Innovation - Explore the Interactive Deck from TechEd 2008
As promised at my TechEd 2008 chalk talk Innovation 101: Tips & Tricks for Architects & Developers to Drive Innovation, here's a slightly evolved version of my interactive deck. I had thought that a talk on innovation should innovate on the presentation tools and technique and here's what came out.
Click on the image to launch the application and start exploring the presentation canvas by panning downward DeepZoom style.
You can jump between chapters with the '+' and '-' keys on the number pad. The chapters in this deck are:
- Title Slide
- Why Innovation Matters and how to get started
- Processes, Styles and Ingredients of Successful Innovation
- Fail-Fast Pilot & Pitch
- Tools (Software and Motivational)
- Case Study: Microsoft's IdeAgency
- Case Study: Dell's IdeaStorm
- Myths and Gotchas
- Go and Innovate
Additional Navigation Aids are:
- <Home> - Zoom Out to show the entire canvas
- <Backspace> - Previous zoom level
- <Arrow Keys> - pan around the canvas
- <Mouse Wheel> - DeepZoom in and out
The idea for this presentation was borrowed from the Office Live team. They are they guys behind the TouchWall demo Bill Gates gave earlier this year and the LaserTouch shown at the Microsoft Research Roadshow. They just didn't have anything ready for me to show this summer. Fortunately, I still had some Silverlight DeepZoom code for a navigation hotspot framework laying around that I had written for a proof-of-concept earlier this year, which allowed me to pretty quickly build my own presentation app and a tool that helps with authoring the hotspots. Next time, I'll take more advantage of the framework's features with video, nested DeepZoom and others.
I hope you enjoy exploring the presentation adn please drop me a note if you're interested in the further conversations.
Much Thanks to Randy and the IdeAgency, Office Labs, Arvindra for being brave enough to present with the tool already, Ben Williams for his help with Silverlight Streaming to host the app.
