This document discusses what makes a good idea and how to get ideas noticed. It provides examples of good ideas like online field trips and charity campaigns. It outlines criteria for evaluating ideas such as being true to your brand and achievable. It emphasizes the importance of involving your audience for feedback and making ideas feel real through prototypes. Finally, it recommends pitching ideas simply through emotion and starting the conversation before the formal pitch.
Change Agency and Dealing with Failure
This document discusses how to reduce failure when implementing change through an agency perspective. It begins by explaining that change programs often fail due to resistance from informal networks in organizations, not flaws in implementation plans. It then discusses the differences between resistance and reactance, noting that reactance is an instinctual reaction against being told what to do. The document provides eight strategies for avoiding or overcoming reactance, such as building cooperation from the start and understanding different perspectives. Overall, the document advocates considering social and psychological factors to successfully implement change rather than just focusing on structural or compliance aspects of change programs.
Smart / Responsive Mobile Design
The document discusses best practices for mobile design. It recommends defining the vision for who the design is targeting and what needs it will meet. Thoroughly research the target audience by understanding their devices, contexts of use, and actual wants. Iteratively test design prototypes, refine based on feedback, and retest until meeting user needs. Key design considerations include accommodating distraction, avoiding excess features, leveraging interface hotspots, and accounting for imprecise touchscreen interaction. Responsive design using flexible grids and media is advocated to create a single codebase that adapts content for different devices.

Values Sensitive Design
Delivered for WiLSWorld 2018 on July 24th in Madison, WI by Kristin R. Eschenfelder, Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor and Director of the Information School, UW-Madison
Many of us have, until recently, viewed the internet (and often technology) as agnostic. We type in our search and receive our answers. But the design of information technology systems requires many individual design decisions, each of which is shaped by assumptions and biases. Further, we may find some of the end results of the systems design disturbing or morally problematic. For example, recent cultural concerns about overuse of or addiction to smart phones also raises question about whether we should limit how attractive and fun a design should be to protect users. News about privacy issues at Facebook raise questions about how Facebook could or should change its design to protect user data. Professor Kristin Eschenfelder from UW-Madison’s iSchool and Digital User Experience Design program will provide an overview of the principles of “Value Sensitive Design” and a review of exciting cutting edge work in the area. Using a value sensitive design approach, Eschenfelder will prepare audience members to consider the design decisions they make as professionals (in designing websites, library catalogs, digital collections, online forms etc.), how those decisions reflects their (or their institution’s) values, and who those design decisions privilege and disadvantage.

Making Ideas Happen
Making ideas happen ; overcoming the obstacles between vision & reality, by Scott Belsky.
Ideas for new businesses, solutions to world’s problems, and artistic breakthrough’s are common, but great execution is rare.
Let's find out how to execute like a pro.
Personal Productivity & Knowledge Work: Hard Truths and "Hot Tips"
A talk I gave on personal productivity and knowledge work. The talk begins with an overview of what knowledge work is and the barriers we face in getting to the work that is really important to us. This is followed by a very brief overview of David Allen's Getting Things Done methodology and what I've learned from Merlin Mann's many online platforms, including 43folders.com, his great talks available on Youtube, and the Back to Work podcast on the 5by5 network. It ends with some practical "hot tips" that people can easily implement in their work environment today.
The "hot tips" part is in quotes because getting to stress-free productivity is REALLY hard to do.
10 Tips For Making Ideas Happen
Scott Belsky shares 10 tips for turning ideas into reality, including communicating priorities to ensure everyone is on the same page, setting aside time to focus on important initiatives, making meetings action-oriented by assigning specific tasks, finding what works and improving upon it, sharing ideas to gain support and accountability, seeking out competition to push ideas forward, fighting for the most important elements of ideas while compromising on others, empowering teams by letting them voice ideas first, breaking bureaucracy by asking actionable questions, and having confidence despite doubts about an idea.
H+E Impact discussion 2013
The document discusses how to measure and achieve lasting impact. It emphasizes the importance of clearly defining goals and missions, and measuring outcomes that truly reflect the welfare of the system being impacted. It also notes that accurately measuring impact requires understanding what change was created by an intervention and what would likely have occurred without it. The document presents frameworks for assessing whether solutions address needs, are effective, can reach intended users, and will be used properly to create impact.
Design Thinking by Mark Uraine
1) Design Thinking is a process that focuses on empathy, understanding problems from the user's perspective, and coming up with creative solutions through prototyping and testing.
