Too often we model processes around the myth of Database Transactions, ofter forgetting what a transaction really means in the real world. This talk shows an easy and cheap approach to use together with EventStorming in order to include User Experience into process modelling

- The document discusses digital transformation and how companies can master digital disruption. It provides 7 steps for digital transformation: 1) focus on solving customer problems, 2) involve everyone in intrapreneurship, 3) disrupt your own business model, 4) make digital a core part of your organization, 5) rapidly ship products, 6) develop digital leadership capabilities, and 7) introduce agile technology platforms. - It emphasizes the importance of moving fast, embracing change, thinking like a startup, and developing a "garage mindset" to foster innovation.

The document discusses the process of business design and the business model canvas. It emphasizes that design involves considering technical, business, and human factors holistically. An effective business model incorporates perspectives on offerings, operations, economics, marketing, and growth strategy. The business model canvas is a tool to design these perspectives and test assumptions through simple early experiments. The process involves clearly defining customer needs and value propositions, and designing how value will be operationally delivered. It highlights that business design requires continually exploring options, testing assumptions empirically and keeping the model hypothesis simple and elegant.

This document provides tips for creating engaging slide decks on SlideShare that garner many views. It recommends focusing on quality over quantity when creating each slide, using compelling images and headlines, and including calls to action throughout. It also suggests experimenting with sharing techniques and doing so in waves to build momentum. The goal is to create decks that are optimized for sharing and spread across multiple channels over time.

At an increasing rate (according to IBM C-Suite studies) companies are seeing that they need to figure out ways to put the customer at the center of their attention and decisions. But do businesses have the data or insight to put them there? In the MIT Sloan Management Review article Finding The Right Product For Your Product Clayton M. Christensen, Scott D. Anthony, Gerald Berstell and Denise Nitterhouse discusses the idea of understanding what jobs customers are trying to solve and then figuring out the reason people are pulling the product into these jobs. As many others I am currently prototyping a tool for this theory (Work-In-Progress) and my work so far can be seen and downloaded here. I'm employing the same strategies towards my own business as I do with my clients, therefore the tool is still just a prototype being redesigned and redesigned again. But hopefully there are people out there interested in trying the tool out, give feedback and help on the way forward. This tool is not a parking lot for an idea - but a continuous, hopefully never-ending process.

Both digital and traditional businesses are constantly evolving, and the need to move fast is a pervasive reality. Delivering what customers want and need goes beyond the creation of delivery channels. In fact, it relies on the company’s ability to produce, consume, organise, understand, curate, and distribute data. In this presentation, Dan Aragao and Simon Hope provide a glimpse of the journey ThoughtWorks and REA are currently undergoing to create a truly data-centric, cutting-edge digital business.

A 30 minute video of this talk is available on the Strongly Sustainable Business Model Group's youTube Channel: http://youTube.com/ssBusinessModelTV http://youtu.be/cny6ZD4P6Bg. In these slides Antony Upward, Sustainability Business Architect, tells two stories about Strongly Sustainable Business Models - explaining why they are better models for better business, and sharing the quest to find better tools to design these better business models. This was a presentation delivered at the TiE Institute's Social Entrepreneurship Program - in the session entitled "Business Model Canvas and Customer Development" (http://www.tieinstitute.org/tie-institute/eventsdetails-TiESep2013BusinessModelCanvasandCustomerDevelopment). The other speakers on that night (Prof. Dave Valliere, Director, Entrepreneurship Research Institute, Ted Rogers School of Management (Ryerson University), and Seema Pabari from Tiffinday) can be viewed on the TiE Institute's channel (http://www.youtube.com/user/TiEInstituteTO/videos?shelf_id=4&view=0&sort=dd).

This document discusses how digital transformation is inevitable for enterprises due to ongoing digital disruption. It defines digital transformation as using digital technologies to improve customer experience, products/services, and business operations. The document outlines three approaches to digital transformation: IT transformation, business operations transformation, and business model transformation. It recommends that enterprises focus on business operations transformation by recognizing disruption, focusing on customers, rethinking their business, and not waiting too long to transform.

