. In the current market set up, it is clear that Uber offers low-cost services as compared to its rivals in the market and also it has the best-experienced drivers who help it to run the business. The rise of internet and outsourcing services has motivated companies willing to come up with creative ways to serve customers in more efficient ways of improving the business strategies of the firm. Stone, B. (2017). The upstarts:
Propose a new product or service for the new company division. The division should be customer-focused with an innovative mission statement. Ensure you are differentiating your product or service.
In this paper, we are going to introduce a new product which is an app that deals with parcels delivery. The Uber Company has only two apps that help it to carry its day to day operations which are the app for drivers and the app for passengers. For this assignment, I would like to introduce a new product which is an app for delivery of parcels. Uber app is a product that would see it encounter stiff competition from rival to become the best taxi and parcel delivery company in the market. It would be in line with its innovative mission to expand its primary operations to cater for all sections of the public transport and parcel delivery which is still an essential market gap that can be explored. The parcel apps would see the company grow into the higher level with enhanced local and international parcel delivery at a tap of a phone button. The service charge for the parcels would be cashless as it would take into account online payment methods just as those opting for the other two apps operated by the company. (Mowery, N., Poling, S. R., & Reavis, P. (1994). Customer focused quality)
Describe how the division addresses customer needs and achieves competitive advantage.
This app is essential in the addressing customer needs regarding fast parcel delivery both locally and international. There have been a lot of issues that have been related to parcel such as their high cost of parcel delivery both locally and globally, others refer to losing essential products in the process of trying to send documents and other relevant products to friends, workmates and family members throughout. By introducing such an app, it would help to curb and downplay this disadvantage and improve more customer delivery service. An integrated parcel management would off ...

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software FuzzingAftab Hussain
Imagine a world where software fuzzing, the process of mutating bytes in test seeds to uncover hidden and erroneous program behaviors, becomes faster and more effective. A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.
I, a former op, would like to extend an invitation to all application developers to join the observability party will share these foundational concepts to build on:

number of people use most of the time,
• Desktops and laptops as devices for more intensive work, programming,
large documents, spreadsheets, and institutional work

3. App Economy
› Forecasts of the app economy (combined value of paid apps, app-enabled
purchases, in-app advertising
AppNation
:
US$150 billion by 2017
Developer Economics : US$143 billion by 2016
28% cumulative average growth per annum globally
This is likely to be an under-estimate since app advertising and the
enterprise app economy are just taking off.
App Economy matters! Significant employment creation potential
Basser Seminar July 2013
4. EU Barriers to growing the App Economy
› Lack of vibrancy of the App innovation and commercialisation
ecosystem,
› Impediments to encouraging new players to enter and existing
players to stabilise and grow,
› Inter-related problems of
- Poor mentoring networks
- Patchy venture capital availability
- Inadequate marketing and business development
support
- Market fragmentation, among others.
Basser Seminar July 2013
5. Proposed Solution
› Areas of opportunity to best assist app developers and startups to scale, enhancing the level of marketing and business
development skills:
Help foster the institutional infrastructure needed to support the
growth and richness of the innovation ecosystem through:
A publicly funded training program for app developers and
entrepreneurs to be offered in three or four key cities
Funding the establishment of three app innovation and
development hubs in selected EU cities
Basser Seminar July 2013
6. Use of financial inducements, competitions and
incubator schemes
› The regional development hubs will be more than traditional
business incubators; they will need to evolve into a physical
and virtual gathering places for app developers and
entrepreneurs and investors, venture capitalists, legal and
business development people, and researchers, creative
people, dreamers, and app consumers,
› Highly targeted business plan competitions for relatively
mature app business plans in each regions, coordinated by
the development hub – focus on substantive business
models!
Basser Seminar July 2013
7. Use of financial inducements, competitions and
incubator schemes
›Focus on app-related research and researchbased design programs. Need for new
conceptualisations of the open mobile web as
very large collection of mobile surfaces!
The proposals need to be seen as integrated,
synergistic, and mutually reinforcing with
possible super-modular outcomes that can
trigger a virtuous cycle of app-related
innovation and successful commercialisation.
