Design Thinking and Public Sector Innovation Ben Weinlick
Ben Weinlick of Think Jar Collective gave a keynote for the Canada Conference Board Public Sector Innovation conference on how human centered design thinking can be a game changer for service and system innovation in the public and social sectors.
This set of method cards introduces briefly the design thinking approach. It explains the design process as well as the prototyping phases of design thinking projects.
There basically 2 ways of getting involved with the University of St.Gallen in order to have a design thinking team working for your organization.
1. Design Thinking @ HSG
2. Embedded Design Thinking
Both ways are explained in the set.

For a Knowledge Management Round Table, Melbourne. An exploration workshop into using design thinking to support workplace change coupled with digital technologies.
Motivated by curiosity and a strong conviction that the tools and methods of design thinking ignite innovative ideas and solutions, a group of Portland-based, like-minded practitioners set out to survey the local landscape. Our goal: to uncover the tactics, challenges, benefits and themes surrounding design thinking in our community.
This is the result.
We found more than a dozen common themes and insights. Some of them speak directly to the benefits of a design thinking approach. Some express deep challenges to making that approach work in the real world. In all cases, we are pleasantly surprised by the conviction, passion, and commitment to overcoming those challenges and sharing the benefits of design thinking. !

Is Design Thinking important? We think it is - it’s one of our 8 building blocks for digital transformation. But what it is it, and why? In the run up to the Global Legal Hackathon, we thought we’d distil our workshop slides and ideas with an associated blog post to explain it.
Let’s set the scene with five quotes from experts and artists you will recognise explaining what design really is:
"The ultimate defense against complexity” - David Gelernter, Professor of Computer Science, Yale
"Simplicity is the ultimate sophistication” - Leonardo da Vinci
"Design is a way of changing life and influencing the future” - Sir Ernest Hall. Pianist, Entrepreneur, and Philanthropist
“Most people make the mistake of thinking design is what it looks like. People think it’s this veneer - that the designers are handed this box and told, ‘Make it look good!’ That’s not what we think design is. It’s not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.” - Steve Jobs
“Design-thinking firms stand apart in their willingness to engage in the task of continuously redesigning their business… to create advances in both innovation and efficiency - the combination that produces the most powerful competitive edge.” - Roger Martin, author of the Design of Business
Over the last couple of years I've talked a lot on Design Thinking, Design in general and Service Design.
This presentation is my incomplete story on the topic, with storyline.

Design Thinking for Social Innovation at IEMax Oliva
How might we provide drinkable water to low income rural communities? How might we provide premature baby incubation solutions for the Base of the Pyramid? How might we create a process and culture which enables innovaiton to be at the core of our organization, be it from a social enteprise, a responsible business or a cross collaboration with unlikely allies? We need to re-imagine, re-invent and re-design the way that we do business, the way in which we create and deliver value. Design is too important to be left to designers alone. During this workshop, you will learn the key concepts of Design Thinking with a focus on social innovation, experimenting with collective creativity, and practicing with key tools to apply in future social challenges. Design thinking you can learn at a workshop; it takes a lifetime to master it.
Working remotely has many benefits but also some obvious and non-obvious challenges. Discussions about remote work also often tend to be generic, however each discipline require its own kind of variations, and design isn’t different.
A lot of the tools available to designers are meant to be used in person, but what if we happen to work remotely, or we want to switch a product team to being remote? How to build trust, gather feedback and craft a unified vision? This talk takes inspiration from some of the practices of Automattic’s teams to overcome some of the unique challenges of remote working.
These solutions will also be beneficial to any designer who desires to engage with open source projects, as they are by definition remote.
This talk was done the first time at WordCamp Brighton 2017.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).
Speakers:
Bob Boule
Robert Boule is a technology enthusiast with PASSION for technology and making things work along with a knack for helping others understand how things work. He comes with around 20 years of solution engineering experience in application security, software continuous delivery, and SaaS platforms. He is known for his dynamic presentations in CI/CD and application security integrated in software delivery lifecycle.
Gopinath Rebala
Gopinath Rebala is the CTO of OpsMx, where he has overall responsibility for the machine learning and data processing architectures for Secure Software Delivery. Gopi also has a strong connection with our customers, leading design and architecture for strategic implementations. Gopi is a frequent speaker and well-known leader in continuous delivery and integrating security into software delivery.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.
Elevating Tactical DDD Patterns Through Object CalisthenicsDorra BARTAGUIZ
After immersing yourself in the blue book and its red counterpart, attending DDD-focused conferences, and applying tactical patterns, you're left with a crucial question: How do I ensure my design is effective? Tactical patterns within Domain-Driven Design (DDD) serve as guiding principles for creating clear and manageable domain models. However, achieving success with these patterns requires additional guidance. Interestingly, we've observed that a set of constraints initially designed for training purposes remarkably aligns with effective pattern implementation, offering a more ‘mechanical’ approach. Let's explore together how Object Calisthenics can elevate the design of your tactical DDD patterns, offering concrete help for those venturing into DDD for the first time!

