What if your favourite apps turned into little machines? What makes physical objects more emotionally engaging than apps? How do we connect to them through our natural senses and cognitive abilities?
Together with 13 student we broke down some of our favourite apps to their elementals and re-imagined them as physical machines. We examined aspects of experience which can bring us closer to the services we use everyday.
How? With a few short hands-on exercises, we explored the jobs-to-be-done behind popular apps. Quick prototypes and scenarios of how these might exist as machines helped us to uncover what a new design field of the future looks like.

Product design for Non Designers - Montreal Digital Nomad MeetupSebastian Tory-Pratt
The basic principles of product design are very simple. And you don't need to be able to code to start building your product. This deck introduces some basic principles to help you start moving from idea to tangible product.
What do people use a service for? What problem are they trying to solve? This edition of Service Design Drinks introduced to a tool based on the increasingly popular jobs-to-be-done framework. It helps you to better understand problems with a fresh approach by examining contexts and describing desired outcomes.
This edition’s presenters Thomas Hütter, Hannes Jentsch and Martin Jordan are system and experience designers at HERE, a Nokia business. In the past year they reviewed the internal design processes and explored new tools that are worth sharing.
Jobs-to-be-done, a goal-driven solution frameworkClément Génin
The fast food chain wanted to increase milkshake sales. Initially they focused on improving the product but sales did not increase. They then focused on customers and market segments but still saw no results. Researchers realized people were buying milkshakes to alleviate boredom during their commute. Interviews found taste was unimportant; ease of consumption with one hand and portability were priorities. Installing a self-serve kiosk made purchasing more convenient for commuters and increased sales without changing the product. The document discusses how focusing on jobs-to-be-done, rather than products, customers, or segments, provides a framework for understanding user needs and developing effective solutions.
Getting started with Job to be Done researchFirmhouse
This document provides an overview of how understanding "Jobs to be Done" can help companies create real customer value and develop innovative products and services. It defines a Job to be Done as the progress a customer is trying to make in a given circumstance. Understanding the goals, actions, pains, and gains associated with different Jobs can help identify opportunities. The document outlines techniques for discovering Jobs through customer interviews, analyzing qualitative data to group common Jobs, and implementing Jobs-based insights through experimentation, identifying opportunities, shaping the customer experience, and adapting marketing. The key thinkers credited with developing the Jobs to be Done framework include Christensen, Blank, Ulwick, Klement, and others from jobstobedone.org.
This document summarizes a presentation on inclusive design given by Jess Mitchell at OCAD University in Toronto. The presentation aims to change the audience's perspective on inclusive design. Mitchell defines inclusive design as design that considers the full range of human diversity and involves recognizing diversity, using an inclusive process, and having a broader beneficial impact. Mitchell discusses three tenants of inclusive design: recognizing diversity and uniqueness, using an inclusive process and tools, and having a broader beneficial impact. The presentation provides examples of how an inclusive design process can be applied and encourages practicing inclusive design to solve problems in a more creative and affordable way.
How do branding and service design fit together? While one concept manages expectations, the other manages experiences. Combining both approaches allows creating brand experience for the benefit of customers as well as for companies. The concept of ‘Brand Services’ are “give-away services” that address relevant user needs and at the same time convey a brand message. In this talk and hands-on exercise, Christian Vatter shows how creating value for people and promoting business goes hand-in-hand.
Christian Vatter is user psychologist and brand consultant. He founded Rlevance Consulting, a human centered business consultancy with a specialty in creating meaningful brands and value-adding customer experiences. In his work he often combines service design with branding techniques to create sustainable bonds with customers. He wrote various articles on this topic and speaks at international conferences.
Designing Mobile Solutions for Social & Economic ContextsJonny Schneider
Technology should help solve problems for people, but all people (and their problems) are unique - there is no one size fits all. This is especially true of Mobile, where environments and user needs are much more diverse than in other computing platforms. For instance, building mobile applications for the widest reach in India requires thinking about feature phones, non-English interfaces, the 'language' of missed calls, low-bandwidth situations, cultural nuances and numerous other unique conditions.
Jonny Schneider and Nagarjun Kandukuru argue that the practice of design thinking helps mobile developers solve the most important problems in context-appropriate ways. They demonstrate how the best mobile applications lie at the intersection of technical feasibility, business viability and crucially, user delight.

