Visual diary #7 | SIDEWALKLABS

Sidewalk Labs is a group within Alphabet that exists to solve a singular problem: to reimagine how cities can improve quality of life. Sidewalk Labs is a pilot program within Google that has partnered with the city of Toronto to explore new ideas around leveraging technology within cities. This group believes that technology has more to offer in terms of how we plan, structure, and build our cities. They are using this opportunity to test assumptions in an attempt to inspire and lead other cities around the world.

This isn't just a concept either. Sidewalk Labs will be designing a singular district in Toronto's Eastern Waterfront. Sidewalk Labs is exploring the following topics (and more!), as part of their search for the most human-centered city plan:

Sustainability. How can a cities infrastructure adapt to its surroundings and reuse energy to create a truly "climate-positive neighborhood."

People first. Parks and public areas should be more accessible, safe, and comfortable. Sidewalk Labs is investigating ways to leverage emerging technologies to ensure their model makes the best use of existing infrastructures.

Communities. Take a holistic approach to social services to ensure all people have what they need at an affordable price.

Digital transformation. Technology has come a long way since most of our cities were built. How can we leverage the tremendous progress we have made to address the mounting problems our cities are facing?

I think Alphabet is a design leader, utilizing this group to explore huge problems that will face future generations. They weren’t assigned or commissioned to take this on. They saw the problem and realized they had the potential to offer a solution. That responsibility and self-awareness are the traits of a design leader.

What is a Google Design Sprint and How it Works?

Philippe Antoine did a tempting job showing the Design Sprint methodology on Google booth at Vivatech last May. What is the Google Design Sprint approach? It’s a 5 days framework, merging Design Thinking with Lean Startup, to be in motion from a customer problem to a series of creative ideas, and a tested prototype. In further words, it helps answer serious business questions through user testing and rapid prototyping.

What’s a Google Design Sprint?

It was created by Google Ventures about 5 years ago, and the Design Sprint framework is a foundation of the understanding of Design Thinking. Design Sprint is a 5-day process for answering serious business questions through prototyping, design and testing ideas with customers and final users, basically, a method to solve design problems speedily.

The Design Sprint is operated by the Sprint Master who is responsible for the event, and also accountable of the team, leading them in the direction of a much higher level of satisfaction and of deliverables. The main goal of the Sprint Master is to spot the challenges the team must be solving and also invite the right aptitude for the Design Sprint.

How Google Design Sprint Works?

The Sprint Master starts identifying the problem and once the definition of the problem is revealed, the Spring Masterworks in 6 problem-solving ways to decide the challenge.

Six Problem Solving Ways

1. Understand:-

Understand to be understood. The initial part of the Sprint requires tempting the right people to split business goals, user need, and technology capability. The aim of this stage is to increase the understanding of the product/project.

Understand: The team plans out the problem to spotlight on, and joins under a shared brain; this phase involves lightning talks, which are 20 to 25-minutes sessions set by knowledge experts, as well as the “How might we” note-taking process, and likeness mapping; the team puts himself in the shoes of the user with empathy building exercises, consumer journey mapping, user interviews, and accomplishment metrics.

2. Diverge/Sketch:-

Anything is possible. Participants in the Design Sprint ought to discover every one of the possible solutions to the user problems. Sketch answers on paper: produce a broad range of ideas, and narrow down them to a decide on group; team members are provided space and time to come up with solutions on their own: they can gaze to comparable problems for inspiration, boost idea generation, take note share and choose, and slender down to one well-defined idea for each person, generating their own detailed Solution draft.

3. Decide:-

Time to evaluate all ideas and cast your vote for the best options as a team. Make your ideas into testable theory, and Decide as a team what to sample to answer your sprint questions, after the presentation of person solution sketch, the team will spot the assumptions it wants to test, vote, and pick a direction; a decision medium can help the team calculate ideas.

4. Prototype:-

Prototyping and checking without investing a bunch of money, time, or resources. Prototype only what you need to authorize your ideas in a very little time; hammers out a sensible prototype, a facade of the knowledge you have imagined in the sketch phase. Propose the barest minimum but working prototype, taking benefit for instance of an app that alters pictures of a storyboard hooked on clickable UI, imagine of your prototype as experimentation in order to test out the theory.

5. Validate:-

Lets the team learn several ways to create in a new form, but also hears each other’s points of view on their own designs. Test the prototype with an actual live human, and validate. The team lastly gets to observe live users interact with their ideas and listen to direct feedback from the target audience. Each one on the team observes the Validation sessions: inspecting your users try out the model is the best way to discover chief issues with your design, which in return lets you start iterating immediately. In addition, the team can put in order an evaluation to gather feedback from Leadership Stakeholders and Technical Experts.

Today we‘re talking about the journey of a founder and how it can be lonely at times.   Something that most founders and CEO‘s aren‘t thinking about is what happens once they do get funded. 

  This can be troubling or emotionally challenging in more ways that you realize.   The problem with this is that not being prepared for this can jeopardize your funding in a way that can have you lose or burn through all of it in a fraction of the amount of time that it took you to get it.  

The crazy part is that you‘ll be even worse off at this point than you were when you simply didn‘t have it.   

Today you‘ll learn about: 

-Why you need to get good at public speaking even if you‘re already funded 

-Why you need to ensure that you‘re the leader you need to be before you get funded 

-What you need to make certain you‘re doing now, before you get funded, so that you don‘t lose your funding once you do get it. 

Go to http://www.PublicSpeakingPros.net/Apply to book a call with me and determine how I can help you get funded, have less anxiety, speak with confidence or simply not feel so alone. 

Looking forward! -JB
