Steal This Idea: The No-process Process / By Marty NeumeierLiquid Agency
Designers have been touting process for decades. Why? Because clients need reassurance that their investment is safe. By turning creativity into a rational business process, designers have persuaded companies to trust them with mission-critical projects and substantial budgets. Process equals predictability. But what does the rational process really predict? Unfortunately, only sameness. If you want real innovation, you’ll need a much different process.

Managing the Digital Transformation. How companies develop successful product...Ingasol GmbH
Digital is oftentimes perceived as a wave of transformational opportunities, as well as threats, that form the ecosystem in which we conduct our daily activities, work and play.
Although the term is most of the times connected with a shift in technology investment, its true implications go beyond technology and into the fields of infrastructure, company culture, leadership, as well as a change of focus on the entire customer experience.
Traditional approaches to corporate strategy are failing. This is exacerbated by the incessant acceleration in the pace of business change. Now the digital tsunami is reshaping every industry. Long-standing assumptions about how people and organisations make economic decisions turn out to be fundamentally flawed. People make irrational decisions all the time, but in very predictable ways! The trick is to know how to figure out the rapidly-changing rules governing human behaviour. Adding to the uncertainty, long-term sustainable competitive advantage is replaced by a new era of transient advantage, where enterprises need to constantly be reinventing themselves: modernising and evolving their business models, management models, and products and services.
Constant innovation and rapid speed-to-market are the new black. At ThoughtWorks Live Australia 2016, Keith Dodds talked about navigating in deep and turbulent waters where the old maps are no longer reliable. Success will only go to the enterprises that are truly organisationally agile and highly adaptive.
According to recent research, companies that create and sustain a culture where employees thrive are three times more productive than those that do not. Research also suggests that staff turnover may cost a company as much as 50 to 400 per cent of an employee's annual salary (depending on skill level) in lost productivity and re-recruitment alone. As it turns out, that second company focused on employee experience - a key tool that helps companies deliver better engagement, performance and growth capabilities. In the past, operational principles whipped industrial organizations into shape to drive productivity. Currently, leaders are focusing on digitization to create competitive advantage. We believe that humanization, or a focus on people and reimagining how we want to work in the future, is the next frontier.

Some people have the misconception that design is just creating ‘pretty pictures’. This is not the case; there is a science to creating the right ‘pretty picture’.
This presentation is aimed at teams who either do not have the luxury of a designer on their team, or they have a designer that works in silo to their team. Small teams of developers, Business Analysts and Quality Analysts will benefit from understanding the finer details of design. Developers will gain empathy for design and a better understanding of how to display content. Quality Analysts will learn how to quickly notice problems with a design before release.
It also demonstrates how to ensure the product you are building is ‘on brand’ and ‘user-centric’, and why this is important to ensure the success of your product.

