  Battling Drought

  The extreme drought in the US Southwest has brought the issues of water use and management to the forefront of media attention. Historically, arguments over water rights have plagued this area since the days of John Wesley Powell, and disputes mark the relations between states, city-dwellers, farmers, and environmentalists to this day. Add to that the challenges of climate change, which is altering rainfall patterns the world over, and the imperative to rethink water management policies becomes acute. 
  Battling Drought takes a long look at the situation in the American Southwest from the early engineering projects, such as building the Hoover and Grand Coulee dams, which were designed to tame the rivers, to the recycling and restoration efforts of today. Projects like the recycling of wastewater in Santa Rosa, CA, and the restoration of the Aral Sea in Central Asia offer both optimism and lessons for change. However, the story of the Himba in Africa—who have, so far, successfully blocked building a dam on a nearby river—illustrates that changing attitudes is often like trying to change the flow of a river. It’s an upstream battle. While successful projects like these move us toward that goal, new technologies, methods, and crops are still needed to combat diminishing water supplies. A common saying is that someone “spends money like water.” Over the last century, we’ve learned that water might be the more precious of the two.

  A proven framework to align teams, define clear design inputs, and accelerate product success 
   
  In product development, great ideas can get lost in translation. Teams kick off with enthusiasm, but somewhere between the first design iteration meeting and the engineering handoff, misaligned assumptions lead to costly rework, stalled timelines, and products that miss the mark.
   
  In Pierce the Design Fog, quality advocate and senior engineer Dianna Deeney reveals why 85% of companies struggle to get product development right—and how to fix it. Drawing from over 25 years in manufacturing, quality engineering, and cross-functional leadership, she shares practical methods for bridging the gap between concept development and engineering-ready designs.
   
  Using her ADEPT Team Framework and Concept Space Model, Deeney provides a repeatable process to unite diverse perspectives, surface hidden requirements, and define clear design inputs focused on user experience. This hands-on playbook for managers, engineers, and product leaders uses step-by-step guidance, real-world examples, and ready-to-use templates to engage every stakeholder from the start and turn ideas into high-quality, customer-focused design inputs.
   
  You will learn how to:
  
  Identify and avoid the "Ta-da Flop" by validating concepts before engineering begins.
  Lead efficient, collaborative meetings that produce actionable design inputs.
  Translate end user needs into prioritized, measurable requirements.
  Apply quality engineering tools to reduce design loops and speed approvals.
  Foster stronger cross-functional team alignment and earlier buy-in. 
  
   
  If you lead engineers, market products, or manage cross-functional teams, Pierce the Design Fog will change the way you start projects—with results your customers will notice.
