RE-THINK OUR INNOVATION IMPACTS

Image
Today I lived a situation that makes me think again about evolution / innovation and the effects they bring to society and people. We decided to have breakfast in the center of Almada in a café whose interior space "stopped" in time, at least thirty years ago .... the place was not full, I saw only older residents ...   but the food was simple and, maybe due to te habit, I waited to take the table board, the waiter kindly ask us to see down because she would take the food to our table herself... the people talked to us and wished everything good for our lives, losing (or winning) 5 or 10 minutes to talk about the life and simple things but who show affection and attention to others ... I miss this feeling, this kind of emotion and sense of citizenship / community, values ... made me think what we are doing ... why this constant pressure to have everything "new" to be and be fashionable? Why do we give more importance to this to fashions than to the essence ...

DESIGN THINKING "untruths"!

Image
I keep reading interesting articles about design thinking but most of them replicates the "superficial wisdom" that is installed on the Design Thinking subject! The latest two nerve breaking "untruths"are: 1- DESIGN THINKING WAS BORN 15 years ago! - NO, it was not born 15 years ago !!!! the way Designers Think, their practice, the use of an participative process and human centred approach has always been present in Science / Design Praxis. For example the Nordic Participatory Design movement of the 60s ... 2- Same authors are now-a-days recommending that the Design Thinking model needs to integrate Systems thinking knowledge! - That is not new either! the IDEAS(R)EVOLUTION methodology that I am author has added this systemic vision since its inception and has been duly published since 2009/2010 in different articles and was defended in a PhD thesis in 2016. The problem is a whole set of people who have appropriated "design thinking" as a...