2) The process involves 5 steps - empathizing with users, defining the problem, brainstorming ideas, building prototypes, and testing ideas with users.
3) An important part of defining the problem is using the "Five Whys" technique to uncover the root causes, as superficial problems are often symptoms of deeper issues.
What If?
This document discusses the concept of "back of the napkin" thinking, which encourages thinking creatively and coming up with new ideas and concepts quickly without overplanning. It contains images and quotes promoting questions like "what if?" and challenging waiting for detailed maps or plans before taking action. The document advocates for big, ambitious ideas and visions that can be realized over various timescales and reach wide audiences through different devices and platforms.
Techniques for Effective Retrospectives
The document summarizes a presentation given by Prowareness on effective techniques for conducting retrospectives during Scrum meetings. It provides 15 different techniques for gathering feedback, including using happiness metrics, drawing representations like sailboats to identify impediments, considering past and future perspectives, and using playing cards to discuss intrinsic motivators. Each technique includes a brief explanation and link to additional resources.
Practical Creativity
This document provides advice and insights from various sources on how to build creativity as a habit. It discusses reframing how we think about creativity, establishing rituals and habits to support creativity like taking walks, keeping notebooks, and meditating. It also addresses dealing with failure and getting unstuck creatively, suggesting strategies like powering through or strategically procrastinating to overcome creative blocks. The overall message is that creativity can be cultivated by incorporating various practices into one's routine.
Reimaging the way people work together
Description:
Responsive. Lean. Teal. Holacracy. Sociocracy. All of these terms can be used to describe a movement that is currently underway, which seeks to fundamentally transform the way people work together. In much the same way that Agile updated our approach to software development, we now look to update the operating system of the entire organization. In this conversation, we will discuss trends in organizational design and share practical, “safe to try” techniques you can take back and apply to any part of your organization.
Speaker Bio:
Chelsea is a people operations leader and organizational designer. She is fascinated by reimagining the way people work together and designing organizations for the 21st century. As a Master’s candidate at Northwestern University, Chelsea researches next-stage organizational structures with a particular interest in self-management. She has spent her career working in technology, both enterprise and startup, with a personal passion for fixing the broken and the outdated. In her free time, you can find Chelsea hiking, biking or baking bread.
Influence and Impact: Getting Your Innovative Ideas Noticed
The document summarizes a presentation given by Sue Bethanis, CEO of Mariposa Leadership, Inc., to the NorCal BMA on getting innovative ideas noticed through influence and impact. The presentation discusses using a design thinking process to get ideas approved, and developing individual influencing skills like networking, getting attention, and understanding decision-making. It promotes cultivating relationships, building business cases for needs, being open to feedback, understanding real decision-makers, and using principles like reciprocity and consistency to influence others. The goal is to provide tools and strategies for influencing stakeholders and getting ideas successfully implemented.
We Don't Watch the Internet, We Live in It
We live in a multi-screen world and spend much of our time with our various devices. How do we use our devices, and how do we design for different goals and behaviors?
ProductCamp Toronto 2012 Legacy of Blame
Because of past failures or mistakes, we have developed dysfunctional behaviors that impact teaming – e.g. development won’t be innovative because they were blamed for a product not meeting its delivery date; Product Management was blamed because a product didn’t meet the quality goals, so they start becoming QA; Revenue goals aren’t met and PM’s are blamed – PM’s go on the road to sell.
John Milburn (Pragmatic Marketing) shares a few representative examples of a problem that he calls “The Legacy of Blame”, how to be aware of them, and some coping techniques to deal with it.
Designing The Customer Experience - Conference 2009 (E5)
This document discusses tools for understanding the customer experience. It introduces experience mapping and personas. Experience mapping involves writing down the customer journey and dimensions of their experience. Personas involve creating profiles of individual customer types rather than averages to better understand real people and issues. The document provides an example of a persona profile for a household with disabilities and barriers to park access. It advocates using these tools to get past stereotypes and better engage with customers.
Brainstorming Pointers
This document provides tools and resources for brainstorming and generating new ideas. It outlines several brainstorming techniques including affinity analysis, element modification, and random word provocation. Affinity analysis involves clustering ideas on post-it notes into groups. Element modification varies one element of an idea at a time to explore outcomes. Random word provocation uses an unrelated concept to view a problem from a new perspective. Additional resources are provided on nurturing ideas, determining if an idea fits, and where innovative ideas originate. The objective is to connect, rearrange, and transform knowledge to spark new and useful ideas.
