Storytelling and UX prototyping resource by SAP

SAP has released an incredibly useful little tool to quickly create user experience prototypes, storyboards, pitching structures and pretty much anything else you can imagine that requires a bit of storytelling.

It is a kit that you can download for free and print yourself. It comes “pre-loaded” with different characters, objects and scenarios that you can mix and match to create your own story fast and collaboratively.

But don’t just believe me, see it in action for yourselves!

You can read more about it and download it for free here:  https://experience.sap.com/designservices/approach/scenes

Alex Conwan on Venture Design

Alex Conwan's Venture Design Process
  Venture Design Process, Copyright © 2016 Alex Cowan

If applying entrepreneurial theory to real life problems was a super power, Alex Conwan would definitely be a hero. He teaches at UVA Darden’s MBA and is the mastermind behind a free MOOC on Coursera but is not an academic in the traditional strict sense of the word.

What he is, is more akin to a kind of wizard that gathers ingredients from all over and mixes them in his magical cauldron of awesomeness to produce potions that help you create or grow your business.

He has come up with a framework called “Venture Design”, that combines all (my favourite) the best entrepreneurial theories out there (i.e. Lean Start-up, value proposition Design, etc.), with research methods from design thinking and ethnography and transforms them into an incredibly practical set of highly applicable processes, templates and tools that create a clear path for the confused entrepreneur to follow (or any kind of entrepreneur, really).

I’m rubbish at explaining it and super biased because I feel truly inspired by his work, but you can judge by yourselves here: http://www.alexandercowan.com/
