Shadowing | Design Research Techniques Authour:Jen Recknagel Edited by Christine Keene Problem Contextualized information about how, when and why people act is needed to generate understanding of human need and to develop meaningful insights for innovation. Traditional observation and diary studies do not provide the same depth of contextual information or detail about purpose that is achieved through the shadowing method. Solution Shadowing provides a rich, comprehensive data set about the patterns of actions, interdependence and motivations of users. Background Shadowing originated out of 1950’s Management Studies and Henry Minzberg’s 1970’s iterations on structured observation. Use When This methodology is used when exploring a research domain to gain a rich understanding of user/customer/employee motivation and to capture what people do and not what they say they do. Use For Process 1) Domain and Demographics – Locate the right venue to research and the appropriate person(s) within that venue to follow. Gilliat-Ray, S. (2011).
Nook Color The Nook Color is a tablet computer/e-reader that was marketed by Barnes & Noble.

Il s'agit des facteurs : Variables supplémentaires[modifier | modifier le code] L'analyse PESTEL a été agrémentée avec le temps de nouvelles variables. Démographiques : l'âge, le genre, l'utilisation du langage, le handicap, etc[4].Régulatoires : les lois et les règlements édictés par la puissance publique, les standards internationaux, etc[5]. Variables clés et pivots[modifier | modifier le code] L'analyse PESTEL constitue généralement la première étape d'une analyse stratégique au niveau d'un domaine d'activité stratégique. Le croisement des évolutions possibles des variables clés pivots permet de définir des scénarios d'évolution du marché. Notes et références[modifier | modifier le code] ↑ (en) Babette E.

What is UX? - About UX - User Experience - UX Design The origins and meaning of “User Experience / UX Design” may seem a bit murky at first glance, to many not already familiar with it. One early use of it, without “user” prefixed, appeared in the nascent “Advance for Design” meetings organized by Clement Mok et al, under AIGA sponsorship, between 1998 and 2000. Mention is made, too, in the first post to uxmatters.com, of Don Norman using the term at Apple as early as 1993. Though implying a Gestalt approach to interactive media design, that is, using a collection of elements to form a pattern which is greater than the sum of its parts, UX Design also puts special emphasis on the human side of human-computer interaction, and its affective results, rather than on the mere usability—the human performance aspect—of computer interface design, which traditionally relates to the field of ergonomics. Another dimension of UX Design, as it related to the field of web design, is the historical one. share
Affinity diagram | LXD What is it? The Affinity Diagram is an interactive data collection method, which enables the identification and sorting of large quantities of ideas within a short time frame. Affinity means likeness or close relationship. The Affinity is used when a non-judgemental process is required for gathering and categorising ideas. What aspects of learning are being supported?

Innovations numériques et institutions culturelles From School to Startup: Bain’s StartUp Academy Matches College Students With Portfolio Companies Mitt Romney is growing his own. Well, sort of. His old firm, Bain Capital, is taking on the problem of hiring talented tech workers by training them itself. Bain’s StartUp Academy, launched by the company’s VC arm Bain Capital Ventures, recruits students from top universities and plants them in positions at the tech companies it funds. StartUp Academy’s current class consists of 21 students culled from 779 applicants from schools like Duke, Harvard, MIT, Princeton, Stanford and USC. StartUp Academy is the brainchild of Ajay Agarwal, managing director at Bain Capital Ventures. Missionary Zeal While the strategy worked for Trilogy, Agarwal notes that for most startups, serious college recruiting is cost-prohibitive. “So we said, why don’t we run the program? The recruitment process is intense, almost missionary in its zeal. Ideally, Agarwal says, StartUp Academy graduates will help recruit future classes and “become evangelists for the program.” A Window Into Smaller Schools
Backcasting | Design Research Techniques Authours: Karl Schroeder & Robert Tilley Edited by Christine Keene Problem Goal-oriented foresight methodologies may declare targets that lie quite far in the future. For example: Reduction of global greenhouse gas emissions to 1990 levels by 2050Put astronauts on Mars by 2030 There is a disconnect between such long-range targets and immediate policy and business planning. Solution In backcasting, foresight participants propose a future event or situation and then work backward to construct a plausible causal chain leading from here to there. Use When This technique is used during problem framing. Use For Projecting a transformative societal change that challenges existing assumptions for problems of significant complexity with a long enough time horizon to allow for making determined choices is the key role of backcasting. Process 1) Domain and Demographics – First, the team needs to clarify the issues of the current state and identify which areas are to be targeted. Variations

Innovation: Think big, start small, scale fast! A key innovation message that I spend time with my clients focusing upon involves the concept of “thinking big, starting small, and scaling fast.” (With all due respect, the thought process comes from a customer-service oriented strategy at McDonald’s many years ago, but it is easily extended to encompass innovation in general.) What does the message imply: think big: identify the long term transformative trends that will impact you. It sounds simple, but its’ extraordinarily complex. How might a company use such thinking? Leave a comment : let me know what you think, suggest or ideas where you’ve seen the concept work! Citizen Juries: An Action Research Method | Design Research Techniques Authour: Hilary Best Edited by Christine Keene Problem In a democratic society, it is widely recognized that the best solutions are those that are embraced by the population. Consequently, public consultation has played a central role in public decision-making (Wiklund and Viklund, 2010). In Canada, a consultation process is a key component of many policy-making activities, and is reflected as a legislative requirement in matters such as urban planning, natural resource extraction, environmental assessments and more. Solution Citizen juries are one answer to this need. Citizen juries were first developed in 1974 by the Jefferson Center for New Democratic Processes (Crosby and Hottinger, 2011). As a research method, citizen juries are grounded in an interpretive, interventionist and participatory philosophy that empowers citizen participants to be co-creators in developing solutions to complex issues.