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Design is a way of thinking, of determining people’s true,
underlying needs, and then delivering products
and services that help them.
15. #3 Failure is Key
Failure is a (necessary) part of the process
in order to succeed
16. #4 Iterative
The more you are able to loop through
“understand > create > learn”
the higher chance you have
for good results
17. “The Process of Design Squiggle” by Damien Newman, Central Office of Design
18. There is not one single process
or toolkit that serves every single case.
There is a wide variety of processes and tools
that people customize to serve their needs.
20. Human-centered designers always start from the place of not
knowing the answer to the problem they’re looking to solve.
By embracing that ambiguity, and by trusting that
the human-centered design process will guide us toward
an innovative answer, we actually give ourselves permission
to be fantastically creative.

them, making you lose any relationship with
the real world.
• Augmented reality instead puts real elements
in context with reality.
25. AR and VR are usually associated
with goggles, but remember that they
encompass all five senses
26. Virtual Reality is becoming an important tool
for companies to prototype fast, because
it makes them spare time and money.
27. VR lets you test an object without having
to build it physically.
You can build it only in the latest phases
of design
28. It is also possible for the different designers
to meet in virtual reality and build the
prototype together while they discuss about it
29. Tests can be made by more people
and in different conditions
(e.g. a car can be tested in a sunny and rainy day)
30. Bell Helicopters claims that thanks to
HTC Vive, it has reduced the time to
design its latest helicopter from 5-7
years to less than 6 months

31. Virtual Reality can also be used to launch
automatic simulation tests on the element
you are designing, to validate its design
or to improve it.
32. These automated virtual simulations can be used
to train artificial intelligences in an optimal way
33. Drones and robots can learn how to recognize
elements in a domestic environment, all virtually.
This is cheaper, faster and safer
than traditional methods.
34. Data about the simulations
can be visualized in AR and VR
40. Psychology is the science of behavior and mind,
embracing all aspects of conscious and unconscious
experience as well as thought.
41. During the 1960s, a new perspective known
As cognitive psychology began to take hold.
This area of psychology focuses on mental
processes such as memory, thinking, problem
solving, language and decision-making.
42. The sociocultural perspective
maintains that behavior and mental
processes are shaped not only by prior
learning experiences or intra-psychic forces,
but also by the social or cultural context.
43. Dialectic Progression of Ideas: Hegel
Thesis Antithesisflaws/alt idea
Synthesis:
best of both
New Thesis flaws/alt idea
45. Data can only be fully explained with theories,
and theories are insufficient without data
– thus creating the cycle of science.
46. Cognitive processes interact with each
other and with non-cognitive processes
- Emotions may affect decisions
- Perception contributes to memory decisions