The Customer Job To Be Done Canvas - PrototypeHelge Tennø
At an increasing rate (according to IBM C-Suite studies) companies are seeing that they need to figure out ways to put the customer at the center of their attention and decisions. But do businesses have the data or insight to put them there?
In the MIT Sloan Management Review article Finding The Right Product For Your Product Clayton M. Christensen, Scott D. Anthony, Gerald Berstell and Denise Nitterhouse discusses the idea of understanding what jobs customers are trying to solve and then figuring out the reason people are pulling the product into these jobs.
As many others I am currently prototyping a tool for this theory (Work-In-Progress) and my work so far can be seen and downloaded here.
I'm employing the same strategies towards my own business as I do with my clients, therefore the tool is still just a prototype being redesigned and redesigned again. But hopefully there are people out there interested in trying the tool out, give feedback and help on the way forward. This tool is not a parking lot for an idea - but a continuous, hopefully never-ending process.
When you're starting or running a company, how do you choose technology? The prevailing advice du jour is something along the lines of "use the best tool for the job." This is obviously right, but it is also devoid of meaning in an unfortunate way that lets people define "best" and "job" as myopically as they like.
From insight to idea, to implementation.
Design Thinking helps us create value-driven innovation.
Lean UX secures success through testing and iterations.
These key ingredients make up a winning combination.

Get More Traction for Your Product Using Jobs-To-Be-Donepascallaliberte
The Jobs-To-Be-Done theory (by Clayton Christensen of Harvard Business School) says this: people don’t buy your product, they hire your product for a job.
Understand the job, understand why people switch to your product, and marketing your product will be much less of a guessing game.

Episode 245: How Customer Experience Starts with AccessibilityWorkology
Sometimes the business case might get in the way of just doing the right thing. This happens a lot in my opinion when we are looking at accessibility and diversity and inclusion efforts. We often get caught up in the ROI of doing something instead of doing it because it’s the right thing. It’s not so much about the ROI as it is with being a good citizen of the universe and making your business and workplace accessible.
This episode of the Workology Podcast is part of our Future of Work series powered by PEAT, the Partnership on Employment & Accessible Technology. In honor of the 30th anniversary of the Americans with Disabilities Act this year, we’re investigating what the next 30 years will look like for people with disabilities at work, and the potential of emerging technologies to make workplaces more inclusive and accessible. Today, I’m joined by Ted Drake.
Important elements of this presentation are better covered in my later presentation titled "What Is Jobs-To-Be-Done?" I recommend that readers start with that.
Are you an innovator, entrepreneur or product manager? Do you want to understand what causes people to purchase, adopt and re-purchase products and services? This presentation gives you an introduction to Jobs-To-Be-Done—a theory of the market that seeks to answer these questions and more.
Input: User-centred Design / Global Service Jam Berlin 2011Martin Jordan
An input given by Anastasia Gramatchikova and Martin Jordan during Berlin’s Global Service Jam on March 11th at Fjord’s Berlin office. The presentation gave an introduction for the event’s participants into user-centered design methods, service design and design thinking tools.
To design effective user-focused services, we need to use data. We need to understand how people are using the service, what works for them and what doesn’t. There can be no service without data.
But as designers, we have to focus on user needs. That means we need to address users’ data needs as well as their service needs. We must design good services based on good data that don’t infringe on people’s privacy.
This means we have to look at questions like: what data is my service collecting? How and when is this data being used? Who has access to this data and who owns it? And how do we keep it secure?
As service designers working with data on a daily basis, we want to raise awareness of the value of data to services. And we want to discuss fundamental questions around what happens to that data.
This talk was held at Service Lab London on 19 October 2016 by Maria Izquierdo and Martin Jordan.
JTBD Meetup #8: Conducting Retrospective Jobs-To-Be-Done InterviewsMartin Jordan
What made people purchase a certain product or subscribe to a service? What made them abandon one offering and switch to another? By conducting retrospective interviews we can learn about the customers' decision-making processes leading to transactions by understanding their inherent contexts and causality.
At this 8th Jobs-to-be-Done meetup we conducted such an in-depth interview live. We learnt and practised together how the JTBD interviewing technique helps to uncover key moments that shaped the customer’s decision-making ahead of buying. By tracing the customer’s story back to her first thought about a new solution, we tried to understand how and most importantly why the customer decided to switch.
Zalando Tech’s innovation team was so kind to sponsor the meetup and host it at their terrific new place in Berlin-Mitte.

