Workplace learning loses unless we engage learners
In today’s workplace, we support our employees to be engaged and active learners. In a constantly changing business environment, constant learning makes our careers and our businesses future-proof. The reality however is different from the dream: in today’s workplace we are busy being busy, and learning loses out - often unintentionally. In this session for anyone involved in corporate learning, we will together: - assess the reality of today’s workplace learning: - explore the bad habits and biases that stand in the way of learning more: - get inspiration to set up experiments to engage our learners for action. (From oeb.global conference, Nov 2019)

ProductTank #20 Kraków- Customer development, how to validate your product idea
This document provides an overview of customer development and how to validate a product idea through early customer interviews. It discusses finding potential customers, how to approach them, preparing for and conducting interviews, and following up after interviews. The key aspects covered include developing an interview scenario and questions, asking open-ended questions to understand customer needs and problems rather than confirming your own assumptions, and getting honest feedback to decrease risk and prioritize features for the right customer segment. The overall goal is to validate customer and problem hypotheses through qualitative research and find early customers interested in solving their problem.
Building innovative products
The document discusses key aspects of building an innovative product. It outlines that innovation requires (1) focusing on problems you care about, (2) generating many ideas through close user understanding and experimentation, (3) rapidly validating ideas with analytics and user testing, (4) enabling fast and cheap experimentation through tools like DevOps, and (5) empowering a small team of people who are passionate about solving the problem. Digital solutions can now be built and distributed at low cost by small teams to reach global users, making innovation a powerful approach.
Building innovative products
The document discusses key aspects of building an innovative product. It outlines 5 areas to focus on: 1) identifying a problem you care about solving, 2) generating quality ideas through close user understanding, experimentation, and open source leverage, 3) validating ideas through analytics and user testing, 4) enabling rapid and cheap experimentation through infrastructure, and 5) empowering people who are passionate about solving the problem through autonomy and small, self-sufficient teams. Innovation requires an iterative process of misses informing progress toward a solution, not measuring each step as a success or failure.
How to know what your customers really want?
This document discusses how to identify customers' "jobs-to-be-done" to better understand what they want from a product. It recommends conducting interviews focused on the situations where customers need help, their struggles with current solutions, and what's important to them. Analyzing these interviews can reveal the jobs, emotions, and criteria driving customer purchases to inform product strategy and messaging.

introduction to design thinking
Understanding & solving a problem:: termed as Designing
• Problem understanding: process or activities for identifying undesirable situations and desirable situations.
• Problem solving: Developing a plan with the intent of changing undesirable situations to desirable situations
• Designing involves both problem understanding and problem solving
Agile is a method to solve predefined problems, while design thinking focuses on finding the right problems to solve.
While Agile is an approach to problem solving, design thinking is an approach to problem finding.
Together these two methods can transform your organization, and ensure every project delivers value to the business, your customers, and your own bottom-line.
Within the context of new product development(NPD), design thinking is very well suited to used in markets that are quickly changing and when user needs are uncertain.
When facing a complex challenge
When facing a human centered challenge
Prioritize features: Product managers work closely with engineers to estimate features, define requirements, and collaborate on a release plan based on the team’s capacity.
Release customer experiences: Regardless of the frequency, product managers are responsible for delivering a Complete Product Experience to customers. This involves working closely with engineering, IT, marketing, sales, and support to ensure organizational readiness.
Measure product success: Measures of success include customer engagement (such as time in product and returning users), conversion rates, and the frequency of feature updates.