A Multi-Company Perspective: Enterprise Cloud and PaaSThoughtworks
Tech communities are always abuzz with the potential of Platform as a Service (PaaS). The promised ability to slash delivery times, allowing teams to iterate and release new features faster, has a growing number of organisations looking to implement PaaS in 2016.
In this presentation, industry leaders provide insights from the trenches by letting us enter the world of Cloud applications automation and PaaS. We also get a glimpse into why and how PaaS is widely adopted, as well as appreciate its constructs and challenges.
Further more, you can learn how build your delivery platform around AWS services, CloudFoundry or OpenShift and reflect on how best to create internal cloud and PaaS capabilities to change the way your organisation delivers software.
The title of this presentation is taken from two quotes attributed to Colin Chapman, the founder of Lotus cars, who said: “adding power makes you faster on the straights; subtracting weight makes you faster everywhere”.
This same philosophy underlies principle 10 of the Manifesto for Agile Software Development. Simplicity – the art of maximising the work not done – is essential. Principle 10 is the most important and most misunderstood of the Agile principles. It stands out from the other 11 in a number of ways. It is the only one described as an art; the specific phrasing,“maximising the work not done”, is somewhat unusual; and it is the only one to be explicitly called out as essential.
The presentation introduces attendees to the idea that Principle 10 is essential because it underlies, supports and enables everything else and that without unwavering adherence to it, achieving agility in software development or anything else will be compromised.
This presentation teach will teach you to identify and evaluate opportunities for simplification and maximisation of work not done.
Dominique Cerutti : Leading the disruptions | Zinnov Confluence '16 MunichZinnov
Keynote delivered by Dominique Cerutti, CEO Altran
While the emergence of AI announces a new wave of breakthrough technologies and innovations which will shake up industries organizations and operations, Dominique Cerutti will explore in his speech the different strategic orientations that industry leaders must envisage to manage innovation in their organizations. How to drive and organize a variety of ER&D activities and focus on value adding areas? Which type of partners and engagement policies shall be set up to leverage on the new opportunities revealed by the disruptions ahead?
The architecture, engineering, and construction (AEC) industry will be disrupted by technology in a significant way. BuildingSP believes that design automation will be the disruptor based on the history of disruption, the first principles that design automation affects, and similarities to other design automation examples.
In the early days of product development, the technology is inferior and lacking in performance. The focus is very much on the technology itself. The users are enthusiast who like the idea of the product, find use for it, and except the lack of performance. Then as the product becomes more mature, other factors become important, such as price, design, features, portability. The product moves from being a technology to become a consumer item, and even a community.
In this lecture we explore the change from technology focus to consumer focus, and look at why people stand in line overnight to buy the latest gadgets.
How Do You Lead Innovation?
Sverre Munck (Chairman Opera Software, past: 20 yrs EVP in Schibsted) and myself (Co-Founder / CEO in Lettspart and Digital Expert in Sprint, past: Schibsted) held this presentation about #Exploit #Explore at a breakfast seminar with Sprint Consulting in Oslo.
The topic was how to work with innovation leadership, in light of a framework I picked up from my ever awesome professor Michael L. Tushman at Harvard Business School. Read more about his work in his article "The-Ambidextrous-CEO" here https://hbr.org/2011/06/the-ambidextrous-ceo. For our Norwegian speakers, I translated and adapted Tushman's article here http://sprint.no/a-lykkes-med-to-ting-pa-en-gang/.
Sverre and me give some general observations about risk, we introduce the framework, and Sverre masterfully tells the "Past Report" about Schibsted's last 20 years, in light of exploit explore.
Remember, work on your innovation strategy, it's like brushing your teeth, you have to do it everyday!
Have a great day

