 A new episode is out, and today we feature Dawn Ahukanna (@dawnahukanna). She is challenged with the heuristic “Your solution should not be more complicated than the problem” from the Xebia Essentials repository (https://essentials.xebia.com/kiss/). We discuss what solution vs problem space needs, and how different disciplines complement each other in order to deliver value. Dawn shares with us what are the heuristics that allow people with different perspectives to cross their paths to solve a complex problem. Dawn recommends the following resources: As-is scenario mapping (https://www.ibm.com/design/thinking/page/toolkit/activity/as-is-scenario-map) To-be scenario mapping (https://www.ibm.com/design/thinking/page/toolkit/activity/to-be-scenario-map)  Service Blueprint (Sequence diagram for people and interactions) (https://www.nngroup.com/articles/service-blueprints-definition/) Cynefin framework (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cynefin_framework) Wardley maps (https://medium.com/wardleymaps) Dawn Ahukanna (@dawnahukanna) is a Design Principal at IBM Design. She's always been curious about how "things" work, taking things apart and trying, failing, learning, trying again, failing, trying again and finally putting them back to together. Sometimes, making completely new things in the what should have been a re-assembly process. She started her career as a Chemical Engineer, taking things apart at the atomic level and figuring out how they worked. Then simulating and emulating abstract models by developing and programming software. Finally progressing to figuring out how people work, without taking them apart or simulating, as a Design Principal and Front-End Architect. Her mission: To design, develop and deliver digital user experiences that hopefully delight, definitely enables or at least don't frustrate, the clients and users.  

Though Phil Gilbert’s official job title is General Manager of Design at IBM, he’s more often referred to as IBM’s very own design evangelist. But ask him to describe his earliest creative impulses and he’ll tell you without hesitation that he was an entrepreneur from “day one.” It quickly became clear that Phil is all these things and more after spending the day with him at IBM’s colorful, post-it-strewn design studio in Austin. In other words, to use a tech-speak term of art: Phil is a unicorn.  Need proof?  Look no further than his decision to embed design thinking at scale across a company that spans 387,000 employees and 170 countries. Fast Company recently praised Gilbert’s accomplishment at IBM as “establishing a modern standard for increasing the role of arts in business.”  Under Phil’s leadership, the legacy computer brand has resurrected and expanded its venerable design program and transformed itself into a nimble, forward-thinking company employing a fleet of designers, charged with applying their problem-solving skills to innovative software and B2B infrastructure initiatives, like quantum computing and state of the art digital security. To wit, ArtCenter alum Tina Zeng, a design researcher on IBM’s security team, offers an insider’s perspective on how design is being deployed on a day to day basis under Phil’s leadership. Over the course of a lively Change Lab conversation (conducted in IBM’s employee programmed radio station) Phil opened up about his appreciation for the school busing program in Oklahoma City that first exposed him to the value in a diverse learning environment, his evolution as a leader and the importance of seeing every day as a prototype that can be improved upon.  Related links: https://www.ibm.com/design/ http://www.tinalzeng.com/ https://www.ibm.com/ibm/history/ibm100/us/en/icons/gooddesign/

With more and more technology being added to cars, automakers can no longer design vehicles that delight customers, they now have to design vehicles that build trust. Input is needed from many different disciplines, so design can encompass a customer’s entire experience. On Autoline This Week, John McElroy is joined by three design experts who explain why “designers have to become stewards of morality.”

Deanna Shaw, Director of Design for the Internet of Things at IBM Watson IoT, and Roxy Stimpson, Vice President and CTO at IoT World labs share their experience developing IoT solutions. In this episode, we discuss how to best manage the cooperative efforts of design, engineering, and product management teams.   Building IoT products can be very complex, in part because we have a lot more moving parts, ranging from hardware, and device software, all the way to cloud applications. Having more pieces in the puzzle means more teams need to get involved throughout the development lifecycle. Having strong partnerships with all departments involved can be the difference between success and failure in this era of the connected device. Roxy and Deanna are IoT Executives leading Engineering and Design departments for their companies and our discussion revolves around what other departments expect from the Product Management team and how we can partner together with them to build the best possible IoT product for our customers.   Topics we discuss in this episode: Deanna shares her background and about IBM Watson. Roxy shares her background and about IoT World Labs. What other departments expect from the PM team. How to partner to build the best possible IoT products for customers. What makes a good partnership between design, engineering, and PM teams. Deanna and Roxy share their advice for people who are new to working on IoT Products.   More about Deanna and Roxy: Deanna on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannamshaw/ On Twitter @DeannaMShaw - https://twitter.com/deannamshaw?lang=en IBM Watson IoT - https://www.ibm.com/internet-of-things IBM Design - https://www.ibm.com/design/ Roxy on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/roxyvuong/ On Twitter @RoxyStimpson - https://twitter.com/RoxyStimpson?lang=en IoTWorldLabs - http://www.iotworldlabs.com/    

How do you scale design beyond a single team, beyond a single department and even beyond a single country? Doug Powell is tasked at IBM to do just that! We also talk about the impact designers have on the big social challenges in the world. Or rather the lack of impact and what we can do about that. Finally we touch upon what I like to call "new design material". It's technologies like AI, VR and IoT. What do these new design materials mean for us? Three topics that are truly the new frontiers of service design! ---------------------------------------- EPISODE GUIDE 02:15 - The first encounter with Service Design. 05:23 - How can we scale the practice of design at a global level? 13:34 - How much impact can designers have on the biggest and most complex problems of the world? 21:30 - Why do we need to be designing differently for emerging technologies? 28:58 - Big question: What is the thing that is preventing you from doing your very best work as a designer? ---------------------------------------- LINKS FROM THE EPISODE * Doug on LinkedIn ➜ https://go.servicedesignshow.com/2lf3r * IBM Design ➜ https://go.servicedesignshow.com/_0vt2 MORE EPISODES Enjoyed the show?

IBM is on a mission to create a sustainable culture of design and to bring a human-centered focus to its thousands of products and services. Since 2013, the company has hired over 1,100 designers to work alongside engineers and business leaders across the company. In this multidisciplinary setting, how does the Lean Startup approach interplay with design thinking? How can teams bridge the gap between user experience insights and real business opportunities? Phil Gilbert, General Manager of IBM Design, will discuss how IBM’s approach to continuous innovation at a global scale is transforming the way the company works.

This week we had the honor to speak with Phil Gilbert, General Manager of IBM Design, where he leads strategy and transformation of product design at IBM. He came aboard IBM in 2010 when his company Lombardi Software was acquired. In addition to leading three successful start-ups, he is a respected thought leader who regularly shares his expertise on topics of portfolio and software design, design governance, strategy and culture with clients and organizations around the world. This wide ranging conversation touched on his career path, his philosophy of design, the incredible heritage of design at IBM and of course a deep dive into IBM's innovative Design Thinking process and framework---and much more. Enjoy! Please send any questions or suggestions to ask@experienceperception.com

In this episode, designers and developers from IBM detail the process they use to help businesses identify the right opportunity for mobile apps, and design a great user experience. They're joined by Amica Mutual Insurance Company to hear their experience going through the design process.
