    a reason to get involved with personas... And, another way to screw it up. The customer buying cycle is the ... yes, THE most important attribute of their persona in relationship with you and your site. Who cares if they are 34 years old or rides a scooter - you are about if they are ready to convert.

Innovation Is About Arguing, Not Brainstorming. Here's How To Argue Productively | Co.D... - 0 views

  • Science shows that brainstorms can activate a neurological fear of rejection and that groups are not necessarily more creative than individuals. Brainstorming can actually be detrimental to good ideas.
  • We need to work both collaboratively and individually
  • We also need a healthy amount of heated discussion, even arguing.
  • ...6 more annotations...
  • There is no hierarchy. It’s not debate because there are no opposing sides trying to “win.”

      Perhaps I'm not understanding the term 'argue'. Can't you 'win' an argument? Aren't there two sides, at least, to every argument? And, there is no hierarchy? Really? It seems there is always an order of dominance in an social structure. Boss / employee, Client / designer... there is always a power differential which must be accounted for. And, generally, it's up to the powerful to account for the weaker.
  • without fear.

      What your boss did that day was the equivalent of a dog humping another. He established dominance. He told you what to do. He humped you,man. He did establish the tone. Which is great and it appearantly worked. However, he didn't waive his doggy lipstick and make the power structure go away.
  • And that “because” should be grounded in real people other than ourselves.

      "Yes, AND" vs "No, BECAUSE" ... sounds like this could get personal real quick. I think what you are saying about the grounded in 'real people other than ourselves' is that you want reasons based in facts and not opinions. However, does the ethnographic research yield facts or opinion? It seems that it could be simply doubling up the opinion - As in " Here is my opinion about these other opinions (about dancing chinese villagers)" However, I do thing we everyone agrees on the results of the user research, then you CAN argue about your conclusions based on those premises without getting personal. I do think that works. And, I have seen it work.
  • we each bring different ways of looking at the world and solving problems to the table.

      Respecting and cultivating diversity in groups is key to high performance. It seems a bit utopian. But, it's something I believe. did anyone roll their eyes when you brought up the idea of the text analysis tool? How long did it take? Did they really 'get it' or was it something other simply tolerated? Even for the most well adjusted and balance T shaped person, it can be difficult to go along with anothers specialty, I'd imagine.
  • a shared goal. We develop a statement of purpose at the outset of each project and post it on the door of our project room.

      Rules, playing field, 'ball down the field'... these are all sports / war analogies. I guess the idea is "Same team". But, who is the bad guy... the guy who doesn't see it the way you do. Or, doesn't listen to reason. I don't think simply 'having a common goal' is sufficent to keep from hurting each other in meetings. If budgets and jobs are on the line, it won't be that playful.
  • But we don’t brainstorm. We deliberate.

      I like that word, deliberate. It means intentionally. I suppose ' to deliberate' is to think intentionally, which is what I consider brainstorming to be. Granted brainstorming has a stigma - its light and permissive, unfocused and not serious, a waste of time. The points you bring up about 'Deliberative discourse' are helpful. It's like putting brainstorming through boot camp - to help brainstorming produce results, without hurting anyone or shutting anyone down. All in all a thought provoking post - thanks!

    More on Arguing and design meetings. Could Brainstorming be bad? counter-productive and fear inducing? ... hmmm.

The de Bono Group - Six Thinking Hats - 0 views

    "Six Thinking Hats® is a simple, effective parallel thinking process that helps people be more productive, focused, and mindfully involved. And once learned, the tools can be applied immediately! You and your team members can learn how to separate thinking into six clear functions and roles. Each thinking role is identified with a colored symbolic "thinking hat." By mentally wearing and switching "hats," you can easily focus or redirect thoughts, the conversation, or the meeting. "
  • Newman Lanier on 23 Mar 12
     
    I've been meaning to get this in the group. Edward de Bono not only has a kick ass name, he may have a solution to our 'Design meetings suck' problem. Our problem is easy to define: Too much pressure is but on the designer. They become either aggressive or passive aggressive. The solution is obvious. Someone needs to 'step-up' (not man-up, you gender bias asshole) and 'set the tone' of the meeting and relationship. Easier said than done. But, along comes de Bono. His 6 hats, parallel thinking process does exactly that - it sets a tone and create enough structure to the sessions. It nurtures the productive and chokes the counter-productive. Of course, I've never tried it. I think hats are for keeping the sun out of your eyes. Otherwise, they are stoopid. But, I'm willing to try these.