Design System as a Product - Maria Elena Duenias, Esther Butcher
Design systems are a great example where web development and design meet. You can find innumerable resources on the internet, books and conferences on how to build them, and how they are exactly what your organization needs. But, building one requires a lot more than following a recipe. In this talk we are going to discuss how to build a design system as an internal product, and how it evolves to become what the users need.
Designers, Developers and Dogs: Finding the magic balance between product and tech - Charlotte Vorbeck, ShareNow and Sahil Bajaj
How can an agile delivery team become a successful product team? When does collaboration between product and tech succeed and when not? Why do people in some teams inspire each other while others in the same environment don't speak the same language? In this talk we want to share our learnings and experiences from rebuilding an internal tool for customer support at ShareNow. What could have been just another boring rewrite surprisingly became one of our best experiences in collaboration. We will look at how a joint discovery phase helped us to come up with a shared vision, how a better team setup enabled us to do the necessary work, how focusing on the customer kept us aligned during our journey, and also how we built upon existing collaborative techniques to achieve this new level of cooperation and trust.
During this presentation, Ward Coessens, ThoughtWorks' Consultant will share best practice insights from the Daimler partnership, helping the automotive group on their cloud innovation journey.
How to create more business impact with flexible teams - Jan Hegewald, Zalando & Rebekka Beels, Zalando
Usually, Software Engineering teams are organized around a fixed set of components which they develop further and maintain. Such component teams gain a high level of expert knowledge about their services. However, with agile product development, it often is difficult to implement the most important initiatives with such teams. This leads to a situation where the teams do not work on the most relevant business topics but on those for the respective team. At Zalando, we introduced a new model where we shape teams flexibly around business goals to create the highest impact. How we organize these teams and which challenges especially for the software quality need to be addressed, will be explored in this talk.
Amazon’s Culture of Innovation & The Working Backwards session
Working Backwards; leading organisations achieve growth by marrying customer-obsession with a modern technology strategy. Where do you begin? By focusing on the customer.
During this webinar, Amazon will discuss key innovation principles which have been instrumental in their continued success and their Working Backwards approach.
Dual-Track Agile for Discovery & Development - Adriana Katrandzhieva
The talk will focus on one of the ways teams can ensure continuous delivery and design in their projects. The so-called ‘Dual-track’ model shows the parallel tracks of discovery and development throughout the product design and delivery process. These continually feedback into each other informing new hypothesis that can be tested in order to be proven/disproven. This model is not always easy to implement out of the box and so I will share my own experiences in applying it in practice - what worked, what didn't and how the model can be adjusted to fit different teams and organisational environments.
Designing the Developer Experience - Tanja Bach, Jacob Bo Tiedemann
Working with software that some other people have built, is not only daily business for private and business users but also for developers. Just like any other product, a product for developers needs to solve their problems and focus on the right jobs-to-be-done in order to be successfully adopted by the developer community. In this talk, we will explain why the developer experience matters not only to developers but also to the business. We will share our learnings and real-world examples of how we created a developer experience for a cloud infrastructure product and an IoT platform that the developers love.
When we design together - Sabrina Mach, Ammara Gafoor and James Emmott
From three distinct perspectives, this talk will contend that design is an activity undertaken by everyone in a software development team. It occurs throughout the process of delivery — not only at the beginning or the end — and it is a powerful instrument for learning about and adapting to the problems our work seeks to solve, which is a shared responsibility. Making the best use of our multidisciplinary expertise in the activity of design requires forms of collaboration that are too often disrupted by the role-based silos that keep us separated and weaken the valuable contribution our diverse approaches could make to our collective efforts. If you care about accelerating time to market, improving customer experience, or building happy and productive teams, you will want to know why and how it matters that we believe ‘design is in everything that we do’.
Hardware is hard(er): designing for distributed user experiences in IoT - Claire Rowland, www.clairerowland.com
Designing connected devices and hardware-enabled services is significantly more complex than pure software. There are more devices on which code can run, connectivity and data sharing patterns to consider, and often multiple and varied touchpoints for users to interact with. Pulling this all together into a coherent experience involves strong collaboration between design and engineering, and a systems thinking approach to UX. In this talk, we’ll introduce what designers need to know about the tech, what engineers need to know about UX for IoT, and how to facilitate the whole-collaboration needed to create great products.

