In their book Innovation by Design, authors Thomas Lockwood and Edgar Papke share the results of an in-depth study of some of the world’s most innovative organizations, providing insight into ten key attributes of innovation and how aligned design thinking delivers meaningful solutions and extraordinary results, including: - The 10 ways leaders can create and develop effective cultures of innovation. - How to use design thinking as a powerful method to drive employee creativity and innovation. - How to leverage the natural influence of the collective imagination to produce the “pull effect” of engagement, creativity and risk taking. - How leaders can take the “Fifth Step of Design” to create organization awareness.
Interaction designers are (should be) at the cutting edge of understanding experiences and interactions, and can drive towards the fifth order of design to help their organizations become more aware. If done intentionally, this can have a significant impact on delivering organization results and enhancing individual careers.
This workshop is not about design thinking. But we would like to use the most relevant parts of our research and collaboration in our workshop at Interaction 19 to help participants make their current positions more relevant and also reinvent their personal and professional futures.
Outline
We will start with an overview of corporate culture, the three types of corporate culture and the three types of leadership styles. We connect this to 12 culture keys of any organization. We will summarize the Fifth Order of Design, which is about building Awareness and Understanding to help solve any problem. We can support this with elements including:
- The Pull Factor
- The Right Problems
- Culture Awareness
- Curious Confrontation
- Co-Creation
- Open Spaces
- Whole Communication
- Aligned Leadership
- Purpose
After breaking this all down into easy to understand parts, we will help participants design their road map for the future.
