I worked on #innovation projects for many companies for over 25 years and observed that people vary widely regarding their ability to handle #uncertainty and #ambiguity.
In this post, I cover techniques to build #EmotionalResilience as an individual and some #facilitation techniques to help #teams deal with uncertainty and ambiguity.

Let me show you how to use #JobsToBeDone (#JTBD) to facilitate the two-way #negotiations between #leadership and #ProductTeams that allows for managing by #outcomes.

Learn why influencing #decisions that shape #strategy begins with facilitating and incorporating #feedback to #designs to drive #ProductVision forward. We will also look at best practices for articulating #DesignDecisions and how to conduct #DesignCritiques.

In this post, I make the case that #JobsToBeDone work as a great โexchangeโ currency to facilitate #strategy discussions around #value between #designers, #BusinessStakeholders, and #technology people, sharing some lessons Iโve learned on how to use the methodology to engage the #stakeholders and influence #BusinessDecisions that drive #ProductVision forward.

In this post, I argue that โ while #Designers or #Strategists are not expected to fully manage #DesignProjects in their area of responsibility, some #ProjectManagement #skills will prove invaluable for their effectiveness.

In this post, I talk about the need for creating visibility and traceability systems to capture and track the progress of the execution of #ideas by comparing desired outcomes with actual outcomes so that you can adjust your #strategic choices accordingly.

Let's talk about how we can facilitate #pivot and #RiskMitigation discussions while pursuing #ideas, what #methods, #tools, or techniques are available, and what signals we need to capture to know if we should #Persevere, #Pivot, or #Stop.

Testing Business Ideas thoroughly is a way to mitigate the #risks of your #viability #hypothesis being wrong.
Let's discuss the importance of finding objective ways to explore and (preferably) test #BusinessIdeas early โ even before #designs โ to inform if they are worth pursuing (or not).

In this post, Iโll focus on how to help teams facilitate investment discussions by finding ways to remove (or at least reduce) subjectivity when we compare, contrast, or debate the value of #ideas, approaches, and #solutions to justify the investment on them.

In a previous post, I argued that #designers need #skills to become business-savvy #analysts and synthesizers if they want to influence #strategy, and I suggested four: #ThoughtLeadership, #facilitating #DecisionMaking, #ProjectManagement, and #StakeholderManagement.
In this post, I argue why Thought Leadership is critical for designers to become good #strategists who are better prepared to influence #BusinessDecisions.

In this post, I talk about the need for a set of #tools for #Quantifying and #Qualifying #strategy that both empowers #intuition and #creativity, but also helps #teams find objective ways to assess the #value of #ideas and #designsolutions to justify the investments in them.

The Objectives and Key Results (#OKRs) method have caught on across #startups, large #enterprises, and #NonProfits. If youโre considering adopting OKRs, you better know when and how its simplicity can be deceptive and what some common gotchas are.

What slows progress and wastes the most time on #projects is confusion about the goals or which things should come before which other things.
In this post, we will talk about how #prioritization can help us focus on what is important, steering us closer to our #vision and #goals.

The effectiveness of the #team in making #GoodDecisions depends on their ability to generate #alternatives.
Let's discuss how #designers and #strategists can become skilled #facilitators who help teams create choices.