Ou Lib Big Ideas
This document proposes establishing a culture of innovation and a process for proposing innovative ideas within a library. It outlines several steps to cultivate an innovative culture, including having leadership announce a new initiative to foster creativity and help ideas become reality. It then describes a proposed process where staff can submit idea proposals through a simple online form, which would be reviewed by a committee in a timely manner. The goal is to recognize innovative staff, track proposed ideas, and continuously improve the process over time to drive positive changes within the library.
3 beliefs you need to let go to start you agile journey – Agile EE 2017
The document discusses 3 beliefs that can hold organizations back from embracing agile practices:
1) Believing in batch processing and maximizing resource efficiency. This overlooks the value of adaptability and early feedback.
2) Thinking people should be fully utilized on planned work and using specialists only for their specific tasks. This reduces flexibility and information sharing.
3) Thinking new processes can simply be rolled out through changes in structure. True change requires understanding and commitment from people.
It argues these beliefs are hard to change because they are unconscious assumptions connected to other beliefs. The document proposes experiences, reflection, and real-world application can help replace beliefs by forming new connections in people's cognition, as was done with games
Building Creative, Collaborative Cultures
Organizations can struggle to make use of its employee's talent and creativity. The culture of an organization acts as a lens through which we can examine whether an organization is set up support or hinder innovation, creativity, and collaboration.
Designing Remotely
The document provides guidance for designing remotely for a virtual campus design challenge. It advises starting with a specific problem and user need rather than a grand challenge, like helping Nadia understand fractions. Researchers should explore existing solutions and insights. Designs should be created and organized collaboratively using Google Docs and slides. Prototypes like websites or social apps should be built and tested with users. The submission should be a video explaining the identified problem, insight, prototype, and its value to motivate judges. The overall process involves researching insights, designing solutions, prototyping, testing, and refining based on user feedback.
16 from 16: THE BEST BOOKS OF 2016 SUMMARISED
The document discusses several books related to leadership, productivity, negotiation, culture and ideas. It provides short summaries of key points from books such as "The 5 Dysfunctions of a Team" by Patrick Lencioni, "Scrum" by Jeff Sutherland, and "Superforecasting" by Tetlock and Gardner. The summaries highlight effective team dynamics, agile project management techniques, and strategies for improving forecasting accuracy through an analytical approach.
Data visualization using video 11 20-13
This document introduces Jeff Weakley and discusses his background in filmmaking, coding, and data visualization. He has launched several companies and has over 25 years of experience in advertising and creative directing. His mission is to use video to bring emotion and storytelling to data visualization. He believes video is a powerful tool for both exploring data and communicating insights to others in an engaging way.
Meaning of Life
The document discusses concepts from Greek, Latin, and a quote from Hamlet. It then lists characteristics of a pluralistic, non-voluntaristic, and non-Platonic view of telos or purpose. Next, it provides three criteria for a life to have enough meaning: engaging in activities for their own sake, contributing to something outside oneself, and having intentional structure. It concludes by posing the question "What kinds of lives are meaningful?".
Mind Brain and Thoughts
This document discusses the relationship between the mind and brain. It begins by questioning what thoughts are and notes that while we think continually, we don't fully understand thoughts. It then discusses how we can intervene in the world, body, and mind, with the mind being the domain we have the most influence over. The document goes on to provide information about brain basics like neuron structure and brain connectivity. It discusses how the mind and brain are interrelated systems and how both the brain and mind can influence each other through processes like neuroplasticity. The key points made are that as the brain changes, the mind changes; as the mind changes, the brain changes; and we can use our mind to intentionally change our brain for the better

Why the "hard" problem of consciousness is easy and the "easy" problem hard....
The "hard" problem of concsiousness can be shown to be a non-problem because it is formulated using a seriously defective concept (the concept of "phenomenal consciousness" defined so as to rule out cognitive functionality and causal powers).
So the hard problem is an example of a well known type of philosophical problem that needs to be dissolved (fairly easily) rather than solved. For other examples, and a brief introduction to conceptual analysis, see http://www.cs.bham.ac.uk/research/projects/cogaff/misc/varieties-of-atheism.html
In contrast, the so-called "easy" problem requires detailed analysis of very complex and subtle features of perceptual processes, introspective processes and other mental processes, sometimes labelled "access consciousness": these have cognitive functions, but their complexity (especially the way details change as the environment changes or the perceiver moves) is considerable and very hard to characterise.
