We said goodbye to a valued team member today.

Dipika Makan has been with SeventyTwo for 6 years now; managing projects and being the friendly voice on the end of the phone that so many of our clients have grown to love.

Thank you for your service Dipika and for all the laughs, we'll all miss you.

Although Dipika is leaving our team has grown with Bernardo and Dianne joining us. Dianne has joined the SeventyTwo team as a junior full-stack developer and Bernardo as a UI Designer.

Stay safe New Zealand.

Best wishes,

SeventyTwo

What are the chances?!

At the very same time we uploaded our new logo to the SeventyTwo page our existing/old signage blew off the roof!

After 15 years in business we have made the call to drop DPI from our name.

With the release of 4K, 5K and now 6K monitors the term is now outdated and no longer relevant in the current digital landscape we find ourselves in. Changing our name from 72DPI to SeventyTwo reflects the changes in the digital world and our commitment to remain at the forefront when it comes to web, apps and all things digital.

We have a website new coming in 2020.

Yesterday we held an Ideation Session here in the office. We’re undergoing a rebrand just now (more on this soon) and I was struggling to come up with original ideas for a web feature that will be part of our updated website.

In situations like this it helps to gather everyone involved and run an Ideation Workshop. Ideation is the process of generating ideas - lots of ideas - through brainstorming, sketching and discussion.

The aim of the session is to generate lots of ideas in a short time, ideally no longer than 15mins. There are no bad ideas, no judgement or negative feedback allowed but you need to stay focussed on the topic.

Our goal was for everyone to stick 10 ideas up on the wall, one idea per post-it. It was okay to read colleagues ideas as this could spark another unique idea.

In the end we had just under 60 possible solutions to our problem.

Once the timer signalled the end of the 15mins we had a quick review and anyone that felt their idea required further explanation had a chance to speak.

We selected the most interesting ideas and then each of us had 3 votes to give to the post-it(s) we thought were the best. This was done by marking with a sharpie.

At the end of this process that too around 25mins in total we had started with 50+ ideas which we quickly whittled down to about a dozen and after voting we have 3 solutions to our problem.

Now it’s a simple case of weighing up the pros and cons of each before making a final decision.

Ideation Workshops work really well, they’re fun and its a great way to bring the team together. Most importantly it can be a real time saver and can yield some really creative solutions to difficult problems.

What do you do when you’re stuck in a rut or have a problem to solve? Is this a technique you’ve used before - let us know in the comments.
