The CEO of my current company will be giving a talk at this year's Great Lakes Software Excellence Conference . In the talk, Michael Cloran is planning on showing off our software, talking about the technology hurdles that Interactions needed to overcome to get to where we are, and talking about what's needed in order to continue to innovate and keep pace with business. I anticipate a fun talk. Michael's a high-energy speaker.
Tim Brown wrote a great article in the HBR on Design Thinking. You can't normally get HBR articles unless you subscribe, but IDEO has posted the article on their website.
In the article there is a sidebar on "A Design Thinker's Personality Profile." It covers empathy, integrative thinking, optimism, experimentalism, and collaboration. If you read the short descriptions Tim offers for each, I think you'll see strong parallels to software testing.
I did.
