kwamecorp is a social
enterprise
All our dividends go into the creation/investment of more
projects for more positive social impact

Private equity fund that
invests in ideas (start-ups)

we work as two entities
&
We’ll explain these numbers in the end

Strategy Concept Prototype Development
What we do @kwamecorp
It’s never truly linear but the goal is to release products/
services that have a positive impact in people’s
lives.
![Page 5: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Value proposition
What we do, simplified
it’s all about validation and the best way to validate is
to prototype quickly in native environments
Value reality
![Page 6: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Our only purpose is to add value to the
user
Positive impact
![Page 7: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
This means everyone in a project keeps their focus on one
thing:Adding value to end users
![Page 8: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
PMs, Designers, Coders... all busy
applying their skills, but all share a vision:
Adding value to end users
![Page 9: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Strategy Concept Prototype Development
Action point:
Define value proposition that can be broken down into
small parts and validated
and yes, value propositions change, but usually a"er they are validated
![Page 10: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
1. The value proposition needs to
be simple.
2. Value proposition does not change until it is validated.
3.Value proposition is the glue
that keeps everyone in check.
![Page 11: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Does open design create a be#er
product?
The big question is
![Page 12: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Idea Product/Service
Idea Product/Service
Closed design
Open design
If we take these two approaches
![Page 13: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Which one will add more value to the
end user?
![Page 14: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Open ≠ InnovativeWe work on some secret stuff that is
not less innovative

There is no such things as fully open or
fully closed designAction point: assess the Open index
of a project before you start

We do know that Open design == more conversation
& conversation leads to more learning
& more chances to cross pollinate.

So how to make Open design add
more value to users
than closed design?
![Page 18: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
First you need to understand our universe and its
players
![Page 19: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Our universe looks like this from the
outside
![Page 20: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Code
UX
UI
1. Core has been open for a long time, loads of conversation
around it. A meritocracy of
coders. 2. Design layers appear open
because they are visible. Reality:
UX / UI has always been very closed because
it’s not as objective as
code. Subjectivity
prefers closed environments.
![Page 21: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
In fact, our universe is more like this
![Page 22: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Code
UXUI
We marry design and coding in triangles
which are validated as quickly as possible

Triangle serves to:
1. Show, don’t tell. Play.
2. Make sure everyone is aligned in the value proposition.
3. Validate.

This means designers need to become more objective
and more focused on validation
coders have been for a while
![Page 25: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Many different players involved. All have egos, desires...
1. Make triangles cycles shorter.
2. The shorter the more focused and objective.
3. The more focused the quicker the validation.

Open design questions
Must the 3 atoms be open so that we can add more value to
the end user?Which one is easier to open first?
![Page 27: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Design and code conversations should
be around value proposition
![Page 28: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
open a conversation to everyone it
becomes very noisy
The issue becomes how to manage noise
because when you
![Page 29: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Coders have meritocracies and a
much more value oriented approach
they have been doing it in the open for years
![Page 30: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
Designers don’t. They tend to be less
objective.
not focused on value to user
![Page 31: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
How can designers open their process
up?
when? How?
![Page 32: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Design is NOT the beginning NOR the end of the process
Well first they need to come to grips that
![Page 33: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
The beginning is value proposition
The end is value reality
Code
UXUIValidate
Design is one of the tools to get there
![Page 34: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
what should designers open?
So,
![Page 35: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Value proposition is
translated into feature sets.
Open feature sets up for discussion. Invite
solutions.
![Page 36: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
Your goal is to validate it through feature sets. Agree on those and
open them up to collaborative approach.
Don’t open up initial value proposition.
![Page 37: kwamecorp open design](https://reader031.fdocuments.net/reader031/viewer/2022032421/55a6a7341a28abe72e8b47c2/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)

Be certain that
Openness does not kill differentiators
&
You are not going to get less competition because suddenly
everyone is collaborating

Wonderful work but no conversation (well it’s internal)
Would be great to share value propositions though.

In all that has been said, the most practical tool (beyond our validation process) in opening up our design process has
been Dropbox.
