Unleashing the Creative Mind of the Test Engineer
Do we each have a natural capacity for creativity? Can creativity be learned or enhanced? How do we ignite inventiveness?

CO2 2018 | Brandon Grover
The document discusses the importance of branding for a business. It makes three key points:
1. Establish a strong brand with well-defined core values and by focusing on long-term growth rather than short-term profits. Successful brands cited include American Express, Marriott, and Ford.
2. Simplify marketing messages to clearly communicate the brand's story and value proposition to customers. Steve Jobs is used as an example of focusing on an inspirational message rather than product specs.
3. Map out the entire customer journey and constantly work to improve the experience at every touchpoint to strengthen brand loyalty. Focusing on customer service and referrals can differentiate a brand more than competitive claims.

Updated: You Have An Idea ... Do You Have A Business?
Marty Kaszubowski, president of General Ideas, provides advice on starting a business. He emphasizes finding a real problem to solve rather than a pre-conceived solution. The document discusses evaluating ideas for being deep, intelligent, complete, empowering and elegant. It also stresses experimenting to find a repeatable business model and determining the type of startup company being formed, such as lifestyle, small business, or scalable.
Stop writing stories, start validating working software
Slides as presented at the 2020 Ágiles Latam Conference.
Abstract:
Barry O’Reilly exhorts today’s leaders to “break the cycle of behaviors that were effective in the past but are no longer relevant in the current business climate, and now limit or may even stand in the way of your success.” After more than two decades of writing, refining, grooming, estimating and documenting user stories, it’s time to unlearn them.
In a vast and sad irony, user stories have become the heavyweight documentation and process that they were meant to replace. This session proposes that we strip away the accrued behaviors and get back to the heart of agile and focus on delivering — and measuring progress by — working software.

The document discusses lean startup philosophies and principles. It explains that the vast majority of startups fail because no one wanted their product, not because they couldn't build it. Lean startups embrace experimentation and iterating based on customer feedback to determine what works in the market. Some key lean startup principles are building a minimum viable product, achieving product-market fit, and validating assumptions through customer development before prematurely scaling up or marketing.
SMU Starting a Business | Social Media | Digital Strategy | Startup
The document provides advice for starting a startup in the digital era. It begins by debunking the myth that startups instantly gain widespread success and media attention shortly after launching. It emphasizes that execution is critical for startups to succeed. The key elements needed to start a startup are outlined as self-awareness, having an idea, understanding your audience, developing a product, and execution. For each element, the document provides tips on where to start and common mistakes to avoid. It stresses the importance of building a product that users truly love in order to achieve word-of-mouth growth and find early adopters.
Lean Startup Dojo: MVP
The document discusses minimum viable products (MVPs) which are the simplest version of a new product that allows a team to collect validated learning about customers with minimal effort. It defines MVP and explains why they are used to avoid building things nobody wants by following a build-measure-learn loop. Some myths about MVPs are debunked and examples of real-world MVPs are provided. Exercises are included to help identify hypotheses to test and create MVP tests.
Tom Peters at Great Lakes Broadcasting Conference
This document discusses excellence in business and leadership. It provides advice on building successful companies, including decentralizing operations, focusing on execution, and emphasizing accountability. It also emphasizes the importance of embracing change, innovation, and diversity.
