Breaking down siloes - so please don't build new ones!

A topic I am interested in for quite some time now is how startups can use service design in their day-to-day work. I recently gave a talk on this topic during the Service Experience Conference 2016 in San Francisco. As some people asked me to share this talk, I decided to summarize all related links in this short post.

Marc Stickdorn: Service Design and Startups: This Lean Agile Design Thingything

I named my talk "Service Design and Startups: This Lean Agile Design Thingything" to share my perspective on the ongoing discussion in our community on what is the difference between service design, design thinking, ux, cx, agile, lean everything, etc.

I then present how we practice service design in our company More than Metrics (with our products Smaply, ExperienceFellow, and Mr.Thinkr) and some lessons learned from my work with other companies.

Kickstart Creativity in Your Team With This 1 Simple Brain Jolt

https://www.inc.com/linda-naiman/kickstart-creativity-in-your-team-with-this-1-simple-brain-jolt.html

Linda Naiman: Try this powerful technique when you are looking for innovative solutions.

Give your team a brain jolt to kickstart creativity, by asking them to question-storm 50 questions in 15 minutes about your topic. It's a jolt if people are not used to asking a lot of questions.

Why should you spend time question-storming? Peter Drucker renowned management guru, nailed it when he said, The most common source of management mistakes is not the failure to find the right answers. It is the failure to ask the right questions... Nothing is more dangerous in business than the right answer to the wrong question.

Are you asking the right questions? The secret to finding the right question that will lead you to the right answer is to ask a lot of questions, especially compelling ones. So be sure to spend time question-finding before you leap into solution-finding.

Try the Question Formulation Technique (QFT) from the Right Question Institute*
