Ricardo Abella
Specialises In (based on submitted proposals)
I grew up in Colombia and moved to the US about seven years ago -first to learn English, then to work on my MBA and now to learn as much as I can bout the Agile space.
As an engineer, I started my career in Project Management about 15 years ago. From establishing multinational business models in large corporations to shutting down Government agencies.
There are three things that I love in life: ideas, people and challenges. That's why I'm passionate about Agile. I try to learn and apply its principles and techniques every time I have the opportunity and get involved in the community as often as possible.

Understanding HOMELESSNESS through DESIGN THINKING
45 Mins
Case Study
Intermediate
Design Thinking has been developed as an approach to resolve issues outside of professional design practices -business and social contexts are great examples. Since the framework integrates classic creative problem-solving with art and design methodologies, it matured as a flawless and flavorful strategy for innovation.
Nowadays, even large bureaucracies like the Veterans Administration and IBM use Design Thinking to explore the experiences of key stakeholders and search for insights that allow them to improve product, services and processes.
Not every design thinking project is a success, of course, but as a risk management approach, few innovation methodologies compete with this strategy. As companies continue to adopt agile, Design Thinking gains traction as the right tool to create an intimate connection with final users, uncover the true needs and problems, and propose less risky solutions.
In this interactive talk you will be walked through the 12 steps we followed -for 12 weeks- to understand homelessness, uncover the real issues and propose new concepts. You will be surprised, not only by the insights we found but also by the power of the framework. After listening to this real-life example, you will leave the room looking for opportunities to apply the framework on a daily basis.
