The document discusses different types of startups: Lifestyle startups focus on passion projects with small revenues. Small business startups aim to support a family with a known product. Scalable startups search for a business model to grow big with unknown customers/features. Buyable startups seek an exit through acquisition. The document also discusses sustaining/disruptive innovation at large companies and social entrepreneurship. It defines a startup as searching for a repeatable, scalable business model under uncertainty. The lean startup process is presented as a solution to validate learning through frequent experiments and customer feedback over rigid plans.
This list is more or less a curation of tips I've surfaced from my reading or research and from what I've observed from being around some incredible investors and successful entrepreneurs. Note, this advice is geared towards ideation through product-market fit level startups, but the life tips are universally applicable I would say.

This document outlines the five stages of executive hiring: 1) Planning, 2) Working with Candidates, 3) Referencing Process, 4) Compensation Offer, and 5) Offer. It provides tips for each stage, such as developing a prioritized hiring list, taking control of the candidate process, conducting a "mini board meeting" for candidates to present their strategy, doing a 360 degree reference check process, addressing compensation expectations, and making the final offer only when confident it will be accepted. The overall goal is to eliminate surprises after the new executive is hired.

What does the future look like? Is it a dark space where we’re suffering from varying degrees of techamphetamine or are we heading towards a Utopian fantasy of abundance and harmony?
Understanding that our basic human needs and wants barely change, we explore the future state of a range of topics; from our need for physical sustenance through to our age-long fascination of transcending the limitations of our biology.
Looking at the future from a human perspective, our potential for greatness is teetering on a fine line between darkness and hope. We’re banking on the latter.
The document discusses business model innovation through recognizing patterns in product, customer, and revenue innovation. It provides examples of companies that innovated their business models by changing their products, finding new customer segments, or altering their revenue streams. Some of the revenue model patterns discussed include freemium, subscriptions, pay per use, and multi-sided platforms. The document advocates that the best innovators are good at pattern recognition and encourages recognizing patterns to enable quickly pivoting business models through experimentation.
10 Insightful Quotes On Designing A Better Customer ExperienceYuan Wang
In an ever-changing landscape of one digital disruption after another, companies and organisations are looking for new ways to understand their target markets and engage them better. Increasingly they invest in user experience (UX) and customer experience design (CX) capabilities by working with a specialist UX agency or developing their own UX lab. Some UX practitioners are touting leaner and faster ways of developing customer-centric products and services, via methodologies such as guerilla research, rapid prototyping and Agile UX. Others seek innovation and fulfilment by spending more time in research, being more inclusive, and designing for social goods.
Experience is more than just an interface. It is a relationship, as well as a series of touch points between your brand and your customer. Here are our top 10 highlights and takeaways from the recent UX Australia conference to help you transform your customer experience design.

Pragmatic Product Strategy - Ways of thinking and doing that bring people tog...Jonny Schneider
Presented at XConf Tech Manchester in 2014 - Video at http://thght.works/1xdSvqK
This talk explores new ways of framing the work we do in order to create effective software products. A super-pragmatic model of thinking and doing that promises to bring together technologists, designers and business folks alike, across the entire software delivery lifecycle.
Design with IDEO: Designing Sustainable Human Centered Business ModelsPemo Theodore
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.
If you are like many people, even the thought of delivering a speech in front of an audience will get your palms sweating. The fear of public speaking ranks high among the most common phobias, and for good reason: most of us approach the situation with the wrong mindset, which in turn makes us live out our worst fears in a public forum.
As Michael Parker notes in IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY: How to Sell Your Message When It Matters Most (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale January 2016), our fixation on the content of our words – and not the presentation of ourselves – is what brings us down. Once the Vice-Chairman of London’s Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the world’s most experienced advertising pitch men, having made more than 1,000 pitches in his successful career, Parker has learned first-hand that an effective presentation, a job interview, or even a speech at a wedding hinges on our ability to portray ourselves as passionate, relatable, and collected. But, if we are focused on what we say, and not how we act, we will fail to persuade our audience.
Applied in the boardroom, at the pulpit, or even in conversation, these tenets will help you present better in any situation.
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.
Pitching Ideas: How to sell your ideas to othersJeroen van Geel
Learn how to convince others of your UX ideas by understanding them.
We are good in designing usable and engaging products and services. We understand the user's needs and have a toolkit with dozens of deliverables. But for some reason it remains difficult to sell an idea or concept to team members, managers or clients. After this session that problem will be solved!
Selling your ideas and convincing others is one of the most undervalued assets in our field. This ranges from convincing a colleague to use a certain design pattern to selling research to your boss and convincing a client to go for your concept. You can come up with the best ideas in the world, but if it is presented in the wrong way these ideas will die a lonely dead. This is sad, because everybody can learn how to bring a message across. The main thing is that you know what to pay attention to.
In this session I will take you on a journey through the world of presenting ideas. We will move through the heads of clients and your colleagues, learn what their thoughts and needs are. We will move to the core of your idea and into the world of psychology.