Find out how to validate hypotheses quickly using feedback that comes from a (large enough) number of actual users interacting with your product. In this talk, we will show you the technical foundations, research techniques and organisational setup that we have used successfully on large-scale products. These will save you development time, enable you to go live with confidence, make decisions based on real behaviour instead of best guesses, and solve the actual problems your users are facing.
As a tech leader at ThoughtWorks, a large part of my job involves recommending practices to our clients so they can build and deliver good quality software faster. In doing so repeatedly for many clients I have created a toolkit that contains practical advice from being on the ground. This is what we do, we know it works. When Julius Caesar entered Rome with his army by crossing the river Rubicon, he did something that couldn’t be undone ever again. In your journey as a leader, avoid mistakes that are difficult to correct later. Here are a set of practices that you want to adopt as soon as possible.
Handling error conditions is a core part of the software we write. However, we often treat it as a second class citizen, obscuring our intent through abuse of null values and exceptions that make our code hard to understand and maintain. In the functional programming community, it is common to use datatypes such as Option, Either or Validated to make our intentions explicit when dealing with errors. We can leverage the compiler to verify that we are handling them instead of hoping for the best at runtime. This results in code that is clearer, without hidden path flows. We’ll show how we have been doing this in Kotlin, with the help of the Arrow library.
Mutation testing in software development surfaced in academia during the 70's and has recently seen a resurgence in popularity as a legitimate tool in your testing arsenal. In this session we review the conventional testing pyramid, modern approaches to testing software and look at how mutation testing can help fill in those blind spots.
The continued adoption of containers for deployments has introduced a new path for security issues. In this talk, we will cover the most common areas of vulnerabilities, the challenges in securing your containers, some good practices to help overcome these issues and how to run container security scanning as part of your deployment pipeline.
Mainframes handle 30 billion business transactions each day and 87% of all credit card transactions*, they are not traditionally associated with flexible, fail-fast development approaches.

Editor's Notes
IDEA 1 – INNOVATION MUST GROW UP: Time (0:30)
I’m here today because I am both excited about the opportunities of a world increasingly driven by creative ideas and fearful that we lack the mental and practical models of innovation to rise to that challenge. All too often we are like a child who learns to play a simple song and then innocently assumes they are ready to perform in an orchestra onstage. With few exceptions we are not ready. Our techniques for innovation were developed for challenges that were relevant in the past. Innovation needs to grow up. To understand the urgency behind that statement let me begin with a quick review of the playing field onto which which every business, government and organization has been thrust.
IDEA 2: UPRECEDENTED CREATIVE TOOLS AND MINDS (time 0:40)
We have access to an incredibly powerful toolbox fueled by technologies that have creative synergies.

It isn’t just the pace of innovation that is accelerating. The nature of a competitors offerings is changing radically too. For years we’ve been told by Harvard trained business strategist that success lay in finding our core competency. Price, Performance, or Service. We were to become hedgehogs who focused on one end of the market or the other. If you are a premium brand be the very best at being the best. If we have chosen to compete in the commoditized mass market. Then master the art of efficiency and operational discipline. Focus was the word and innovations were designed to move us up one notch on our chosen dimension of competition. This new marketplace will make road kill of the hedgehogs. New innovations don’t just incrementally raise the bar in one direction. The new innovators are capable of driving improvement in every key performance metric. The new guy can be better, cheaper and more customized.

At its heart, big innovation, is about creating complex new systems of value. You can use this as a test for investments that come across your desk. Do they ultimately lead to some new distinct system of value creation? Simple feature additions and performance improvements won’t make the cut. Neither will cool new bright and shiney objects sit in isolation.

This model really took off with the advent of mobile applications, where small ideas could be quickly built and deployed to a waiting audience. It began to seem that only thing we needed was a good idea. This spawned a cult of ideation, techniques and firms were created to help you imagine something new. The sales of post it notes exploded.
Steven Blank and Eric Reis correctly pointed out that investing in unproven ideas was a fools strategy, and so the ideation model was augmented with a mandate to test ideas with real users. User Centered Design combined with a mandate to Fail Fast to provide what seemed like rigor to the process. Now we had a model that a responsible business leader might invest in.
IDEA 8: SIMPLE PILOTS DON’T GROW UP (Time 9:20)
And invest we did. It’s not just startups that wanted in on the action. Enterprises of every size, but particularly large organizations with leaders who saw the threats on the horizon, created small teams and innovation labs that ran alongside their established businesses. They were rewarded for the originality and speed of their ideas. Prototypes and pilot programs became part of both the CEO’s and the CIO’s world.
One of the areas that I have been working has been the space of Humanitarian Innovation. This is a field that has fully embraced the crowd sourcing of ideas and small lightweight challenge grants to prove out new innovations. It’s worked really well, however, over the last two years a disturbing trend has been noted all these little pilots. These baby bunnies of ideas, were failing to grow up.
http://s0.geograph.org.uk/geophotos/03/00/79/3007908_1f9070ec.jpg
The organizations were investing in lots of pilots, but all they were managing to do was breed baby bunnies. Even great ideas stayed stuck as a small effort with limited impact.
The tame corners of innovation have forced an arbitrary simplicity onto business opportunities. That worked when the problems actually were that simple …

But it in no way erases the complexity of the most important opportunities we face today.

