    Moving my Blog to WENOVSKI

    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.

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.