The slides set was used for a breakout session at BMW Summer School. The content was built to introduce Design Thinking principles in three hours.

A regular talk I give across the globe for both corporate innovation and startup ideation. I took a great group of Hubbers through the process of finding product market fit with their ideas, startups and products

The document provides an overview of Steve Blank's teachings on business models, customer development, and how startups differ from large companies. It discusses that startups search for a repeatable business model through customer development, while large companies focus on execution. Key points include: - Startups are temporary organizations that search for a business model, while companies execute known business plans. - The business model canvas is used to visualize hypotheses about the problem and solution that are then tested through customer development. - Customer development involves building minimum viable products and pivoting based on feedback, rather than following traditional product launch processes. - Founders run customer development teams rather than hiring functional roles like sales and marketing early on.

Every startup begins with an idea. This is a talk on how to come up with startup ideas and how to use validation to pick the ones worth working on. It's based on the book "Hello, Startup" (http://www.hello-startup.net/). You can find the video of the talk here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkmiE8d_5Pw

Overview I gave of my book The Lean Product Playbook at Leading the Product Melbourne on October 20, 2016.

Consider first that platforms are becoming a dominant form of business organization. Then consider how you transition an existing product to a platform. This talk illustrates steps to make the transition. It then describes what an open business model looks like and compares differences in openness of Apple, Google, Microsoft and others.

The document discusses the innovation matrix, which is a tool to help companies choose the best innovation strategy that fits their needs. It outlines two key parameters to consider: commitment (whether a one-off event or long-term plan is needed) and capabilities (whether to focus on internal or external capabilities). The matrix then shows where different types of innovation initiatives, such as innovation workshops, accelerators, and startup funds, fall based on these parameters. The rest of the document provides more details on various initiatives that companies can pursue.

1) The document discusses how the University of York Library has used various user experience (UX) techniques like ethnographic observation and interviews to better understand user needs and behaviors. 2) Some changes implemented based on UX findings include installing hot water taps, changing hours, and adding blankets - aimed at improving the small details of user experience. 3) The presentation encourages other libraries, archives and museums to try incorporating UX techniques like behavioral mapping and cognitive interviews to inform design changes that enhance services for users.

At BuildStuff'14, Kevlin Henney presented an excellent talk titled "Seven ineffective coding habits of many programmers". As an attendee that day and someone who has exhibited many of these habits over the years, I came to realize that using F# has cured me of many of these ineffective habits! In this talk I'll share my thoughts on how the use of F# and functional programming techniques can help form and nurture good habits and give you the perfect practice you need to make perfect.

http://www.ianlivingstone.ca/2015/11/17/enabling-autonomy/ The drastic increase in the importance of knowledge workers has turned traditional management structures and philosophy upside down. Previously, all of the information and authority was centralized in management and workers simply operated according to some proscribed procedure with limited ability to make their own decisions. However, the rise of the knowledge worker such as developers, designers, and product managers has thrown these structures out the window as they've proven unable to deliver incredible products and technology. The new name of the game is enabling teams to operate autonomously and build towards a vision that is seeded by the leadership but authored by the team. How do we enable teams to operate autonomously while ensuring that they are held accountable? How does this change as organizations grow? Why does this matter and what are the results?

The document discusses CSS Grid Layout as a new method for controlling page layout with CSS. It provides examples of using Grid Layout properties like grid-template-columns, grid-template-rows, and grid-column to define a grid structure and position elements within that grid. Key benefits highlighted include describing the layout solely in CSS, ability to redefine the layout at different breakpoints, and eliminating the need for layout hacks or non-semantic markup used by older methods.

Pollen VC builds a digital lending business to help app developers access their app store earnings early. Their tech platform connects directly to app stores to price risk in real time. This allows developers to reinvest earnings daily into user acquisition instead of waiting 60+ days for platforms to pay out. Typically, developers fail to get early credit and can't acquire more users, but Pollen VC's new model provides funding using real-time app data to validate risk. They aim to fund more opportunities for long tail developers by improving access to working capital.