This work to build the ecosystem that sustainably creates value, is the part that was missing from our earlier model. It’s hard complex work that often requires more commitment than the initial presumably high risk parts of the innovation lifecycle. Unlike the tame innovation models of the past, this form of innovation has the potential to capture big new messy opportunity … but it also requires us to make some real changes in strategy, methodology, tools and organization.
Let’s take as an example the Retail Store. The retail business model lives inside a box where the retailer puts products in, entices customer to visit, and then sells thing to the to take away. Strategies are continually refined inside this space, even as cut throat competition makes profitability and survival ever more difficult.
Retailers see their box as the whole world, but in reality, there is a world of unmet needs.
That create new opportunities, the kind of opportunities where doing some big innovation could change the game.
IDEA 13: INVENT NEW ECOSYSTEMS (time 14:00)
Simply following your customer home, escaping the box will expose new opportunities to extend your value proposition …

Let’s begin with a piece of IOT Technology, a smart fridge. If that fridge knows when you’re running low on eggs that’s kind of cool, but not terribly useful in life.
Now, lets say the fridge could leverage its connectivity to talk to your phone and let you know that you need eggs. That’s more useful, we have an ecosystem now instead of just a cool thing.
Let’s extend our ecosystem and have the fridge actually order the eggs from the grocery store. What we’ve created here is basically an automated Dash button.
So let’s take this a step further and add some new value into your life. Let’s say you’d like really fresh organic eggs. Well a smart connected fridge, instead of ordering from the grocery store you go to, could go and search the local egg farmers looking for who has fresh eggs that morning. Now we’ve got a new level of value … a new personal supply chain that never existed before.
Of course we don’t have to stop there. We could have the fridge access all sorts of other information as it shops for you. What’s your wearable technology saying about you health? What’s the budget look like this week? What’s the latest published information about diet and health? New we have created a partner in creating the life you want, not simply a labor saving device. That’s what imagining a complex ecosystem can do for your.

Do they ultimately lead to some new distinct system of value creation? Simple feature additions and performance improvements won’t make the cut. Neither will cool new bright and shiney objects sit in isolation.
Of course, if we’re going to adopt this model, we must embrace a world where change happens as an ongoing matter of course. Not only do we need to Pivot as our vision evolves, we’ll also want to repurpose or extend these assets to use in other new capabilities.
The way we view our tools can also change. Complex systems can be made more manageable by creating them out of standardized elements. Legos it turns out are a brilliant manifestation of a design strategy for complexity. The Lego motorcycle can be created more quickly, more easily adjusted, and more accurately replicated than a custom analog creation like the sculpture on the left.

So no up front planning. No breaking the work into independent pieces. That drives a fundamental shift in the way we deliver our innovations. We need to simultaneously have a holistic view of where we want to go and at the same time allow for the fact that we’ll need to shift course along the way. We must embark on a journey, which is anchore in a guiding end state vision. This vision allows us to shape a complete … but very course grained … view of our ecosystem. We then build, test and learn, adjusting and adding finer grained elements as we go. It’s like a whole picture that gradually comes into focus. We don’t so much fail fast as we learn quickly,

Journeys where multiple complex elements evolve in partnership with each other, require people who can see bigger patterns of design and vision. Interestingly the arts have lots of names for this kind of role. Choreographers, Arrangers, Directors all represent roles created to generate complex solutions.