"Access consciousness" is complex also because it takes many different forms, since what individuals are conscious of and what uses being conscious of things can be put to, can vary hugely, from simple life forms, through many other animals and human infants, to sophisticated adult humans,
Finding ways of modelling these aspects of consciousness, and explaining how they arise out of physical mechanisms, requires major advances in the science of information processing systems -- including computer science and neuroscience.
There are empirical facts about introspection that have generated theories of consciousness but some of the empirical facts go unnoticed by philosophers.
The notion of a virtual machine is introduced briefly and illustrated using Conway's "Game of life" and other examples of virtual machinery that explain how contents of consciousness can have causal powers and can have intentionality (be able to refer to other things).
The beginnings of a research program are presented, showing how more examples can be collected and how notions of virtual machinery may need to be developed to cope with all the phenomena.
Rosenthal m qs-wo-cn
Argues that the qualitative character distinctive of conscious perceiving also occurs without being conscious, so that being conscious is not essential to such qualitative character.
Creativity is a why not a what
The document discusses the origins and nature of human creativity. It argues that creativity stems from evolutionary advantages conferred by play and rule-breaking behavior during childhood. Creativity also arises from the nonlinear and unpredictable nature of living beings. The document contrasts the instincts for imitation and innovation in nature and society, noting that innovation is typically met with resistance initially. It suggests that periods of great instability and change tend to correspond with peaks in human creativity.
Neuroplasticity
The document discusses the difference between the brain and mind. The brain coordinates movements, thoughts and feelings, while the mind refers to a person's understanding and thought processes.
It also discusses the concept of negativity bias, where the brain is wired to pay more attention to negative experiences due to the fight or flight response activating more intensely for negative events. Therapies aim to make the brain more responsive to positive experiences.
Additionally, it discusses neuroplasticity, the brain's ability to change its structure and function through experiences and directed thoughts, indicating the adult brain can grow new neurons well into adulthood.
Living and Learning with the Brain in Mind
SAPTAMANA ALTFEL 2016 IN PARTENETIAT CU SCOALA GIMNAZIALA 150, BUCURESTI
Proiectul "From Brain Walking to Brain Jogging" (De la rezultate satisfacatoare, la performanta scolara) – eveniment organizat in cadrul programului ”Să știi mai multe, să fii mai bun!”, desfasurat in perioada 18 – 22 aprilie 2016 – cuprinde activitati educationale de informare si invatare a unor tehnici de studiu bazate pe modelul de functionare a creierului (brain-based learning techniques) ca o completare a metodelor traditionale.
Activitatile imbina exercitii de observare, reflectie, luare a deciziilor si rezolvare creativa a problemelor prin jocuri lingvistice si teste/ quiz-uri. Se urmareste dezvoltarea inteligentei emotionale si a constientizarii proceselor de invatare pentru a atinge urmatoarele obiective: gandire critica, comunicare, colaborare si creativitate. In cadrul acestor activitati vom cauta raspunsuri la cateva intrebari:
- Sunt resursele web indispensabile in procesul invatarii? Este posibila optimizarea abilitatilor cognitive cu ajutorul jocurilor video? Tehnologia – prieten sau dusman?
- Sunt copiii generatiei digitale mai destepti decat generatiile anterioare? Desi invata mai repede, cum se explica rezultatele slabe ale unora si esecul total al altora?
- Exista stiluri de invatare bazate pe tipul de inteligenta care ii caracterizeaza pe copii?
- Abilitati cognitive – tehnici de optimizare a memoriei, atentiei si a functiei executive a creierului.
Concluzii:
Creierul are o capacitate uriasa de a se adapta, schimba si a se optimiza, deci orice elev are sansa de a recupera si de a face performanta.
Fiecare dintre noi suntem responsabili pentru modul si tipul de performanta pentru care „ne antrenam” creierul.
Functia executiva a creierului – cheia eliminarii stresului in procesul de invatare si a eficientizarii acestuia.

Speech production
This document discusses the process of speech production from conceptualization to articulation. It summarizes some key models and findings from psycholinguistic research. The production process begins with conceptualization of a message in the mind. Levelt's model describes how concepts are formulated into linguistic units and encoded for motor production. Speech errors provide insights into the formulation process. Articulation involves coordinated movements of the vocal tract controlled by motor planning and cycles of production. Speakers self-monitor their speech through internal feedback loops and often self-correct mistakes. Research on sign language also informs understanding of the independence of cognitive and physical aspects of language production.
