Welcome to the d.school’s Virtual Crash Course resource page! We know not everyone can make a trip the d.school to experience how we teach design thinking. So, we created this online version of one of our most frequently sought after learning tools. Using the video, handouts, and facilitation tips below, we will take you step by step through the process of hosting or participating in a 90 minute design challenge. We invite you to join this prototype! Since we’re just at the beginning of this distance learning adventure, things may feel a little rough around the edges.

Five Whys
There is an image of the inventor as the lone tinkerer, jealously guarding their ideas and keeping their work ‘top secret’. This attitude has carried over into the boardroom, backed up with the concept of intellectual capital as a key resource. How may businesses today focus their innovation efforts on the capture and protection of Intellectual Property? Today’s post continues my summary of business model patterns put forwards in Business Model Generation, focusing on open innovation and the long tail model for reaching out to customers. Open Innovation When Henry Chesborough challenged the notion of self reliance, the idea that we don’t need to come up with all the ideas by ourselves, he was met with some resistance.color, colour, Jude Stewart, inspiration, design, gifts, trends, Pinterest, social media — Imprint-The Online Community for Graphic Designers
Social-media-watchers are ablaze lately with the news: Pinterest appears to be THE next hot tool. While Slate ’s Farhad Manjoo gave a not-meant-for-me review of the tool (his article title, “Cupcakes, Boots and Shirtless Jake Gyllenhaal” , says it all), Pinterest’s numbers are indeed exploding. The site hit 10 million monthly unique visitors faster than any site ever , and it’s responsible for more referral-traffic than Google+, YouTube and LinkedIn combined . Clearly those are stats worth paying attention to. But who should be using Pinterest , and for what exactly? More crucially, how can Pinterest feed the ever-ravenous maw of color- and design fandom, whether you lead an entourage for your own work or dig the design work of others?

A group of four young Taiwanese designers have embarked on quite a mission: to speak to advocates of design thinking and document it's expanding influence on the way we live and interact with the world. So far, they've interviewed Bill Moggridge (Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum), Dan Formosa (co-founder Smart Design), George Bylerian (Material ConneXion), Paul Pangaro (Cybernetic Lifestyles), Richard Grefé (AIGA), Roger Martin (Rotman School of Management), and Susan Szenasy ( Metropolis Magazine) and Angela Yeh (YehIDeology). Help them finish their film by donating financially or, if you're more musically inclined, donate a song for the soundtrack. Watch the trailer for the film after the jump and check out their KICKSTARTER !

La strategie du design - Le blog de la stratégie du design sous tous ses aspects.
Le monde académique ouvre enfin les yeux sur celui du design et le nombre de publications sur le thème est en train de littéralement exploser. Dans ce fourmillement de réflexions et de questionnements, on retrouve de manière récurrente la question de l'impact du design. J'ai déjà critiqué une bonne partie de ces recherches dans un post précédent , mais je viens de terminer un article qui commence à poser des questions beaucoup plus intéressantes !! Plutôt que de tenter de définir dans quelle mesure une allocation de ressources peut avoir un impact sur la performance de l'entreprise en termes de Développement de Nouveaux Produits (NPD), les auteurs se sont posés la question de l'impact du choix de la stratégie d'implémentation du design. . En se basant sur les recherches de Perks et al en 2005, Les trois auteurs (Roper, Love et Vahter) analysent trois stratégies types dans le cadre des processus de NPD: 3.Visual thinking
If you’re a businessperson or someone interested in understanding how to facilitate innovation, you’ve probably heard of “design thinking” by now. Coined by IDEO’s David Kelley, the term refers to a set of principles, from mindset to process, that can be applied to solve complex problems. I’ve seen articles lately ranging from those that highlight its potential, [ Design Thinking for Social Innovation , How does design thinking give companies a competitive advantage? ] to those that warn of it’s impending failure as a practice [ Why Design Thinking Won't Save You , The Coming Boom and Bust of Design Thinking ]. I’ve been eager to enter into the conversation, especially because some of the arguments around the topic don’t make sense to me and I wanted to know why. Change by Design , written by IDEO’s CEO Tim Brown, was on my winter reading list anyway, so I decided to finish it before bringing in my own perspectives.
What is Design Thinking, Really? « emergent by design
When implementing an aesthetic strategy, one of the initial consideration is deciding whether your are aiming for “instant presence” or “instant payoff”. In my previous post, I discussed the qualities of instant presence. Instant presence is an aesthetic experience that occurs as a result of extended payoff time, and a challenge of assumptions; the receiver...
David Report
Cities and their influence on citizens’ behavior, community, and culture is top of mind for more than the usual suspects: urban planners and city hall officials. Right now designers, technologists, hacktivists, and journalists are all exploring how the urban environment is going to change in coming years, as the megapolis becomes more of a reality. As my colleague, Creative Director Scott Nazarian, states in his article in our upcoming print issue of design mind , “Cities challenge us to manage their many networks, all of which must be managed or facilitated by both people and automated systems.” So, who are the people and organizations rethinking our cities? Mathieu Lefevre is the Executive Director of the New Cities Foundation , a new global platform for innovation and exchange on the future of urbanization. I discussed the future of the connected city with him,, the places that are getting urbanization right, and technology’s role in these transformations.

I’m pleased to announce that a major international book publisher has purchased the worldwide rights to my next book, A More Beautiful Question: An Inquiry into the Value of Inquiry . The book was recently bought at auction by Bloomsbury, the highly-regarded publisher that brought Harry Potter into the world. I hope they can bring a tiny bit of Harry’s magic to this book.
