I got my @Google cup with coffee in it and my new product design book by @Its_Me_AJB
I’m excited to expand my knowledge on building products that focus on inclusion. I have my @GoogleCloudTech socks 🧦 on too this morning. Lol

Super helpful! Throughout each part of the process, asking "who else?" to ensure full representation is key!

If you haven’t finished your summer reading list yet, here’s a recommendation just for you! 📚Check out "Building for Everyone" by @Its_Me_AJB to explore the inclusive design process used at Google.

ALT Google Design Book Club: "Building for Everyone" by Annie Jean-Baptiste Establishing diverse and inclusive organizations is an economic imperative for every industry. Any business that isn’t reaching a diverse market is missing out on enormous revenue potential and the opportunity to build products that suit their users' core needs. The economic “why” has been firmly established, but what about the “how?” How can business leaders adapt to our ever-more-diverse world by capturing market share AND building more inclusive products for people of color, women and other underrepresented groups? The Product Inclusion Team at Google has developed strategies to do just that and Building For Everyone is the practical guide to following in their footsteps.

.@Google is not known for its diversity, but @Its_Me_AJB, its first director of product inclusion and equity, is "a glass-half-full person"; “there are thousands of people across all levels who are really prioritizing this work,” she told me wsj.com/tech/championing-div…

I'll die on this hill:
Hospitals should not charge patients or staff to park. For patients, it disproportionally affects those with the lowest economic status.
And for employees, you're charging them to essentially come to work; this most affects employees who make the least.

Eureka moments are overrated. Effort is underrated.
Data: your first idea is rarely your best idea. The more time you spend brainstorming, the more space you make for divergent thoughts and unexpected connections.
Creativity flourishes with persistence and patience.
