Le design thinking est une méthodologie participative d’innovation ou de recherche de solutions très prometteuse. Elle est dérivée de la manière de concevoir des designers.
Quels sont les postulats du design thinking et en quoi favorisent-ils l’innovation ? À tel point que les plus prestigieuses universités américaines, et l’ESSEC en France l’ont déjà intégré à leurs programmes…
Le premier postulat porté par le design thinking, et le design en général, est la connaissance extrêmement approfondie de sa cible, en termes de besoins conscients et inconscients.

Health and fitness apps are blowing up. But before you download one, you might want to do a little digging into its privacy and security policies.
According to a study released Tuesday by the San Diego, California-based Privacy Rights Clearinghouse, many of the most popular wellness apps carry privacy risks for users. The report, which evaluated 43 free and paid apps, found that many apps lack privacy policies, send information without encryption and transmit user data to third-parties (like advertisers, ad networks and analytics companies) without informing users.
“Data security and privacy – from a technical standpoint – is abysmal,” said Beth Givens, founder and director of the privacy-focused non-profit.
Privacy and security issues are hardly confined to health and fitness apps. But given the often sensitive nature of health data stored on wellness apps, which can range from weight loss trackers to blood glucose monitors, apps used for health purposes should be adhering to a much higher standard of privacy and security protection, Givens said.
For its report, the Clearinghouse focused on the top 20 paid apps in the health and fitness categories in Google Play and Apple’s App Store, as well as 23 of the most popular free wellness apps on both platforms. While the Clearinghouse chose not to name the apps in its report, some of those apps could have included Nike+ Running, Runkeeper, Lose It! and WebMD.

"What we do is a short demonstration of things that can be done with each program, then let them discover, experiment, find out how things work. The 'undo' button is the magical tool enabling them to try things and go back if it does not look right. We don't interfere or tell them what is right and wrong, just answer their questions and point them in the right direction. They help each other too, one discovers and they share."

Henry Chesbrough, the father of open innovation discusses key aspects of this largely new and challenging innovation model: its evolution, its applicability and most importantly, its essential role in facilitating knowledge creation for the future.
Excerpt from Henry's interview with Innovation Management:
There is actually more value not in coming up with yet another building block of technology, but rather in coming up with the architecture that connects these things together in useful ways that solves real problems before other people do.
There is a myth that implementing a marketing technology point solution is a bad idea. Like giving your significant other a bathroom scale as a birthday present is a bad idea. First aid kit sold separately.
Key excerpt...
If you can adopt one or two conglomerate solutions to implement the majority of your marketing technology strategy, that’s terrific. Conglomerate solutions can serve as the backbone of your marketing technology infrastructure. Other things being equal, the fewer different software packages you have to integrate and manage, the better.
However, other things aren’t always equal. There are two reasons why you would want to supplement those conglomerate solutions with point solutions to achieve greater marketing impact:
The capability you want isn’t included in your conglomerate solution.The capability you want isn’t differentiated enough in your conglomerate solution.

About 6 years ago, I started a company focused on the automated creation of landing pages, from personalized URLs to highly customized landing pages to whatever was required in the post click environment. In other words...a point solution. Here's the issue that Scott does NOT cover: the conglomerate solution offers the same functionality, so why should the prospect pay more for a point solution (and by pay: cost of application + cost of maintenance). Very difficult to justify.
Une étude récente a montré que le travail de groupe « affaiblit la créativité et les capacités intellectuelles ». Ça n’est pas une surprise, car les conditions habituelles du travail collectif génèrent davantage de craintes que de confiance mutuelle, libérant au passage toutes les expressions lourdingues de l’égo, frein majeur au travail collaboratif.
Avoir un égo sans trique est malheureux, mais ce qui compte c'est d'avoir un égo excentrique.
Regardez comment on peut faire pour associer tous les égos, c'est si facile et ça change le monde, il suffit d'adhérer et de nous donner un petit coup de main pour participer à l'aventure : http://www.soyons-ami.fr/forum/viewforum.php?f=21
"In preparing for professional development on the topic of Digital Citizenship ...I have been searching for a resource to share on the importance of modeling these skills...I know that teaching in isolation is not usually as effective as taking advantage of teachable moments – when students are actually online and pursuing a learning task to reinforce appropriate behavior, safety, and application of skills."
This infographic was designed by Nancy White using Piktograph when she was not able to find what she was looking for. Have you considered using "teachable moments" for demonstrating digital citizenship? She provides many great ideas to help you do so.
Comment les idées deviennent-elles contagieuses ? La thèse comparant certaines idées à des “virus du cerveau” ne date pas d’hier. Dans son livre Le Gène égoïste, paru en 1976, Richard Dawkins avait créé la notion de mèmes, analogues “mentaux” des gènes, qui étaient capables de s’autorépliquer d’un cerveau à l’autre, et qui, à l’instar des créatures vivantes, cherchaient avant tout à maximiser leur capacité de reproduction. Par la suite, certains avaient essayé de donner corps à une nouvelle science, la mémétique, se basant sur cette notion. L’idée n’a jamais vraiment pris, et peu de chercheurs (à l’exception peut être du philosophe Daniel Dennett et de l’anthropologue des religionsPascal Boyer) ont vraiment continué à travailler sur ces bases. En 2005, le Journal of Memeticsfermait définitivement ses portes après huit années d’existence.
