For some time now I have been shifting my attention from Blogging to Twittering. I like the possibility Twitter offers me to have amazing conversations with professionals from all over the world. And these conversations have become very important for getting information, keeping in touch with everything that is going on and for getting insights and inspiration from experts.
Besides being very active on Twitter I have started the WENOVSKI design thinkers community. This network is becoming very important and it give me more possibilities to connect to others. That's why I decided to move my blog there.
So from now on I will post on WENOVSKI. I hope to see you there!!!

How creativity is being strangled by the law
I've just been discovering Larry Lessing and his struggle. Very relevant in light of our growing capability of self-organisation.
Watch this TED-TALK BY Larry Lessig, the Nets most celebrated lawyer, cites John Philip Sousa, celestial copyrights and the "ASCAP cartel" in his argument for reviving our creative culture.

Service Design Course MCI Innsbruck
I am a guest lecturer on service design at the Management Centre Innsbruck in Austria. A few weeks ago I worked with students on a case concerning the customer experiences and services provided by the AlpenZoo. I think they did a great job. Specially since this was their first encounter with service design tools and methods. I thought I'd show some of their presentations:

WENOVSKI design thinkers network
A few weeks ago I started WENOVSKI a design thinkers network. This network will function as a platform to design thinkers from whatever discipline, to connect, share and find ways to work together. There are 144 members to date.
One interesting development on WENOVSKI is the forming of groups based on nationality and/or language. France, Australia, Dutch, German speaking, Spanish speaking. But the other groups are no less interesting: AIGA (the professional association for design), Design Thinking Education, project group Inner-city Education and Social Designers.
I'm very exited by all these activities.

Why the Failure of Systems Thinking Should Inform the Future of Design Thinking
Article by Fred Collopy:
"You never learn by doing something right ‘cause you already know how to do it. You only learn from making mistakes and correcting them."
Russell Ackoff
"Design and "design thinking" is gaining recognition as an important integrative concept in management practice and education. But it will fail to have a lasting impact, unless we learn from the mistakes of earlier, related ideas. For instance, "system thinking", which shares many of the conceptual foundations of "design thinking", promised to be a powerful guide to management practice, but it has never achieved the success its proponents hoped for. If systems thinking had been successful in gaining a foothold in management education over the last half of the 20th century, there would be no manage by designing movement, or calls for integrative or design thinking."

Service Design Research
A new website on Service Design research "SDR"
"What is the Service Design Research initiative?
It aims to collectively build an understanding and foster a dialogue on where ideas and concepts of Service Design have come from, how these evolved over the last two decades as well as report and review current research and service design practices. The motivation is to consolidate existing knowledge and to support the growth of a research community that engages in meaningful research relevant to the challenges design is dealing with today and in the future."

Course on Service design at the Management Center Innsbruck
Last week I gave a lecture and a workshop to students at the Management Center Innsbruck. The university is beautifully situated in the heart of Tirol, and the part were I gave my lecture had a grand view on the white peaks of the Alps. Besides this great scenery the people were extremely nice and welcoming. Needless to say I had a great time. And I'm looking forward to my next lecture.
I liked working with the students. They were noisy but attentive, just the way they should be. After my lecture we practised in brainstorming and lateral thinking and started working on their case study (the Alpen Zoo).
Below you'll find the first (and somewhat philosophical) part of my lecture. After this we discussed the realities and challenges of service design projects and I explained some service design methods.

MIT Wins The Buckminster Fuller Challenge
The 2009 Winner: Sustainable Personal Mobility and Mobility-on-Demand Systems
"Mobility-on-Demand systems utilize fleets of shared-use lightweight electric vehicles placed at automatic charging racks throughout a city. The CityCar and RoboScooter, both folding vehicles, along with the Green-Wheel Bicycle, minimize parking space and can be picked-up and dropped-off at any rack. Mobility-on-Demand systems maximize mobility and dramatically reduce congestion and pollution through energy and land-use efficiency.

DesignThinkers on Sustainable Design
Last week I gave a presentation in Finland for student (and teachers) of the Savonia University of Applied Sciences. Subject: Sustainable Design.
I first and foremost wanted to inspire them and give them a lot to think about. And I played a few mind-games.
But the most important point I tried to make is a fairly simple one:
We, humans, are not that special. And we are not in control as much as we would like to make ourselves believe. 'Man made' and 'natural' are often used as if they are opposites. But every new scientific discovery on this subject shows us again and again that we are an almost indistinguishable part of everything around us. We are nature. Acknowledging this is an important step in the discovery of who we are, what we are, where we are, and how we can build a future without destroying our home.
Take a look at the presentation below.
There was an alternative reason for me to be in Finland. I am part (and co-founder) of the Social Design Taskforce and we are working on a project for Greenpeace. A group of students from the Savonia University is helping us with research and prototyping. I'll soon tell you more about this very exiting project and the Social Design Taskforce.

