Conquering Mount InceptEry Inception and Discovery Mindset

Ever been parachuted into a situation that requires you to do a product discovery or project inception? Ever found that it feels like setting out on an expedition into the unknown? Ever been curious to explore the mindsets that allow us to thrive and continuously drive successful results within a discovery or inception team? Then this session is for you! Labels or terms used within discovery (or is it inception?!?) are often confusing, so we shall explore the definitions of each as well as uncovering the mindsets to develop as we venture into these ambiguous landscapes. As intrepid change professionals, navigating discovery and inception activities is like mapping terrain with a flashlight. We must equip ourselves like explorers and have the courage to guide our teams through the difficult and uncertain terrain. In this talk you’ll hear: - How discovery differs from inception, why they exist and what they’re for - How we should behave and lead in these environments - How we can use their experience and learnings to detect common pitfalls So, grab your flashlight and map, and come with us on the ascent of Mount InceptEry!
