In just 24 lessons of one hour or less, Design Thinking for Tech helps you inject techniques and exercises into your projects using the same systematic and creative process that designers have used for years.Anderson walks you through a simple four-phase Design Thinking model, showing how to loop back, keep learning, and continuously refine your work. You start by understanding the essential “what, how, when, why, and who” of Design Thinking. Next, you use core Design Thinking techniques to understand the big picture, focus on your most critical problems, think more creatively about them, take the "next best steps" toward problem resolution and value creation, and along the way rapidly iterate for progress.Every lesson builds on what you've already learned, with exercises crafted to deliver directly relevant experience. Regardless of your role in the world of technology, you'll learn how to supercharge success for any tech-related project, business initiative, or digital transformation.Learn how to...Apply a simple four-phased Design Thinking model in team and individual settingsInject game-changing methods into the project lifecycleGain crucial “big picture” insights into how a situation has evolved over timeBuild and maintain healthier, more resilient teamsReskill teams to deliver greater business, functional, and technical impactSet and manage realistic expectations through a 360° view of your stakeholdersConnect, communicate, and empathize with the right people at the right timeLiberate the ideas trapped in your head so you can explore them deeply with othersThink divergently, expand creativity, and work through uncertaintyNavigate problems to quickly arrive at potential solutionsDeliver incremental yet real value to people who desperately need itStart small to deliver greater value at velocityImprove how you approach and manage changeStep-by-step instructions carefully walk you through the most common tasks.Practical, hands-on examples show you how to apply what you learn.Quizzes and exercises help you test your knowledge and stretch your skills.Notes and tips point out shortcuts and solutions.

Pages 270. Illustrated.The incredible discoveries of quantum physics are completely upsetting the assumptions of classical science. Today the technique allows amazing achievements. For example, the first quantum computers with almost unlimited computing capabilities are being realized. Some support the real possibility of time travel. In addition to these innovations known to the general public, there are others less known but no less important. They are the novelties deriving from quantum studies, among which we can mention the "superposition of states" and the "quantum collapse".The "superposition of states" confirms that the same particle can be found simultaneously in two or more places. The theory of "quantum collapse" confirms that the behavior of matter can be decided simply by observation. These are not assumptions, but principles verified experimentally.This book does not only deal with these innovations, but gives much space to more advanced theories. These are theories announced but not yet confirmed. Furthermore, the book also evaluates the most risky theories, provided they are scientifically based.For example, the book talks about the multiverse, or theory of parallel universes, proposed by the physicist Hugh Everett. In the same way the book speaks of non-locality. It is a psychic space totally independent of the laws of classical physics. As a result of non-locality, elementary particles, located at astronomical distances, behave as if they were one.This book also talks about the latest research by Roger Penrose, an unbelieving physicist, and Stuart Hameroff. According to these two scientists the soul exists and can be identified with quantum fluctuations. These fluctuations have the ability to survive the physical death of the body.If really the "souls" are condensations of quantum fluctuations, we can formulate a question: will it ever be possible to devise instruments that allow dialogue with these fluctuations?The book exposes the research of established scientists but without using any mathematical formula. The theories are exposed in a simple and understandable way to everyone. In this way everyone can discover the unsuspected aspects of the reality in which we live.It is clear that quantum physics is decreeing the end of materialism and the beginning of a new cultural phase, based on the collaboration between spirit and matter.

This book explores the many facets of building and operating an SAP infrastructure exploiting Cloud technologies, describing and discussing the latest challenges and suitable solutions, and outlining future trends. Includes practice-oriented case studies.

In 1943, eighteen-year-old George Anderson received his draft notice and entered the U.S. Army. This is the story of his experiences in basic training, his combat duty as a member of the Army's Field Artillery, and his participation in the post-war occupation of Japan, all told from the first-hand perspective of the soldier himself. In addition to the first-hand narrative, the book contains numerous photos from the time.
