Being Design-LED & Product FED
By: Dean Meyers
In a Design-Led business, the Customer’s interests and needs comes first. But in order to move swiftly from discovering customer needs through producing a feature to be tested and marketable, everyone needs to agree that this is both worth the technical debt and has value that can be measured. Getting the business groups to talk to the design and development groups in a common language is often where innovation hits a bottleneck.
This webinar is directed for anyone on either side of the table to find a way to meet and agree on how to define a KPI (key performance indicator), starting as early as in the UX/Design phase, with practical ideas on how to come to agreement on what is of value to a Design-Led business that uses Design Thinking to guide their culture and their work.
Business Design: For The People By The People
By: Rafael Daron
Design is a term that can be applied in many contexts. In this conversation, we will understand a little about the applicability of “design as a process”, which aims to understand people and their contexts of use to create or improve business models. Any idea can turn into a good business, in this conversation we will take a few steps back to better understand the context of the problem and the people involved, and only after moving on to co-create business solutions and validate them in the real market.At Tog Design we also care about interactions that happen offline, and that many technology solutions forget to consider them. These interactions are crucial to the success of many businesses. In this webinar, you will learn design as a process through use cases with real projects, co-creating the user experience as well as business sustainability.
Marketing Your Products For Success!
By: Dan Levy
This webinar is targeted at business owners, startups, and entrepreneurs. During raising, funding and build we often forget that this is when we have the most control over all of the pieces. Sure raising, getting the thing built is tough, in fact, let’s be honest, it can be horrible.
However, the rubber really hits the road once you ship. Then a whole new set of variables are introduced; customers, channels, marketing, and competition. Good strategy is all about being smart. It is not just what you do, but also what you don’t do that will ensure success. As a startup, you don’t have infinite resources. You can’t do everything for everyone, you need to batten down the hatches and focus on those metrics that matter, as well as your initial mission of making the world a better place.

Improving Competitiveness Through Narrative
– Based Design Thinking
By: Justin Daab & Christy Hutchinson
The most successful brands focus on users — not buyers. But how can established organizations shift their cultural mindset to from “what we sell” to “how we help”? What practices or processes can help employees at every level of the organization truly empathize with, and respond to, the challenges customers face? And, more importantly, how can organizations leverage that empathy and insight to improve decision making, unlock new business opportunities, and create more compelling and competitive customer experiences that bring those opportunities to life?

Design Thinking Design Futures
By: Dr. Girish Prabhu & Sudhir Desai
Both Design Thinking and Futures Thinking try to understand uncertainties, though with differing line of vision. Future studies are oriented to macro scale (3-15 years) that occur in advance of actual outcomes, whereas Design Thinking is seen as developing products and services for today (1-3 years). Combining these two approaches and using common tools such as scenarios, trends analysis, mind maps and stories, the end point of design futures is to develop and implement futures scenarios from a designers’ point of view. This not only allows us to answer the question of how the world will be if this scenario happens and why is this scenario relevant, but also how can we implement this vision.
Design Thinking – Accelerating
Ideation Using Innovation
By: David P. Isaac
One of the critical phases in Design Thinking is the Develop phase which focuses on generating new ideas, sketching and storyboarding the same to test and validate the prototype. During the third stage of the Design Thinking process, designers are ready to start generating ideas. You’ve understood your users and their needs in the Empathize stage, and you’ve analyzed and synthesized your observations in the Define stage, and ended up with a human-centered problem statement. With this solid background yourself and your team members can start to ‘think outside the box’ to identify new solutions to the problem statement you’ve created, and you can start to look for alternative ways of viewing the problem.
