[NOTE: This is a partial preview. To download this presentation, visit: https://www.oeconsulting.com.sg/training-presentations] Warm-ups can stimulate creativity, boost group dynamics, bring about relaxation, or be used as an icebreaker to get to know one another. Warm-ups promote collaboration and strengthen a curious attitude. Warm-ups thus support the design thinking process, serves as an energizer, and improve problem-solving. In design thinking, we use warm-ups not only at the beginning of the workshop, but also after a break or when we realize that the group is no longer working efficiently. This can take place in any phase of the collaboration and have different goals. Benefits of doing warm-up: 1. Create a positive group atmosphere 2. Give workshop participants the chance to get to know one another 3. Remove social barriers 4. Reduce pressure to succeed 5. Activate and release positive energy 6. Distract the group a little bit so concentration is improved afterwards 7. Prepare the team for a certain mindset or way of working 8. Have fun and share a laugh This presentation includes four warm-up games: 1. Clapping Game 2. Walk / Stop Game 3. Numbers Game 4. Communication Game 5.

Almost all of us have this one common destructive daily habit, that is, to compare ourselves to others. We compare houses, jobs, phones, cars, relationships, money, social position and so on. What this habit does is, it creates negativity within us and this may also reflect in our behaviour. So what should we do? How can we get rid of this habit of comparing? If this is what you are now thinking, then the three tips given in this content will surely prove to be of help.

An end to end deep dive through the process of designing user experiences — especially for mobile and responsive web apps. The presentation covers the design process from defining and understanding the problem through iterative solution sprints where hypotheses are tested with lean prototypes. This talk was originally prepared for a three hour course on User Experience design for a group of start-ups working with an incubator for whom I serve as a mentor.

Users are not like us — they view the world with a completing different filter. As designers, we’ve trained ourselves to notice every little detail about a design — everything grabs our attention. We assume that users do the same when coming to a site or using an application for the first time. We assume that all those details that took us, as the designers, hours to figure out just right will catch a user’s eye and invoke pleasant thoughts and emotions that go along with facilitating a positive user experience. But, that’s not how our brains work. In fact, the average user will miss almost everything within their field of vision when working with a design for the first time. This phenomenon occurs all the time during usability studies, much to our bewilderment. Fortunately, recent research within neurological and cognitive science offers some clues to why this behavior occurs. This session will review several concepts that shows how little people actually pay attention to the things they interact with, and will provide some tips and tricks for getting past this mental limitation.

Crafting Great Accessible Experiences

Sally Shepard

What if agencies and marketers created products and services, not just ads? And what if they made these things for themselves, not just for clients? They do. But tackling these things isn't easy. {roduct design, creating new businesses or building complex real-world experiences requires a creative, technical, managerial and entrepreneurial spirit more associated with Silicon Valley than Madison Avenue. It demands new roles, agile approaches, external partnerships, technologies, investments and compensation models that can drive even the most hardened finance director crazy. And in some cases, it may even require a complete reboot from the ground up. The ability to make something that isn’t an “ad” is no longer optional in modern advertising. But it's certainly not easy, either. So what can we learn from the makers, technologists and agencies already playing in this space? Turns out, a whole heckuva lot.

More from William Evans

My experience and research has shown that design thinking empowers employees and teams, enabling them to create a more resilient, value-focused organizational culture. Innovation-driven growth at the organizational level requires a multidisciplinary approach to designing systems that create the right conditions for self-organizing teams to explore and create while maintaining system hygiene. To achieve that growth, leaders and managers must adopt a strategy for fostering new thinking, practices, and processes that convert strategy both laterally and vertically into new value. To foster the right kind of environment, you must manage the boundaries of the teams, establishing the right cadence and rituals to ensure trust and psychological safety. “Organizations that operate from the authoritarian, hierarchical, command and control model, where the top leaders control the work, information, decisions, and allocation of resources, produce employees that are less empowered, less creative, and less reductive.” – Journal of Strategic Studies, Creativity and Innovation: The Leadership Dynamics. In this talk, we’ll discuss boundaries, policies, cadence for self-organizing teams, then cover the key principles and practices of design thinking and how it can be leveraged by agile teams to collaboratively test new options and create new value. Design thinking all comes down to the collaboration utilizing divergence and convergence: acquire and synthesize insights, formulate hypotheses, prototype solutions, and ruthlessly test them with real customers. We’ll cover that with a case study of how an infrastructure engineering team transformed themselves from waterfall to agile, while learning the key practices of design thinking to reduce the lead time for delivering services and systems from 9 months to days, and in some cases, hours. The key aspects of Design Thinking we’ll cover: The importance of trust, boundaries, and candor for team dynamics; Customer-Centricity. Who are they? What are their challenges? What are their ‘jobs-to-be-done’? Empathy and Understanding to engaging with customers in their context; Validate through experimentation that the team is solving the right problem; Bringing the whole team together to collaboratively explore the problem space and engage in divergent and convergent exercises; Prototype lightweight solution hypotheses to ensure that the problems are solved before scaling out and investing in delivering the product or service to customers; When design thinking is appropriate, and when it’s a waste of time (when a user story is simple, simply do it!)
