Convergence Experience. The Space of Design. Models of the process of design are relatively common. (I have found about 150 such models, many of which are presented in How Do You Design?) Each describes a sequence of steps required to design something—or at least the steps that designers report or recommend taking. Models of the process of design are common because designers often need to explain what they do (or want to do) so that clients, colleagues, and students can understand. Less common are models of the domain of design—models describing the scope or nature of practice, research, or teaching. (I have found only about a dozen such models.) Such models may be useful for locating individual processes, projects, or approaches and comparing them to others. Such models also help clients, colleagues, and students understand alternatives and agree on where they are (or want to be) within a space of possibilities.

Typically models of a domain are of three types: “Multisystems are comprised of sets of competing unisytems. Download PDF. Purpose-Driven Research as Key to Successful Service Design by Veryday. Untitled Document. Systems Sciences – Google+ (3) Anticipatory Systems (don’t) make the news | April 2013 | rosen listserv | In brief. David Ing. On the public listserv discussing Robert Rosen’s work for April, anticipatory systems defined by a journalist reflects incomplete background research by citing Daniel Dubois.

The discussion opened with: In a very typical example of how rhetoric, marketing, and computational politics work, the computing industry types have now glommed onto the phrase “anticipatory systems” and are using it to pretty much describe just what RR was *not* talking about in his book of that name. About which I suppose there is nothing to do but sigh. That leads to the article on “How The Internet Will Tell You What To Eat, Where To Go, And Even Who To Date” | Owen Thomas | April 10th, 2013 on ReadWrite Social, with the definition: What Is An Anticipatory System? Here’s a simple definition of anticipatory systems.

You’re waiting outside the Moscone Center, in a queue of several thousand people, many of whom have been camping out in the cold for over 12 hours. The security detail for this event rivals the Democratic National Convention. Another hour passes before you’re comfortably seated in a giant auditorium that’s crackling with anticipation.

Business evolved | American Essays. 20 Years of Hurt? Bus Deregulation in Greater Manchester | East of the M60. It was supposed to have improved services through competition. There was even talk of drivers owning their own buses. Even fare levels were supposed to have fallen, as power moved from the monolithic PTEs and the National Bus Company to the little.

How wrong they were, and how right were Greater Manchester PTE nearly 20 years ago. Between 1986 – 1993, there was plenty of competition between GM Buses (then a publicly owned Limited company) and the likes of Citibus, Bee Line Buzz Company and other PTE companies. Of course, there were some improvements to services, with some operators running minibus services via streets that tested the bigger buses. Fare levels have actually increased rather than fell since 1986, except in some cases. Rather than increased services, bus deregulation has seen strategically important routes withdrawn. Over the last two weeks, the Wilmslow Road corridor has become the subject of controversy over competition on the 85/86 routes to Chorlton.

Like this: Heidegger and Deleuze on Death (Nihil Unbound - Chapter IV) 6.1 Who is time? Departing from Heidegger’s 1924 lecture “The Concept of Time” Brassier traces how the question ‘what is time?’ Transforms into the question ‘who is time?’ Whatness corresponds to essence (Das Was), and essence (Ousia) is understood in turn as presence-at-hand (Vorhandenheit); being-present. Therein lie the roots of ‘metaphysics of presence’: the essence of things is prefigured by a prior understanding of time as being-present in time, i.e. ‘whatness’ or essence determines the being of intra-temporal entities as being-present. However, time cannot merely be one more entity among others, since time is not one more entity present in time; so we must first inquire into the different ways of being-in-time as well as how temporalization and its configurations become possibly accessible on the basis of a specific entity for whom temporal entities are encountered, our own being: Dasein. “Dasein is time, time is temporal. 6.2 Ekstasis and ekstema.

Laust Lauridsen Attractor Based Co-Creation Attractor Based Co-Creation is a holistic model of how to generate value and shared growth in the network society.

The model combines the linear proces of value creation and the growing cycles of development. Business, organisation, communication and innovation in one single model. Resources – time, money, knowledge, network and energy – are used to unfold potentials and produce results – e.g. concept, prototype, product, experience – according to the purposeful attractor.Players with different competences, preferences and motives are attracted by the attractor and will interact purposefully in situations, spontaniously or facilitated. Systems are organised to support situations and processes which emerge to cultural movements recruiting new players from the background population.

The co-creation moves on in growing cycles to form a movement. Introduktion till Gilles Deleuze - av Jan Sjunnesson. Gilles Deleuze (1925 - 1995) var en kreativ självständig filosof med en egensinnig filosofihistoria som specialitet. Han skrev böcker om Hume, stoicism, Nietzsche, Bergson, Kant, Spinoza och Leibniz, men även om film, psykoanalys, sexualitet, språkteori, politik, socio-kulturella frågor, konst, litteratur (Proust, Kafka, Beckett, anglo-saxisk litt.) och naturvetenskap, särskilt matematik och biologi. Deleuze disputerade 1968 vid Sorbonne på avhandlingen Différence et répétition som sammanfattar hans tänkande.

