Developing computational design creativity systems? Possible? Yes.


Can the basis for creativity be automated to determine design success? Yes & here’s how.

By modeling the key characteristics of Besemer’s creative product semantic scale for product assessment we see three dimensions & nine attributes that can be used for judgments of what designs will make it and which won’t. In Developing computational design creativity systems the basis for such a system is outlined and presented as a roadmap and just a question of delivery.

The Gamification of Innovation


When it comes to creativity and innovation is it a game? Only when gamification is applied. Here’s why it just might effect the capability to bring true “game” changers to the users.
 
With the advent of turning creativity into a model for aggressive x vs. y team output comes the necessity to ask: is survival the model for envisioning the undefined. Memes and the scientific model require that reason and experimentation drive the creation of novel ways to solve complex end user value. In The Gamification of Innovation we see alternative models. The out come: anything but games people play rather ways to combat derailing models of distraction in getting to the meat of breakthroughs.

Design Leaders – how to make them


Is there a delineation between designers and managers and can there be a back and forth training? Yes and no. 




In Delineating Design Leaders we see the clear identification and breakdown of the way that design and design managers are utilized. Can there be a difference in the way that these groups operate and the way they are able to encourage each other as a mechanism for further creative output? Yes. The key is content and creation. As evidence clearly uncovers, it is design leaders, who relentlessly focus on product and operate as a profoundly design-centric function involving a ‘hands-on’ approach. These individuals provide the vision that is catalyzed by actively leading designers and broader team members to produce differentiation and rapid change in response to demanding environmental factors [ibid].

Hurricanes And Dolphins Getting The Most Out Of Design & Gender


What is the connection between gender and design? What are the ways gender can be used as a strategic factor in design and innovation. Here’s how. 




The functional mechanism for design and product languages is clearly detailed in
Hurricanes And Dolphins Getting The Most Out Of Design & Gender in how, by switching the product languages it was possible to highlight how gender values are connected to each design and each artifact and therefore a better connection with audiences for who products are designed.

Internal innovation team are internal design consultancies. How?


How are firms that focus on innovation keep the flame alive? Creating and running their own internal design consultancies. 




When research turned to the investigation of how design thinking and design consultancies are able to keep creativity as a mechanism for continued growth alive, several key metrics were developed to measure this. In Identifying Challenges for Industrial Design Consultancy Services the underpinnings of this research is identified. With this, an exact model of how to keep the flame of design alive is articulated and enumerated.

Ready for VR Designed Products? Design is.

Oculus Rift purchased by Facebook and Google’s got Cardboard, the question is only when augmented reality will emerge. And where will it emerge most easily? Retail.

 

iGNITIATE_Ready for VR Designed Products -  Retail is 

In the detailed analysis of: Technology acceptance modeling of augmented reality at the point of sale we see the full underpinnings of the key technologies and design implications for such an undertaking. The question now is the ubiquity and mechanisms for which new design paradigms are able to emerge for the basic use of such systems and in a manner where people are unable to live without it. Where will this hit first? Who will it hit first? Children are the leaders.