"How Kevin Bacon Cured Cancer brings us a new view of the world, as we unfold the science behind the popular trivia game 'Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon'. Based on the idea that anyone on the planet can be connected in just a few steps of association, 'six-degrees of separation' was supposedly an urban myth. Through this documentary we discover it's at the heart of a major scientific breakthrough."

Matthew effect
I've been reading the book Outliers by Malcom Gladwell and was struck by his descriptions on how the Matthew Effect (the rich get richer and the poor get poorer) is effecting our changes of success.
He unveils the important role 'relative age' plays in the lives and careers of successful people. And It's all about the system we use to find and select our biggest talents.
This first example used in the book makes this very clear:
In Canada young ice hockey players with talent are selected when they are 9 years old (not 10) for the all-starteams. The selections take place every year, at the beginning of the year. This simply means that if you are born in January your in luck. By the time the selection takes place, you are almost 10 years old. In your development you are way ahead of the kids born in December. Consequently they are selected and will enter special programs and receive extra training to further develop their talents. As a result most successful Ice Hockey players in Canada are born in January, February an March. This is a fact.
The way almost all countries select their talents in sports and education is basically the same. And as a result there are a lot of talented people left behind.
It makes you think. Why didn't anyone notice this before....?
Read the book (besides the Matthew Effect he describes some other worthwhile ideas.)

Core Principles
Seedmagazine is publishing a new column by Paola Antonelli on design and science. Paola Antonelli is the senior curator of design and architecture at New York's Museum of Modern Art.
Her column will focus on innovation and consider objects as gateways to information and services; as means rather than mere commodities.
It struck a cord and left me hungry for more...
" From chairs to interfaces, from food-delivery trucks to conceptual scenarios on the impact of nanotechnology — design takes into account people's needs and concerns, helping them live better within the broad context of the world; it maximizes the available means to achieve the most satisfying outcome, and produces culture in the process."
"Designers stand between revolutions and everyday life."
"They're able to grasp momentous changes in technology, science, and society and convert those changes into objects and ideas that people can understand."
"Design is looking for a unified theory — or maybe just for a theory tout court — for, in spite of its permanence and inevitability, it is still a rather unexplored region of human creativity."
"Science can teach design how to find its own core."
"Designers find themselves today at the center of an extraordinary wave of cross-pollination.
Because of their role as intermediaries between research and production, they often act as the primary interpreters in interdisciplinary teams, called upon not only to conceive objects, but also to devise scenarios and strategies."

Help Us Write 'Intentions': A Book About Failure
"If you're not prepared to be wrong, you'll never come up with anything original." - Sir Ken Robinson
Welcome to Intentions, a collaborative project between Arne van Oosterom and Kate Andrews.
Our aim is to create a book of compelling stories from around the world, capturing how young creative people struggle to make a difference, in an indifferent world.
The book 'Intentions' will tell stories about the importance of making mistakes. Because from failure we learn and grow. This is what being creative is all about. It is about learning by trying, sketching and experimenting. It is failure which makes us grow the most, not 'success'.
Intentions puts the importance of failure center stage for a change.
And we need your help! So, do you have a story to tell us about? Post it here on Facebook. And maybe you can become a part of Intentions.

Just notised BOOKaBOOK. A very intresting concept:
"Most books that are written are never published. Why? Publishers reject more than 80% of the manuscripts that they receive from writers. This means that readers depend heavily on what publishers decide to publish. BOOKaBOOK wants to change this situation: readers decide what books are published."

Sustainable Mobility
Now!Move is a project we do on sustainable Mobility, mobility that doesn't take more than it gives.
The first subject we are tackling is our Congested Cities. The suffocating grip traffic has on our daily life. Specially in older cities, never build for large number of cars, we could do with a new approach.
A congested city (or country) usually means an economic congestion as well, but it definitely spells problems concerning safety and health for the people living in the city.
So what can we do? Well, one of the biggest problems is using your car for short trips. One possible solution: everyone should use a bicycle for trips shorter that 5 Km.
To a City like Amsterdam this would mean an almost car free city. It means an economic boast because of the more Accessible City, and last but not least it would have a big positive effect on health because of the improved air-quality, safety on the roads and people simply getting more exercise. There is a lot to profit.
Now, this is never going to happen quick. Mentalities, politics, laziness and old habits are in the way. They always are. But in due time there is no doubt that things will start moving.
Now!Move is going to give a little push.
This blog on the project is put up to keep you posted. But more important we set up a experimental "project twitter" to have a real conversation.
So join the conversation on Twitter (twitter.com/NowMove) and place @NowMove before your Tweets so we can track the conversation.

Is "Transformation" a Better Concept Than "Innovation" to Guide us Forward?
Posted by: Bruce Nussbaum on January 03
"We are having a great conversation on one of the most important subjects in our lives—how we can change our broken institutions and out-dated culture to survive and thrive within 21st century forces. The thread is brilliant and I’m learning a lot.
Here are the reasons why I think the concept of “transformation” is of great utility and power than “innovation at this point in time."