Get Sh!t Done
Presentation by Hiten Shah at HustleCon 2014. The talk is three things that both non-technical and technical founders can work on constantly when they aren't working on "making" things.
William paper presentation
The document provides guidance on developing test specifications and examination papers, including defining test content and mapping, using taxonomies to classify learning objectives, choosing appropriate assessment methods based on the cognitive, affective, and psychomotor domains being assessed, and ensuring congruency between learning outcomes and assessment techniques. It discusses Bloom's and Romiszowski's taxonomies and provides examples of verbs to use for different levels. The conclusion emphasizes the importance of aligning assessments with the intended learning outcomes.
Demonstration speech anayra
This demonstration speech outlines the steps to do a monkey donut hairstyle. It involves making a ponytail, threading the hair through a donut-shaped hair piece, distributing the hair around the donut and securing it with pins or bands. Additional details like braiding excess hair and spraying the style are provided. The speaker concludes by noting that this hairstyle takes 10 minutes and is suitable for events like prom.
Motivational communication
The importance of how to say what we say, learning to understand the subtle meaning our mind processes beyond the apparent ones. The positive sentence and the positive attitude (and body language) as a tool to say best and effectively what we need to communicate.
Asking the Right Questions: 5 Chemical Case Studies
In this 60-minute webinar, Experienced chemists Dan Olson and Nancy Whaley present details from 5 case studies with legal, end product use, and manufacturing process ramifications. Approaching the projects by exploring the chemistry of the products and processes provided the answers in these cases. Questions we explore will include:
- Material Verification, Identification, and Source
- Project Approach
- Potential Product or Component Degradation
- Deformulation
In addition, Olson and Whaley will briefly explain modern laboratory instruments and their capabilities. Participants will also learn about sample preparation techniques and integration of multiple types of analytical data.
Mathematics project
Triangles can be classified based on the number of congruent sides. There are three types of triangles: scalene (no congruent sides), isosceles (at least two congruent sides), and equilateral (three congruent sides). Heron's formula provides a way to calculate the area of any triangle using the lengths of its three sides. The formula is: Area = √(s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)), where s is the semi-perimeter (sum of sides divided by 2). The document also presents a researched formula for calculating the area of an equilateral triangle using only the length of one side.

Stephanie Cooper - Genuine Curiosity - Conversations for Change
People often ask for the golden phrase, the silver bullet they can use to convince their teams, managers or executives to ‘go Agile’. While it would certainly help to talk about outcomes and benefits over practices and methods, it can sometimes be your own mindset that is holding back your ability to influence change.
In this session, Steph looks at mindsets (the values and assumptions you make) and explore how a lack of genuine curiosity can provoke defensive behaviours in others and stop organisations from resolving the issues that really matter, but are challenging to address.
She’ll use the setting of a small conversation to explore and better understand these ideas. While organisational change is big, the momentum for change can often be won or lost in small conversations. Becoming better in small conversations will help you grow your role in influencing organisational change. When you approach conversations with genuine curiosity about the other person’s point of view, you will not only have a more productive conversation, but build the trust needed for the work ahead.
These ideas and techniques are popular as they are accessible and relatively easy to adopt.
New Library Director to Staff 2010
The document summarizes key points from a staff retreat at Scholes Library.
The library director outlined their vision to establish core values through staff consultation and apply them to guide decisions. Changes will be incremental and focus on needs of the college. Staff will be given more autonomy but also accountability. Innovation and failing is acceptable if it leads to improvements. Focus should be on services the library does best and responding to changing needs of patrons. Physical collections may become obsolete so the library's greatest asset is its people, not materials. The director wants to reward innovation and support professional development.

This document outlines a communications lab on giving and receiving feedback. The objectives are to learn effective strategies for giving feedback in a constructive way and receiving feedback well. The agenda includes sections on giving positive and constructive feedback using specific formulas and guidelines. It also covers receiving feedback by actively listening and asking questions. Participants will practice these skills through role plays and exercises. The document provides resources for additional feedback-related training opportunities.
Analytical Thinking And Innovation
This document discusses analytical thinking and innovation. It begins by explaining that analytical thinking helps people sort facts from perceptions and beliefs by breaking things down and examining their components. The document then covers various analytical thinking strategies like first principles analysis, questioning assumptions, and identifying root causes of problems. It also discusses how analytical thinking can help avoid biases. The document notes analytical thinking is important for research, teamwork, and communication. It concludes by linking analytical thinking to design thinking and innovation, noting how analysis can be applied throughout the innovative process.
