Male: Now why do we use Design Thinking for this workshop? And again, this is like –
this has got an overlap with the previous slide I showed. Blockchain technology is
pretty misunderstood. It’s very much hyped and IBM is really focusing on making
Blockchain real for business. It’s unlikely that the customer is going to have a
clear set of requirements that they hand to us and it’s also a great value to bring
multidisciplinary teams together from the customer to actually look at the
problem and thoroughly understand the problem space before we work with them
to evaluate the solution. And it is some – the projects that we found that have
been a real success are the ones that are sponsored by the user groups or by
transformation agents within the customer’s organization. These guys are really,
really, really focused on getting transformation and business value for their
organization by using Blockchain, and hence the whole thing here is ideally suited
to Design Thinking.

So what materials are available to actually help you run a Design Thinking
workshop and where can you find them. That’s what this section is about.

Probably not too surprised that we’ve put these in the IBM Community, which
we’ve been talking to you about all week, so these short links take you to an area
of the Community that describe the first project. We used Wiki pages on the
Community to structure the content and to give you context, and we used box
folders associated with the Community to store the detailed presentations that you
can use to structure and guide yourself through and your customer through the
Design Thinking process.

So just to give you an idea of what’s in the box folders. Again, just one of two
levels in the box folders and if you go in there today the content might be slightly
different from what I’m showing you here just because we’re continuously
actively curating that content. At this level there are things – at the top level you
can go to the material to walk you through the Design Thinking workshop, but
there are things here like cost templates for estimating the workshop and the agile
development process. There are things like – there are outlines of the first project
as a customer deliverable PDF and there are also a development team’s viewpoint
on the components of the first project, so just looking at what’s actually in there
from a development team point of view.

If you then drop down a level and go into the folder that I showed you. In fact, I
just clicked on there and gone into the Design Thinking workshop, this is what
you get. We actually, first of all, have a folder where we’ve taken all the source
materials that we used to construct the workshop templates and then we’ve got a
number of templates here. Templates A, B, C, and D are effectively the four
blocks of Design Thinking that we’ll be taking you through in the – that constitute
the four half-days, which make up the two-day Design Thinking workshop that
I’m going to be walking you through as we go through in the material section. But
we’ve also got some useful documents at the bottom. You can tell by the number
of version numbers. This one here is at version 40 right now. This is hints and tips

for successful Design Thinking workshop, some of which are actually built into
this presentation, the speaker notes. Also lessons from doing previous Design
Thinking workshops and a risk management approach. They’re actually looking
at what things could go wrong, going to have to mitigate against those risks. All
of those last three documents are in mind map format.
