Our third NUX Liverpool event of the year includes a talk by Tom Adams, outlining how to supercharge your ideas and improve your decision making with hypotheses. This NUX Liverpool meet-up is kindly hosted by MoneySuperMarket and is taking place on Thursday 10th May at Exchange Station. Tithebarn Street, Liverpool, Merseyside L2 2QP.
Join us from 6:00pm for drinks, pizza and networking. Talks start at 6:30pm.
Hypotheses: supercharge your ideas and improve your decision making
with Tom Adams
What is a good idea? More importantly, how can you tell the difference between good ideas and bad ones? How can you be confident you’re not wasting your or your clients’ time and money by designing and building work that has no return on investment, and little value to users?
In this hands-on session, Tom will teach you to structure your ideas using design hypotheses backed up with evidence and outcomes. He’ll talk about what makes a good hypothesis (and what makes a bad one), and he’ll discuss how hypotheses can help you understand which ideas have potential value, and which ones need more work. And he’ll talk about how hypotheses can be used as a powerful persuasion tool with clients, stakeholders and teams – particularly in helping you avoid the dreaded Hippos (highest paid person’s opinion).
