“Success means we go to sleep at
night knowing that our talents and
abilities were used in a way that
served others.”
― Marianne Williamson

“Don’t ask what the world needs.
Ask what makes you come alive,
and go do it.
Because what the world needs is
people who have come alive.”
Howard Thurman

Brainstorming Rules
•One conversation at a time. Listen to
everyone’s ideas.
•Aim for as many ideas as possible
•No idea is a bad idea; No judgement/ criticism
allowed at this stage
•Say “Yes and” not “Yes but”. Build on the
ideas of others, instead of blocking them.
•Encourage wild ideas

“In order to have a good idea,
you have to have lots of ideas.”

What new product or service could you invent that would completely change your customers’ lives? How could you disrupt your entire sector? This practical workshop takes you through an innovation process, helping you to identify the clichés that exist in your sector and giving you the tools and time to redefine them. The workshop provides techniques to disrupt those clichés, generate genuine customer insights, turn opportunities into ideas through proven ideation methods, create a coherent concept and then articulate that concept. The workshop shows you how to realise a new product or service through a lean process of prototyping and iteration and we discuss case studies each step of the way.

Find out why the average brainstorm gives ideation a bad name and find out how to make your own innovation processes have tangible business outcomes. This workshop was ran at UX Cambridge in September 2013 and will be running again at the J. Boye conference in Århus, Denmark in November 2013.

Social media can impact the economy of an entire country. Costa Rica aims to use platforms like Facebook and Instagram to promote and sell its coffee internationally. However, accurately measuring social media's effects remains challenging. Building an online audience requires careful planning, creative content, and engagement with followers through comments and replies. It is also important to verify information from social media accounts to avoid spreading misinformation from fake or automated accounts. While attention on social platforms can drive economic gains, it also enables the spread of propaganda and false narratives that influence public opinion.
