It's not every day you get to meet the one and only Guy Kawasaki to hear him speak AND have him jump into Mixed Reality to experience the remarkable advances we're making for Frontline workers using D365 Field Service and D365 Guides. #guykawasaki, #mixedreality, #MSDyn, #fieldservice, #guides

"Dropbox is very impact-driven, giving engineers many opportunities and challenges that stretch their abilities. I have never worked on a project that hasn't taught me something new, and I learn many things that I can share with others or take on into future work."- Win Suen, Machine Learning Engineer Win shares her unconventional route into engineering on the #LifeInsideDropbox blog

This video MVP of Dropbox got them 70,000 sign ups literally overnight. 🤯 And their product wasn’t even ready. One would say it was a genius move by a marketer. But that’s wrong. The whole team was made up of engineers. None of them had any marketing background. The founders just wanted feedback from customers. Their hypothesis was that file synchronization was a problem people didn't realize they had, but would find essential once they experienced the solution. Potential users didn’t even need to use the actual product – the video explainer was compelling enough to answer the value hypothesis. An awesome experiment to learn a lot from. 🚀 Check my first comment for key learnings. P.S. What did your MVP look like at first? Help others by sharing your example below. 😉

My kids, like many kids, love playing with Lego. I’ve lost count of the number of kits they’ve collected since their respective day 1s 🐣 They spend hours building magnificent structures from soup to nuts, and it always fills me with pride to see them complete a kit. After each build, we often take some time to step back and admire their work. Those moment of admiration don’t tend to last long though. Usually within a few minutes the $thing is torn down and all of the Lego bricks, mini-figures and whatnots are swept in to big barrel 🛢️ of assorted archived Lego components. “The barrel” sits in the cupboard until the next time the kids come to me and say “Dad! I’m sooo bored!”. This is usually when it’s a rainy day ☔️ or they are on school holidays (or on a rainy school holiday day 😱). It’s at this point where the inevitable happens. With tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands of Lego components scattered across the floor, one of the kids shows me a picture of something they saw on TV or whilst playing a video game and asks “Dad, can you help us build this please?”. As a Solutions Architect, turning a pile of discreet Lego bits in to a majestic castle 🏰, Bluey’s house 🏡 or an international space station 🚀 , with minimal (often no) instructions isn’t completely unfamiliar territory for me. In fact, my kids often ask me what I do at work all day. When they do, with our rainy day / school holiday activities in mind, I tell them that what I do at work isn’t all that different from what I do at home. Well, last week I had the pleasure of being able to expand on the “just like when we build lego” explanation of my job. I got to bring my daughter to my office for the day. Not only did this aspiring young engineer get to take part in a holiday code camp and build a game. But she also got to see where I work and meet some of the AWSome people I work with. Work hard, have fun … make memories. #codecamp #aws #family #development #awscloud #aspiringengineer #amazon #lego

Did you know Dropbox built a billion-dollar company without even launching a full product at first? Instead of diving into development, they tested their idea with just a simple video explaining the concept. This video got the attention of early adopters, and thousands signed up based on the potential of the product. They used this feedback to fine-tune and build what their users really wanted—before writing any significant code. The takeaway? You don’t need a finished product to start testing your idea. A clear concept, even in its simplest form, can be enough to validate your MVP. Are you overbuilding or testing the market early?

As we wrap up another great year at Adobe Hong Kong, we didn't forget to have fun! Everyone gathered in the office for a day full of fun games, breakout sessions & much more!

🍫💡💌 Innovation in Every Bite: Valentine's Chocolate Making with Microsoft Garage 💌💡🍫 Why did we run a session on chocolate making this Valentine's at the Microsoft Garage in Vancouver? It's simple: 🔍 Creativity & Experimentation: Crafting chocolates mirrors the innovation process—trying new ideas, embracing diverse ingredients, and seeing what amazing things come out. Perfect for the exploratory spirit of Microsoft Garage. 📘 Learning from the Process: Each chocolate batch teaches us something new, just like every project at Microsoft. It's about learning from every experience, successful or not. 🛠 Celebrating Every Outcome: Not every chocolate will be perfect on the first try, and that's okay. It's a sweet reminder that innovation is about progress, not perfection. Thanks to everyone that joined us as we blended the art of chocolate making with the essence of innovation. It's more than just a tasty treat; it's a symbol of our journey towards continuous improvement and creativity. And of course, a big thank you to Cody for planning and running a great event. #MicrosoftGarage #Innovation #Creativity #MSVan #MicrosoftLife #ValentinesDay #vancity #vancouver
