Untitled. XPLANE - Better business, designed. Brand Led Innovation. We solve client challenges with a simple yet powerful process. 6.2 puts the brand at the heart of all organisational innovation — creating a shared vision for the brand (external, for the user) and organisation (internal, for the organisation) in order to drive sustainable solutions to complex problems.

Brand Led Innovation

We make innovation real. Every concept, every idea, needs to be tested in the real world and against the people who are creating it. We create products and services by aligning our design team, developers, consultants and project leads to work across every step of the process to the final product.

Social Innovation

At IDEO, we use design thinking to address issues such as poverty, nutrition, health, water and sanitation, economic empowerment, access to financial services, and gender equity. Our projects involve clients in both the private and public sectors. To help them develop effective solutions, we create not only products and services, but also the entire system that supports them. This often means spending considerable time in the field, living and working with the people we’re striving to assist. We routinely partner with local leaders (who act as our trusted advisers) to ensure that all concepts and solutions are practical, culturally appropriate, scalable, and sustainable.

This means that before introducing anything new, we figure out what really matters to the target population—and what will motivate them to accept and adopt our solution. Capabilities. Innovation is the successful application of an idea in context.

Capabilities

peter senge and the theory and practice of the learning organization

Senge (1947- ) was named a ‘Strategist of the Century’ by the Journal of Business Strategy, one of 24 men and women who have ‘had the greatest impact on the way we conduct business today’ (September/October 1999). While he has studied how firms and organizations develop adaptive capabilities for many years at MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), it was Peter Senge’s 1990 book The Fifth Discipline that brought him firmly into the limelight and popularized the concept of the ‘learning organization’.

Since its publication, more than a million copies have been sold and in 1997, Harvard Business Review identified it as one of the seminal management books of the past 75 years. Peter Senge. Social Consciousness.
