Although I was attending as a sponsor/exhibitor for Indigo Studio, I did manage to break away to go to the “There’s more than one way to skin a cat: Integrating UX into an Agile environment” session. As sometime director of Design at Infragistics, I personally have had first hand experience trying to integrate UX into an existing, established Agile engineering process with large-ish teams.

While most of the client work that Strategos does is aimed at business model innovation, in recent years we have developed a principle-based approach to Management Innovation (see Mercy Salaz’s blog, Scope Creep ) and used this approach on several internal processes and practices such as product development.

It turned out compelling to me, given the inherent conditions a large company operates in, that decoupling explorative innovation (such as the development of new-to-the-company technologies and/or business models) from innovating the existing core business is mandatory for an organization in order to establish a balanced and sustainable innovation capability. This requires risk taking, of course, since no one can foresee the outcome or results of such initiatives. MORE

Can we rank them and decide which ones need more development? For example, one of the biggest idea killers is the inability for many companies to take really good ideas and get them prioritized in the existing product development process. MORE
In this case, plan how to communicate and launch the change permanently to production. The creation of a new optimization test may follow a process that is similar to your overall product development lifecycle.

The efficient, effective environment isn't a good development platform for new thinking and new ideas. Your existing product or service development programs are likely overworked and will reject ideas or solutions that require new capabilities. Of course there are other ways to get ideas, primarily from third parties or by acquiring intellectual property, and those are right for some situations and conditions, but this option is relevant only part of the time.

*This post originally appeared on Mind the Product.

And in practice, we combine three important ideas: design thinking, Lean Startup, and agile methodology. Applying these principles or methodologies throughout an enterprise helps mitigate the risk of producing products or services no one wants , and allows the allocation of capital and resources to ideas that create value. When designing something, (ie: a technology, a product, a marketing material…) it is paramount to keep the needs of the end user in mind. MORE
Larger organizations lack the freedom and agility that smaller organizations have. Yet on the other hand they are expected to grow revenues, differentiate and create valuable new products and services. Further, even if the organization gets better at generating ideas, they haven't resolved how to commercialize good ideas quickly, due to long decision making and product development processes. Can the ideas or concepts they generate enter the product development process? MORE
We work with clients to materialize their Design Thinking processes like we did with our customers at SAP , achieve their Agile product development and research operations, and implement business viability assessments based on COSTAR or Business Model Canvas.

Innovation has gone from being islands of knowledge, developing new products and services exclusive to that one company, then quickly copied by the competitors, into something radically different. There are significant shifts underway towards digital innovation in R&D and new-product development. Of course, this shift requires really big changes in strategy, operations, the organization and in each individuals orientation. MORE
One of the riskiest assumptions for any new product or feature is that customers actually want it. Although product leaders can propose numerous ‘lean’ methodologies to experiment inexpensively with new concepts before fully engineering them, anything short of launching a product or feature and monitoring its performance over time in the market is, by definition, not 100% accurate. Product teams need to combine the detection of an effect (i.e., MORE

Regardless of the project’s scope or your company’s size, product development requires client feedback. This applies both to external customers who are buying from your company or other teams within your organization that have requested the product. Without involving these stakeholders in the project, the design and development teams will inevitably double their workload when the prototypes — or worst-case, the finished products — are returned for adjustments.

This process might require a deeper understanding of the context of the data, and, of course, an ability to link it to a business value proposition.
