This book is intended for everybody who is interested in starting and/or pursuing a career as Design Thinking moderator. This book captures knowledge from hundreds of workshops delivered by two moderators who don’t only live on the opposite side of the world (Bernard - Australia / Sean - Austria) but also build their Design Thinking profession on very different foundations. Bernard Shockman is a self employee design thinker in lives in Australia. Sean Mc Guire from Austria works as UX Architect for Microsoft one of the larges tech companies in the world. This book was carefully crafted to capture those two very different views (self-employee / corporate world) and needs when heading for a career in Design Thinking but the one thing that’s common is the Billboard Design Thinking approach both moderators apply successfully for several hundred customer projects all over the world. No matter if you are a proficient moderator or you are new in this domain you will find valuable insights and a complete method including templates, checklists and real case studies to let you explore and understand the Billboard Design Thinking approach. There is no prior knowledge required if you want to start your moderator career! You will find every detailed explained on 523 pages with hundreds of illustration and images from workshops and .If there is one thing we are really keen on than it’s “You beeing successful” as a Design Thinking moderator! You will rarely find a book where moderators will share all their knowledge especially because most moderators think they need to carefully hide and protect their secret success formula. This might let you wonder why would we be keen on sharing our knowledge with you a potential competitor on the job market?And the answer is super simple: there are millions of projects failing all over the world every year. Even if 100.000 moderators take our knowledge and enter the job marked there will still be a huge amount of work for everybody to do. The reality is that less than 50% of all projects are successful and Design Thinking is one of the best ways to ensure successful projects and ensure management will get a proper ROI and investments are protected. We sincerely wish you as moderator much success in live and hope you can find a view takeaways to improve your moderation skills or start a successful Billboard Design Thinking career and help organizations and project teams to deliver successful projects all over the world. Happy Design Thinking. Sean & Bernard - New Years Eve 2020

En este libro se describe un enfoque sistémico. Se abordan definiciones básicas como: pensamiento sistémico, teoría de sistemas, análisis y síntesis del sistema. El concepto de sistemas y sus componentes se analizan como una to-talidad integral, una propiedad y una posición, también como un sistema técni-co y antropogénico. Además, se caracterizan las funciones, procesos, flujos y jerarquías del sistema.

Se presenta el concepto de consistencia y requerimientos del sistema, mientras que el operador del sistema se describe tomando en cuenta cualquier cambio y sus efectos en el sistema.
Posteriormente el contenido se centra en el análisis y síntesis de sistemas, así como en el enfoque de sistemas para el diseño.
El análisis sistémico se usa para no dejar lagunas en la siguiente secuen-cia: análisis de componentes, análisis estructural, análisis funcional y análisis de diagnóstico.

In 2005, Goodyear’s research and development (R&D) engine was not performing up to its full potential. The R&D organization developed high-quality tires, but the projects were not always successful. Goodyear embarked on a major initiative to transform its innovation creation processes by learning, understanding, and applying lean product development principles. Within five years, Goodyear saw its product development cycle times slashed by 70 percent, on-time delivery performance rise close to 100 percent, and throughput improve three-fold – all achieved with no increase in the R&D budget.

Lean-Driven Innovation: Powering Product Development at The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Company describes in great detail how the Goodyear team was able to achieve such significant improvements. Revealing the ups and downs of this successful transformation, the book shares experiences of how this seismic change was managed, how people were engaged, and how Goodyear dramatically reinvigorated its product development and innovation processes―and, in the process, delivered substantial more value to customers and to the company.

The book also explains how lean product development helped Goodyear dramatically improve revenue by having every new product available when the market needed it. Presenting wide-ranging perspectives from all levels of leadership, this book is ideal for anyone in R&D daring to take on a lean initiative in R&D or who is struggling with a lean transformation that is not delivering to its full potential. Since the book focuses on universal lean principles, it is as insightful to other manufacturing and nonmanufacturing disciplines in any industry as well.

The book presents invaluable insights gained by the author during his 36 years within Goodyear, of which 10 have been directly involved in trying to develop, implement, and sustain lean to achieve the company’s business objectives. It distills ideas, practices, failures, and successes into key principles that lean product development practitioners can easily implement.

After reading this book, you will gain a practical path for applying lean to the innovation processes of your organization, including where to begin and what to do, regardless of the industry and the status of your transformation.