Capturing Contexts: A workshop with jobs-to-be-done tools / Service Experienc...Martin Jordan
Customers hire services and products to do a certain job. Once people spot a job in their life they start looking for a solution, an offering that helps them to get the job done. Which offering they eventually hire often depends on the circumstances in which the job occurs.
This workshop highlighted the importance of customers’ situations and contexts when creating new offerings. As circumstances are changing, people’s related needs and desired outcomes do too. Using the example of food-related services, the workshop at Service Experience Camp 2015 illustrated how all offerings fulfil the general need of feeding humans, but also which specific situations each service caters for.
The workshop was run by Andrej Balaz, Hannes Jentsch and Martin Jordan on November 14, 2015 at Service Experience Camp in Kalkscheune in Berlin-Mitte.
The document discusses staying human in emerging technology. It notes that the impact of bad design decisions can slow adoption of new technology. It emphasizes that you are not the user, your certainties are assumptions, and most of what you think you know is not useful. The answers discovered today will likely be wrong tomorrow. It recommends thinking negatively, knowing nothing, talking to humans, building something tangible, and testing everything.

Klara Lindner: How to scale energy services for the 2$-per-day societyService Experience Camp
Joseph Edward lives in a Tanzanian village with his wife and four kids. He works as a picky-driver, farmer, and trader. Until now, he had bought kerosene for lights and charged his phone in the village shop. He has been waiting for a utility connection for years. The document discusses Mobisol's efforts to provide affordable solar home systems to increase energy access and availability through monitoring and control using IoT technologies. Their goal is to impact 30,000 households by combining big and little data in a user-centric culture.
The document discusses the emerging role of social software tools within IBM to foster collaboration and innovation among employees. It outlines several categories of tools used internally, from established collaboration tools like email and instant messaging, to newer social tools gaining adoption like blogs, social bookmarking, and virtual worlds. The document also discusses IBM's Technology Adoption Program which exposes employees to new tools and technologies to enhance productivity and innovation.
Digital Storytelling- The Art of Interaction and Story discusses how smartphones have become the preferred way for new customers to find out about brands and events. It notes that with 78% smartphone penetration in the UK, people can begin interacting with brands from anywhere. The document discusses how brands should think of smartphones as distribution channels like TV and how there is value in user-generated content shared on social media. It also covers some of the side effects of social media use, like decreased ability to concentrate and remember information as people rely more on technology to provide answers.
Doing conventional innovation is no guarantee of success. New ways of innovating are starting with engineers and ending with business ideas, rather than starting with business people and ending with engineers. To innovate successfully, companies must ask the right questions, know where their market is, how big the opportunity is, where they currently are and where they want to be.

The document discusses the emerging role of social software within IBM and its use to foster collaboration and innovation. It outlines IBM's transition to more informal and open culture and describes various social tools and platforms adopted by employees, from internal instant messaging and blogs to experimental uses of metaverse environments and reputation systems. It highlights IBM's Technology Adoption Program for encouraging early adoption of new tools and sharing of internally developed solutions.
The document discusses the emerging "big picture" of Web 2.0 from various perspectives. It summarizes that Web 2.0 is a phenomenon, not a technology, and is defined by active user participation and involvement. Examples of Web 2.0 technologies and design patterns are provided, as well as characteristics like scale, participation, customization and a power shift to users being in control. The future of mashups and long tail learning are also briefly discussed.
This document provides an introduction to user experience design. It defines user experience as encompassing all aspects of a user's interaction with a company, service, or product. It describes the role of a user experience designer as involving user research, content creation, coding, user interface design, and competitive analysis. The document outlines techniques for user experience research like usability testing, guerrilla research, and competitive analysis. It discusses how to create personas and problem statements to understand users and design problems. Finally, it provides an activity using a persona and problem statement to demonstrate how to apply this knowledge to design decisions.