Flera böcker skrevs tillsammans med andra, bland annat verken Anti-Oidipus (-72), Tusen platåer (-80) om schizofreni och kapitalism med den radikala psykiatrikern Félix Guattari. vid Univ. de Paris VIIII - Vincennes/ St. Deleuze hela sin gärning sysslat med handlar om hur förändring ska beskrivas och bejakas.

Common models for participation in social and contributory media invariably set 'content creators' - the group of people who provide original material - at the top of an implied or explicit scale of comparative value.

Bradley Horowitz's Content Production Pyramid is one example, Forrester's Social Technographics Ladder is another. In these models, value - usually to potential marketers or advertisers external to the domain in question - is usually measured in terms of the level of involvement of the different groups present, whether consumers, synthesizers, or creators. By the numbers, these models are accurate: the vast majority of the content in social media comes from a small slice of the population. And for businesses, content creators offer greater potential to commercialize / monetize / trade influence. It's time to evolve these models a bit, to better align them with the sweeping DIY cultural and technological shift happening offline in the real world, as well as online. Academic representations of crowdsourcing, co-creation and open innovation.

As part of my work as a PhD student, I read lots of papers about open innovation and/or participative marketing. These papers are highly interesting but, I must admit, sometimes a little repelling with huge chunks of texts, references and citations. Visualizations of the described phenomena are greatly helpful to understand some of this information… I thought it would be interesting to gather a couple of visualizations of my research interests: crowdsourcing, co-creation and open innovation in a blog post ! This is not only quite entertaining, but might help people out there find new sources. Here we go… Crowdsourcing has first been defined as “the act of a company or institution taking a function once performed by employees and outsourcing it to an undefined (and generally large) network of people in the form of an open call” (Howe, 2006).

The Making-of Innovation » Co-Creation in the Automobile Industry – The Audi Virtual Lab. In the following I want to share some insights mainly from the co-creation projects I initiated during the time I worked for the carmaker Audi.

Two consecutive projects termed the “Audi Virtual Lab 1” and the “Audi Virtual Lab 2” were conducted in Germany, Japan and in the US. Overall more than 7.000 customers participated in the co-development of the Audi in-car multimedia system. As a co-creation technique we applied web-based user design firstly introduced by the MIT Professors Dahan/Hauser ( PRINCIPLES OF WEB-BASED USER DESIGN AS A CO-CREATION TECHNIQUE Web-based user design enables customers to select interactively those features that they prefer in their ideal product. Basically it works like a configurator using selection boxes or drag and drop features to or from products.

Using Value Co-Creation to Redefine Business Models. "No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. " John Donne Abstract In the information and communication technology (ICT) sector, a revolution is underway in the delivery channel of mobile service (or application) production and provision, and application stores are building up a central position as intermediaries in service delivery.

The market is transforming from being one-sided to being two-sided. Thus in this article, we focus on integrating the business model concept with value co-creation with respect to the emergence of two-sided markets and intermediaries. Introduction Volatility in the competitive environment forces firms to reinvent value instead of just adding it. Most of the business model literature has focused on value creation towards the customer; this is one-sided market logic. Figure 1. Business Models for Two-Sided Markets Application stores act as intermediaries between the two sides of the market. Figure 2. Conclusion. Redefining Sustainable Development by David Griggs.

Click to hide this space MELBOURNE – Albert Einstein once said that if he had just one hour to find a solution on which his life depended, he would spend the first 55 minutes defining the problem. Once he knew the right question to ask, he could solve the problem in less than five minutes.

Today, humanity faces such a life-threatening problem: How are we to provide adequate nutrition and a decent quality of life to a global population that is set to surpass nine billion by 2050, without irreparably damaging our planetary life-support system? To find a solution, we must start by clarifying the problem. Humans have fundamentally altered Earth’s ecosystems. As the environmental consequences of human activity become increasingly apparent, so does humanity’s responsibility to mitigate them. But this view is no longer tenable. A new approach is needed. For example, eradicating poverty entails the provision of food, water, energy, and access to gainful employment. Godhet är en lönsam strategi.

By Tom Davenport | 3:00 PM April 4, 2013 Those of us who believe that managers make better decisions when key data are presented visually tend to get very excited about all the innovation going on in the graphical display of information.

(For a sampling of some new and cool tools, see the popular Hans Rosling TED talk.) However, if you work in a large organization and want it to make better use of data visualization, I’d argue that commonality is more important than creativity. If you can establish a common visual language for data, you can radically upgrade the use of the data to drive decision-making and action. The best case I can cite for this argument is Procter & Gamble, which has institutionalized data visualization as a primary tool of management. Working with visual analytics software vendor Tibco Spotfire, P&G has put visual displays of key information on desktops — over 50,000 P&G employees now have access to a “Decision Cockpit” (shown below).
