As we discussed on the last DesignX, we are a community of scholars and our interaction, esp. DesignX but also CDR is what we make of it. Let us try to initiate a culture of being involved and taking on responsibility. In this sense I have taken the liberty to set up a table indicating every active and in-residence members of DesignX (defined by being in the DesignX-Lab list, please ask if you want to be added/removed/changed to DesignX-Broadcast) AND his or her current commitment to DesignX and CDR. Find the current state of the arts in the table below ...

About the talk
 +
 
 +
Sustainability! Service economy! Innovative everything! None of these statements will be new to you – in fact they’re so frequently used in describing the visions and missions of companies, organisations, universities, that they’re almost threadbare. But what do they mean for design? And how should we understand them in design research? This talk will describe sustainable product/service innovation as a business perspective, design object and a research field. Current activities and future paths for this field will be outlined.

About the speaker

Tim McAloone is currently on sabbatical from DTU as visiting scholar at CDR. He has worked in the area of design research for the past eighteen years, the latest thirteen of which at DTU. Tim researchers, teaches and consults in the areas of sustainable design and product/service-system design, and is leader of a number of research projects within these areas. He was recently chair for the 18th International Conference on Engineering Design, ICED11, held in Copenhagen this August, and is currently recharging through inspiring exchanges with professionals in the Bay Area. Tim will be visiting CDR until mid January 2012.<br>

About the talk<br>
 +
 
 +
Salminen has been a visiting researcher at CDR for two months. He is interested in collective intelligence and innovation processes. Collective intelligence refers to ability of human groups to solve problems more effectively than individuals. Due to rise of crowdsourcing and social media the term has gained wide interest recently. Salminen will give a short presentation on results of a literature review about the current state of collective intelligence research and discuss possible implications for innovation processes.

About the talk

Date:&nbsp;11th of October

The likelihood that your design research ideas and the framing of these is the best you can do is clearly zero. To reduce the risk of being blindsided from the get-go and experiencing disastrous surprises at the end, ask the crowd. Here, proactive use of social media and online news media is an excellent tool. In this discussion we will examine how the use of LinkedIn, Facebook and The Huffington Post can be leveraged to improve your understanding of a domain by harvesting other professionals and “normal human beings” ideas and knowledge.<br>

Visible Legacy is a an interactive knowledge map of projects and people in the Stanford ecosystem. The user can navigate the connections in context to identify ideal collaborators and find innovation hotspots. The service aims to accelerate transactions such as technology licensing, funded research, endowed chairs and finding experts. Our market is Foundations, VCs, alumni and industry. The service is supported by sponsorships from within our market, and sustainability is planned through add-on services for users. [http://www.visiblelegacy.com www.visiblelegacy.com]

What is User-Centric Design?

 +
About the talk<br>For the upcoming designX meeting, we will be hosting an interactive brainstorming and discussion session on the topic: What is User-Centric Design? This question is central to a HPDTRP-sponsored research effort aimed at examining user interaction for the design and development of complex products and systems, across a range of high-technology industries. In this study, we aim to answer the questions: <br>1. Which user groups should designers target within complex, multi-user systems? <br>2. Once “the” user group is identified (if there is only one), then which subjects does one design for within a specific group – a highly advanced and technologically adept lead user, or the average user? <br>3. Does designing with and for particular users and user groups improve the usability, functionality, and novelty of new products and services?
 +
 
 +
To begin exploring these questions, we would like to reach out to the designX community for your thoughts on user-centric methods &amp; theories, as well as existing case studies in this field.

We thank you in advance for your time, and look forward to a lively discussion.

Pia Erkinheimo, the Head of Crowdsourcing in Nokia, will talk about open innovation practices at Nokia, particularly in the context of Ideas Project, Nokia's crowdsourcing initiative. Pia is the founder of Ideas Project. She describes the Ideas Project in the following way:
 +
 
 +
Ideas Project has made its way from a skunk project to a street credible initiative along the raise of the amateurship and democratized innovation. It started from a dream of R&amp;D department of millions, and the reality has landed us somewhere else. You are all familiar with the concept of crowdsourcing, but why crowdsourcing might make sense for a mobile internet company like Nokia? This talk will tell you what crowdsourcing means for R&amp;D, strategy, marketing, ecosystem, “internal” and “external” idea crowdsourcing… and the results reached so far with the help of artificial intelligence.