This is the updated version of my successful Interaction 14 talk: http://www.slideshare.net/folletto/the-shift-ux-designers-as-business-consultants
UX is a broad field and designers are increasingly playing a strategic role in many companies. Be that designer.
Businesses are increasingly adopting user-centered approaches to create experiences, moving UX design to be one of the core activities driving the company strategy and operations.
This is an incredibly valuable opportunity that we designers can take to step up and contribute to create the great experiences and services they envision, taking our vision, tools and understanding to a different level. But we need to learn the new skills to play at this table, a table that's often speaking a different language with a lot of politics and different stakeholders.

Leading Innovation and Change: Best Practice Case Study
Client - a company synonymous with the term innovation. Since its inception, the company founders have instilled a belief in unique product creation, including life altering product innovations such as the light bulb envelope, TV tube, and optical waveguides. This concept of innovation has been deemed one of the company's most essential quality programs, bridging functional groups within the organization, renewing itself through continued time and iterations. For the client, innovation not only challenges traditional ways to thinking, but has become a key impetus to drive change. Innovation converts ideas into opportunities.
The client began its journey with the realization that the rate of new product development would be insufficient to maintain company profitability in the future. In the late 1970's and early 1980's there was a cycle of small pockets of promising technological advances, defensive moves, and diminishing returns. Previously the company's innovation processes had been defined only within the areas of research, product development, and engineering. The client began by analyzing past innovations and the successes and failures associated with each, and benchmarking their own best practices and lessons learned.
The client has defined innovative effectiveness as: requiring an understanding of overall corporate and business strategies; developing organizational roadmaps based on customers, the market, competitors, strengths and weaknesses, and resources; ability to evaluate, prioritize, and select projects; and executing the selected project well. The key elements of innovation intervention are: an innovation task force, composed of key innovators; the utilization of company history as a resource for innovation; a focus on strengths and resources in a project of paramount importance, referred to as "flexible critical mass;" and a two-and-a-half-day innovation conference for 200 company leaders which focuses on reintrodu.
Leading Innovation and Change Best Practice Case Study Cl.docxcroysierkathey
Leading Innovation and Change: Best Practice Case Study
Client - a company synonymous with the term innovation. Since its inception, the company
founders have instilled a belief in unique product creation, including life altering product
innovations such as the light bulb envelope, TV tube, and optical waveguides. This concept of
innovation has been deemed one of the company's most essential quality programs, bridging
functional groups within the organization, renewing itself through continued time and iterations.
For the client, innovation not only challenges traditional ways to thinking, but has become a key
impetus to drive change. Innovation converts ideas into opportunities.
The client began its journey with the realization that the rate of new product development would
be insufficient to maintain company profitability in the future. In the late 1970's and early 1980's
there was a cycle of small pockets of promising technological advances, defensive moves, and
diminishing returns. Previously the company's innovation processes had been defined only within
the areas of research, product development, and engineering. The client began by analyzing past
innovations and the successes and failures associated with each, and benchmarking their own
best practices and lessons learned.
The client has defined innovative effectiveness as: requiring an understanding of overall
corporate and business strategies; developing organizational roadmaps based on customers, the
market, competitors, strengths and weaknesses, and resources; ability to evaluate, prioritize, and
select projects; and executing the selected project well. The key elements of innovation
intervention are: an innovation task force, composed of key innovators; the utilization of company
history as a resource for innovation; a focus on strengths and resources in a project of paramount
importance, referred to as "flexible critical mass;" and a two-and-a-half-day innovation conference
for 200 company leaders which focuses on reintroducing the innovation process.
Through the work conducted by the task force, not only were successes analyzed, but so were
areas in which the organization had fallen short over the years. By improving innovation by 10%
per year, costs could be cut in half, and doubling that rate would be equivocal to doubling the
RD&E spending level. This success would come down to the restoration of simple fundamentals:
- An environment and culture of energy and enthusiasm
- Entrepreneurial behavior at all levels
- The right people in the right places
- Sound business and technological strategies
- Improved processes for nurturing ideas
- Organizational mechanisms that could support the organization's drive for results.
Critical success factors also emerged from the client’s innovation conference, focusing on:
training programs at all levels within the company which would become a part of project reviews
and the deployment of empl ...

We have heard about “the global economy” and the impact on a global scale of decisions made centrally and “globalization” using global methods locally. Both of these terms use the word “global” in the sense of taking something from a central location or headquarters facility and rolling it out globally. But what about taking local best practices and leveraging them to customers and clients globally? In this workshop, we will look at how best practices can emerge locally but are often ignored in a global perspective due to their local origin. Many of these best practices are developed “below the radar” and work very well for a local market; however small changes or adaptations could make them of global significance. We will examine cases of local best practices and they were promoted to improve business performance globally. We will also look at things that can go wrong if this is not done correctly and finally, we will highlight ways that a company can discover and apply these practices.

The document discusses an "Innovation Battlefield" framework for analyzing the value perception of product features from the perspective of customers. It uses the example of 3M Post-it notes to illustrate how features can be ranked on the framework based on how much pleasure they bring customers and whether the features would be missed if removed. The framework identifies six zones that features can fall into, including "unexpected awesomeness," "harder, better, faster," "expected essentials," "I don't care," and "it hurts, take it away." The reusable glue of Post-its is given as an example of creating "unexpected awesomeness" when first introduced.
