HYPE Innovation

DECEMBER 21, 2016

As we start to close out our 2016 year, apart from the rush to finish certain tasks off, it is a time of reflection and some forward thinking to welcome in the New Year. From my standpoint I am simply amazed at how the world seems to be spinning faster and faster. I am convinced my working days are shorter or the clock is moving faster. I never seem to finish what I had intended to complete by the end of a day or week.

Hi Stephen, that was a good video. You have put out your thought on having three sets of people, the seekers, the solvers and the experimenters. It has always been that solvers had a group of people within them who would experiment, iterate and investigate new solution for innovation. You are proposing, the solvers to be independent people.

Lili Ermezei, Creative Strategy Director at Wonder Agency, makes the case in this terrific blog post that, "Being gritty is essential for successful design projects." I agree wholeheartedly. Some teams struggle during the design thinking process generate meaningful insights from their field research. They settle for conclusions and interpretations that are superficial.
