Idea To Pitch In 180 Minutes - UX UtSav, India Workshop

Often, too much time is wasted creating that 'big design upfront' only to find that users don’t like what you have built once it has been released. Today we are in danger of not only over designing, but also designing solutions for the wrong problems. Join Eewei in his inspirational workshop and learn how to use game-storming techniques to help ensure design solutions for the right business problems can be delivered to the right target audiences, rapidly and continuously.

Participants will learn how to create design solutions fast, as a team, and with clients, to get products that really matter out onto market quickly. This collaborative workshop will also take the attendees through the key stages of the design challenge, including empathy mapping, idea value map, user journeys/paper prototype, business modelling and elevator pitch.

Learning outcomes

- Discover how to combine essential game storming techniques successfully
- Match great ideas back to real business goals and end-user needs
- Quickly highlight features that are most valuable
- Create a simple paper prototype to demonstrate how valuable your final idea is
- Use essential techniques to pitch your idea successfully

10. Eewei Chen @ultraman / me@eewei.com / #uxutsav Finding the time to go to the cinema as a family is difficult. We have to factor in expensive costs for driving, parking, tickets, pop corn, drinks then usually dinner afterwards. We usually end up watching movies that the kids want to watch My husband and I had our first date at the movies. I like romantic comedies and he likes action adventure. It is hard to watch what we both want at the same time. Cinemas can be dirty. There have been times when people have been rude, annoying & scary. Ann the busy wife and mother Andy the movie geek I am obsessed about details. I love spotting the mistakes and ranting about it online. I am well known on many movie blog sites. I love playing games and competing. I usually do a lot of research ahead of time but sometimes I just canʼt find info on a very new or unusual director or film. I donʼt watch mainstream movies any more but still attend UK film festivals as you can see quality British films there first. I love foreign films too. I donʼt like public spaces with crowds. I donʼt like travelling too far to see a good movie. I am the one who tends to organise get togethers for my friends. They look to me for inspiration too! I spend a lot of time socialising online especially on Facebook and Twitter. When you go to the cinema you need to go at a specific time and watch just one movie which may turn out to be a disappointment. I used to go to the movies a lot but less now as it is more convenient to buy a subscription movie and invite friendʼs round to my place where we can relax, eat, talk and drink in our own time.

24. Eewei Chen @ultraman / me@eewei.com / #uxutsav Itʼs a waste of time going to the cinema when I can watch what I want, when I want at home. I canʼt pause a movie, use my phone or go online to check something out when I want to... I donʼt feel safe going to the cinema anymore, you just donʼt know who is going to be there with you.... Can anyone suggest a good movie? There doesnʼt seem to be much on that I want to see... source: blogs, forums & twitter #movies It is very expensive once you add travel, food and drinks to the equation... None of my friends want to go watch the movie I want to so I end up going on my own... time consuming loss of control fear of crowds too expensive anti-social no choice other problems
