Customer Development - Identifying and Testing Startup HypothesesHenrik Berglund
Presentation for VCs, angels and incubator coaches on how to help startups implement customer development, specifically how to identify and test startup hypotheses.
Draws heavily on ideas and content from Steve Blank, Cindy Alvarez and Jason Evanish.
My motto this year is "Evolve & Disrupt". I did a couple of keynotes on the matter recently, so I'm sharing this presentation to illustrate how I handle the "fuzzy front-end" of product development, aside from the Lean Startup stuff everybody talks about. Don't be fooled by the funny (and a bit irreverent) cartoons; Jobs To Be Done is a major breakthrough with a lot of practical applications. I have been working solidly on it for the last year and it is totally influencing how I see the world.

TConf 2017 - Testers in a Startup. Really?Melissa Ngau

Our combined experience spans over four decades working in IT which allowed us to help the teams in our Startup develop capabilities in exploratory, performance and automated testing.
We will also discuss how we managed to keep our jobs after we successfully made ourselves redundant.

Breaking Down Biases w/ Adversarial PM Techniques by Philosophie Dir of AIProduct School
Main takeaways:
-How to use random processes to break out of biases you don't know you have
-How to use noise to understand the world and interpret the ambiguity you see
-How to use chaos to build more resilient teams
Presentation given at the Inspire 2009 conference in Bucharest. Originally intended to be titled ´What if there was no TV´, during the preparation I noticed several trends that led me to change the title to Ádvertising is Dead´. Every new technology has a shorter curve from introduction to irritation. It´s time for a new approach, which I call the Attraction Model.

In the Experience Economy, capturing the real customer experience is more important than ever. But the proliferation of digital technology has both multiplied and changed the nature of customer touchpoints, making this task more complex.
In addition, recent thinking from behavioural economics tells us it is not always straightforward to get to a true understanding of our customers' experiences. The reasons people do things may be a mystery to themselves, let alone market researchers.
In the talk I look at the shift in the customer landscape and our understanding of ourselves, before looking at practical ways to capture the real customer experience with examples from the nativeye insight platform.

La presente comunicación aborda el fenómeno de la participación de los usuarios de los nuevos medios a partir de formas específicas de producción que promueven la interacción entre creadores e industria. Este tipo de colaboración, definida como ‘co-creación’, tiene lugar “cuando un componente significativo del diseño, el desarrollo, la producción, la comercialización y la distribución un producto audiovisual se obtiene mediante la participación o intervención directa de consumidores o usuarios” (Banks y Potts, 2010: 254). Teniendo en cuenta esta definición presentaremos el análisis de un caso de co-creación producido en el contexto de Moviestorm, un software de animación 3D cuya comunidad de modders constituye una fuerza productiva esencial en el desarrollo de addons, skins y otros complementos del programa.

Gang. Thanks so much for joining us today. I’m going to start with a bit of an unconventional preamble:
Yes, I’m a sales person and that traditional moniker helps define our working relationship.
However, I also know that more and more, people would rather go to the dentist <insert your own awful thing> than interact with a sales rep.
FullStory believes that Everyone deserves a better customer experience.
So it it my job is to make sure that this isn’t a trip to the dentist.
I want you to have an amazing customer experience as you evaluate FullStory and learn about how we can

However, I also know that more and more, people would rather go to the dentist <insert your own awful thing> than interact with a sales rep.
You know the drill: A typical sales person at a typical company would have already hit you with questions about your budget and authority and timelines...
Could you imagine walking into a store and having someone asking you how much cash you have in your wallet? Or if you had to check with your wife to purchase something?
That, gang, make for a horrible customer experience.
Because Empathy is emotionally exhausting.
In the early days of a company, the founders stay as close to the customers, they relish every thought good, bad or ugly.
It is that empathy that helps a company build great products.
But the traditional argument is that doesn’t scale well.
And so layers are built between customers and leadership.
Support becomes the first line and when need be they escalate
Over time support is often the only org that understands the customer. And even then they can start to become numb.