48. Three key concepts
- understand the link between social processes
and cognitive processes
- take note of bias of behavior and stereotypes,
to which no human being is immune
- reflect the rules of construction
50. Virtual reality can influence the brain deeply,
since it has a hypnotic effect.
This is being used to address desases
like anxiety, PTSD, etc..
51. It is also possible to meditate in VR
to improve own creativity.
e.g. MindMachine improves alpha waves x3
according to University of Beijing.
52. VR is the ultimate empathy machine [Chris Milk]
VR experiences are very emotional and can
influence the behaviour of people
Fondazione Prada
53. Some people also wonder if this superpower of VR.
Can be used in the future by governments and marketing
agencies to influence masses
54. There are studies on how behavior
in AR/VR influences behaviour in real life
55. For example, a Stanford research found that
people avoided sitting on a chair they had just
seen a virtual person sit on
56. In the same research, participants appeared
to be influenced by the presence of a virtual
avatar in a similar way they would be if a real
person were next to them
57. But VR is not exactly like real life.
University of British Columbia has found that
a virtual avatar doesn’t prevent contagious
yawning like a real person in the room
58. There already projects mixing virtual&augmented reality
together with emotion detection, even using brain sensors
(e.g. Neurable)
59. Analyzing the emotions of your users
via worn sensors or image analysis,
you can improve your design.
This is also fundamental in retail
and advertisement.
61. The University of Barcelona showed
that continuously swapping body between
you and your psychologist (Sigmund Freud),
you can auto-analyze yourself.
This could also be used to brainstorm
your project with yourself.
62. Body swapping is very powerful,
and many experiments show it
(e.g. in one you embed Albert Einstein).
It can be used to view the world
(and your product) from the eyes of different
kinds of people.
63. The human brain is a fascinating organ,
we still don’t understand completely.
65. People love to think their intuition is correct
or they are otherwise able to logically
analyze every situation
Thinking, Fast and Slow

66. We jump to conclusions to save time.

68. Benefits of Recognizing Biases
- Better design.
- More efficient workplaces.
- Low level of anxiety and more happiness
69. Confirmation bias:
defined by Skinner (psychologist - 1953)
as "cognitive dissonance", this bias involves
the behavior that leads us to refer to those
who are not only in agreement with us but
feed and reinforce our convictions.
70. Group bias:
When we are part of a group, the behavior trend
is to believe that it is rich in success because
of its own internal qualities, other than
the low-value features of other surrounding
groups.
71. Gabler's Fallacy Bias:
Describes the tendency to interpret
the present based on what happened
in the past. It therefore triggers a vicious
circle that, if in the negative form,
can help lower the self-esteem
and quality of the group.
72. Error Bias by Similarity or Contrast:
In a group, a leader who has a strong self
esteem will tend to involve individuals who are
imitating him for behaviors and features; on the
contrary, a leader with low self-esteem will
reward those who will overcome their
shortcomings.
73. Bias of the status quo:
When the change scares, this bias entails
fossilizing on decisions and positions taken
in the past, with the consequence
of instilling the conviction that a different
approach can only worsen the current situation.
74. Negative bias:
this is a dangerous distortion because
it puts the negative and negative events
in the foreground underestimating
the positive ones that could act as leverage
to solve the group's issues.
102. The ultimate form of virtual reality
will be brain computer interfaces
103. Instead of stimulating all the parts of the body,
we will be able to inject all the information
directly into the brain
There are already early experiments
in this sense.
Warner Bros
105. BCI is an ongoing research and many
companies are experimenting on it (e.g.
Facebook, Valve, Elon Musk’s Neuralink, etc…)
Neuralink
106. Elon musk dreams a world where we can
directly communicate via our brain between
us, and at the same time being one thing with
artificial intelligence.
Globetrender
107. This is also creating an ongoing debate on the possible
malicious use of the technology
• Big companies may overuse the data they harvest from
our brain (e.g. for advertisement);
• Governments could change our minds by just pressing a
button.
