You Design Think More Than You Know Today's world is very volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous. What used to work, seems to work less efficient or effective. The pandemic shows us that the consequences in daily life can be huge. For some of us, this means confusion and struggle to find solutions to problems. Others reflect on what is happening and reframe this VUCA world as an opportunity for creating new products, services of systems. Start to think as a designer. Designing solutions serves users and customers. Real human beings with names, moods, needs and problems. We sometimes forget, because while creating solutions we fall in love with them. Our attention focuses on the solution. Design thinking has made empathizing with the customer one of the main anchor points. You always remember for whom you are designing and creating. How many ideas would you need to find the one that fits the problem of your user? Ten, a hundred or maybe more? The answer is, more than you think now. Start with questioning the problem. Play and collect different perspectives on the problem. Every single perspective leads to different ideas. In this way you easily reach a great number of solutions. We will share a few relevant, creative exercises so you can challenge your own dominant reaction to solving problems. Having this personal experience will help you to adopt a design thinking mindset to help your clients. What You Will Learn: Introduction to Design Thinking Two Exercises to change your perspectives on problems and solutions Reflection on one's own thinking system How to reframe constraints as valuable opportunities to find creative solutions

Managing Successful Machine Learning Projects Machine learning projects are a different beast. You have to secure access to the required data, often from multiple siloed sources. You have to switch back and forth between research mode and execution mode. You have to delicately guide data exploration towards a well-defined machine learning objective. You have to align this machine learning objective with your business objectives. You have to ensure that any sensitive data is adequately protected. How do you tame this beast and lead your project to successful completion? In this presentation, Dr. Neeraj Kashyap will share some practical tips for succeeding at machine learning, gained from his years at Google and in healthcare. We will discuss the life cycles of healthy machine learning projects and unhealthy ones so that you can identify impending disasters and avert them before they get out of hand. Throughout the session, we will emphasize data privacy, because no amount of intelligence is worth compromising your users for.