She will share her approach for validating hypotheses and tackling completely new customer problems never solved by the company before.
The Future Friendly Campus (Workshop Edition)Dave Olsen
Slides from my Future Friendly workshop at HighEdWeb Arkansas. Discusses why mobile is important, why we should pursue future friendly solutions and lays out a strategy for making your institution or organization future friendly.
Alexandra Deschamps-Sonsino discusses the practicalities, politics, and ethics of obtaining data through internet of things devices. There are three layers to obtaining data: embedding computers onto things, connecting things to networks, and managing data collection. Challenges include choosing how much to embed computers, ensuring reliable connectivity, and determining how to capture and analyze data. Data use also involves political considerations like whether an organization functions as a tech company. Ethical issues involve workplace impacts, environmental impacts, and responsible data management practices.
The presentation was showcased at IMWorld 2015, Bucharest, Romania. It's about how the world we live into is a product of our imagination, imagination that also shapes our future - the internet of things. We will live in a world of interconnected devices, an entire ecosystem ready to offer the ultimate personalised experience for each individual. See more on how this influences our future.
Novice entrepreneurs who start the lean startup process with a "plausible" idea that doesn't fit with their team run the risk of failure in the validation process. While this isn't the end of the world since they'd have managed to avoid a failed launch, this situation can be avoided by starting with a problem worth solving!
Role Of Programmer On Telecom IndustryDivya Watson
This document discusses the role of a programmer in the telecom industry. It outlines the process of brainstorming, planning, taking action, observing, and reflecting on issues faced by Java programmers. The author plans to conduct interviews with 5 programmers over 3 days to gather perspectives on identified issues and brainstorm solutions. The session will be led in the morning to accommodate schedules. Data will be compiled afterwards to embrace the brainstorming process successfully and gather applicable viewpoints.
Social media and mobile devices have combined to help create the always-with-us, always-on, always-connected campus. Not just student-to-student but, importantly, institution/faculty/staff-to-student as well as staff-to-staff. We need to look beyond the silo-ed, one-way web sites of the past towards more personal, two-way applications that take advantage of this sea change on campus. The ways in which our users will want to interact with us, the types of tasks they’ll want to complete, and the types of devices we’ll want to deliver to will just continue to proliferate.
Now is the time to reevaluate.
Using lessons learned at a large land-grant institution we’ll look at what the future friendly campus might look like, ways to plant the seed of that change and tips on how to accomplish it.
This presentation was given at the 2012 .eduGuru Summit on April 11, 2012.

Session description:
The cultural heritage sector plays an important role in our society, primarily because it has the responsibility to collect and preserve both artifacts and knowledge from the past in order to share them in the present and maintain them for the benefit of future generations.
Nearly all cultural heritage organizations operate as nonprofits, with specific mandates and very tight budgets. With those constraints in place, the sector must still find a way to compete for the same customers as all other consumer-oriented businesses - in that light, leveraging digital content offers a strong potential path to success.
In order to attract and engage 21st century audiences and contributors, cultural heritage organizations have become digital publishers, creating and providing access to meaningful content on a scale that was never anticipated. While most have become adept at producing digital content, the sector has been playing catch up when it comes to organizing, cataloging and sharing that content.
This session will look at how cultural organizations can achieve mission-focused success and competitive advantage by adopting best practices in digital asset management and digital curation. In addition, we will examine the formal responsibility and challenge for nonprofit/cultural heritage organizations to ensure long-term preservation and provide access to digital assets in perpetuity.

Often, because people are so focused on
the who and how, they totally miss the why.
When you start to understand the why,
your mind is then open to think of creative
and original ways to solve the problem.

Those digital updates have little sympathy
for any divisions of time or space we might
to impose upon our days. We may find
that we are ranking the ‘needs’ of our
