Some of the most effective ways of understanding what customers want or need – going out and talking to them – are surprisingly indirect. Insights produced by these methods impact two facets of innovation: first as information that informs the development of new products and services, and second as catalysts for internal change. Steve discusses methods for exploring both solutions and needs and explores how an understanding of culture (yours and your customers) can drive design and innovation.

AWIA is starting a conversation about how to design for the benefit of the web community. Find a voice for the industry that speaks to government and the general public. How can we best showcase the activities, skills and talents of web professionals?
Shake off some complacency and join us for a jam: co-create the future of our profession with design thinking."

Experiment Driven Design Workshop at Agile2018Skot Carruth
Life's too short for bad software. That’s what agile is for, right? Well. Running an agile delivery process does not guarantee success. Agile values and principles are simple enough to understand, yet we all struggle to take the theory into practice.
I think agile has lost its way. The 12 signatories published the agile manifesto in 2001, their highest priority was to satisfy the customer. It doesn’t say anything about velocity. It doesn’t say anything about shipping a lot of features. The only measure of success is the delivery of _valuable_ software.
Many people talk about Outcomes over Outputs. But underlying that is the issue of Delivery vs Discovery. How might we better incorporate continuous discovery into our agile delivery workflows? That's where Experiment Driven Design shines.

User Experience Sketching for Lean and Agile TeamsDonna Lichaw
Learn how to turn complex concepts into simple visual forms that can help you evaluate ideas, products, and features quickly and effectively, before you jump into expensive pixels and code. By sketching first, you can weed out bad ideas before they progress while pursuing ones that are stickier, more engaging, and ultimately more impactful.

Por que storytelling?
Por um instante esqueça features, funcionalidades e KPIs. No centro de tudo que você faz, seja startup ou corporação, estão pessoas e as narrativas da vida delas.
Quem são estas pessoas? O que estão fazendo? Podem estar na rua, no ônibus, pegando o filho na escola ou assistindo a uma partida de futebol. No meio ou durante tudo isto, estão usando seu produto ou serviço.
Em meio à complexidade, tantas metodologias, frameworks, backlog, plataformas, etc, é fácil esquecer o lado humano e os micro-momentos que compõe as experiências.
Storytelling e empatia são centrais em Design Thinking, Design Sprints e Lean UX.
Nestes anos de prática profissional na IDEO, Itaú e Huge, nos EUA, Alemanha, Brasil e Inglaterra, aprendi que a habilidade fundamental para inovar, criar e implementar experiências ou negócios de sucesso, é a capacidade de entender, comunicar e influenciar narrativas.
Te convido para este bate-papo onde vamos ver exemplos reais, vou compartilhar a minha experiência em projetos por todo o mundo e ferramentas práticas para você fazer uso na sua empresa, seja ela startup ou corporação.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.