Lean Startup Roadmap
Lean Startup Roadmap workshop I conduct in Russian. Combines the methodology from Steve Blank, Eric Ries, Ash Maurya, and others. The intention is to provide practical steps individuals new to business and entrepreneurship can take in order to increase the likelihood of success in their new venture.
The full workshop usually takes 6-8 hours.
Innovating in the social space
The document discusses strategies for promoting innovation in organizations. It provides several key points:
1) Innovation requires an organizational culture that supports risk-taking and learning from failures. Employees must feel empowered and motivated to innovate.
2) Design thinking is a useful framework but has limitations if not connected to business realities. True innovation addresses real user needs and creates win-win solutions through collaboration.
3) Executive leadership that explicitly prioritizes, funds, and models innovative behavior is important for overcoming barriers like a risk-averse culture. Networks can spread new ideas by connecting diverse groups.
the-idea-building-toolkit.pptx
This document provides resources and instructions to help applicants develop business ideas and pitches for solving "wicked problems" as part of an entrepreneurship scholarship competition. It outlines the competition rules, introduces design thinking techniques to generate and refine ideas, and provides templates and examples for creating a 3-slide, 3-minute pitch presentation. The goal is for applicants to understand the problem, brainstorm solutions, develop a business concept, and effectively present their idea.
Frameworks for Launching a Startup
Want to start a company? Have a product idea? Want to be a Founder or Entrepreneur? Here are the 3 things you need to do to launch a startup. I also provide tips, trick and thoughts on startup pitfalls and ways to succeed.
Monika.pptx
Design thinking is a process that includes empathizing with customers to understand their problems, defining the specific problem to solve, ideating potential solutions, prototyping ideas, and testing prototypes with customer feedback. It emphasizes connecting with customers, understanding both stated and unstated needs, and iterating on ideas through a process of trial and error. The document discusses an Indian social entrepreneur named Arunachalam Muruganantham who invented a low-cost machine for manufacturing sanitary pads, helping address women's health and hygiene issues in rural India. He worked to understand needs, develop prototypes, and install machines in many states to produce affordable pads.
Have more breakthrough ideas
The document provides tips for organizations to promote idea generation and implementation among employees. It suggests that frontline staff, not management, are often the source of novel ideas. It advocates focusing on small, easy-to-implement ideas rather than large ones. Key recommendations include not rewarding individual ideas financially and measuring idea quantity/quality rather than results. Managers should promote idea sharing and hold regular idea meetings. The benefits of ideas are difficult to quantify fully, so cost-benefit analysis should be avoided. Instead, organizations should focus on being process-oriented and solving specific problems. Fostering conditions for creativity like self-initiation, unofficial activity, serendipity, diverse stimuli and communication can also increase idea generation.
Value Proposition Design
A simple 1 hour Design-Thinking workshop focused on understanding Value Proposition Design. A great exercise to do BEFORE jumping into the Value Proposition Canvas.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdf
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:

Removing Uninteresting Bytes in Software Fuzzing
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.
- These are slides of the talk given at IEEE International Conference on Software Testing Verification and Validation Workshop, ICSTW 2022.

Pitch an Idea
- 1. Pitch your idea in < 2 min -Vidya Raman I turn ideas into products
- 2. You need 3 things 1. Your idea - problem, solution, target customer 2. Why is it unique/superior compared to alternatives 3. How will you make money or have a societal impact
- 3. 1.Your idea: remember the 3 parts 1. Problem:What is the problem you are trying to solve? 2. Target customer:Who has this problem? Try to be really narrowly focused. 3. Solution: How will you solve the problem.A very high level idea is fine.
- 4. 2.Why is your idea unique or superior (also called unique value proposition)? • People will use your product/service only if it is in someway superior to the alternatives they have today • Superior can mean cheaper or simpler (fewer functions) or faster or require fewer steps or easier or more convenient or is closer by or tastier or healthier... • Draw attention to what makes it superior/unique to existing alternatives. • Don’t worry if there are many alternatives.That is probably a good thing because it must be a problem lots of people have but no one has solved it really well!
- 5. 3. How will you make money or have a societal impact (also called business model)? For-profit business ideas: • What price can you charge? • Will you keep charging once or every time someone uses it? • Will you charge monthly or yearly subscription? Non-profit business ideas: • What impact will it have on your target customer?
- 6. Bonus points for this... • What will it cost for you to make your idea happen? Consider, • resources you need • people you might need to employ (e.g. to run a store) • how much time do you need
- 7. What you need for the pitch • Present your idea, unique value proposition and business model in less than 2 minutes. If you don’t have all 3 aspects, that’s fine. Just present the idea. • No power point or slides required. Use it only if you need it. • If you have a prototype built, bring it (tell us in advance).
- 8. This will be fun and you will learn a ton. Pitch!
- 10. I don’t know where to look for alternatives Assuming you started with a problem, • Look at how people are dealing with the problem today (i.e., what are they using today) • If you are not sure, ask your target customers. Better yet, observe them when they are facing the problem that you are trying to solve • Google for some answers. Pretty much every product/service has a website where you can find more information about them
