Getting really creative yesterday with Stephan Schwer, Anett Schönfelder and Isabel Rueda during the prototyping phase of the Design Thinking workshop organised by the HPI d-school wonderful coaches Marc Stussak, Łukasz Łata and Clara Wieker. We had a lot of fun with creating a digital health chatbot BEEhealthy.
During the Digital Health Innovation Forum at HPI in Potsdam

The last two days the FIZ DiTraRe team participated at the FIZ Karlsruhe Research Retreat on top of the Koenigstuhl mountain above the city of Heidelberg. How to improve our research was the basic question being addressed via Design Thinking methodology.

Greetings from the FIZ Karlsruhe Research Retreat at Königstuhl, above the city of Heidelberg. I had the pleasure to introduce and conduct a Design Thinking session together with 40 brilliant colleagues to work on how to improve our research

Out of the many things that I love about my job, one of them is that I get to have deep discussions with experts from not just #academia as we work towards building communities of practice. Today, in our Expert Dialogues session for the Digitization project, I learnt so much about human-centered design and design-thinking, something they never taught me when I was a computer science engineering undergrad.

One of the consortium members shared that they'd built this really beautiful app for a rural community in #India, spent a few crore INR in the process, and then no one ended up using it! I'm glad they are a member of this consortium and were willing to share this so that we don't make the same mistakes! Also learnt that while community members may answer positively to all your survey questions, that doesn't mean they'll actually use whatever digital solution you build - you need to embed yourself within the community and engage in dialogues to get to the crux of the problems they face.

Two of our PhD Fellows are working in the Himalayan region and during the meeting were facing bandwidth issues. Something we definitely need to keep in mind - if we want to design a solution for communities with limited internet connectivity.

1. Back in the pool today, missed #swimming a lot
2. Spent all evening catching up on my studies / design work on my #DesignThinking module & I'm happy with the results so far
3. Playtested my possible new commander in #MagicTheGathering Arena (1v1 brawl) and, yeah, she's #bae

I don't generally share stuff from Forbes but here is something interesting...

Cost Of Climate Change: Why Saving Our Planet Now Is Cheaper

https://www.forbes.com/sites/nilsrokke/2024/03/20/cost-of-climate-change-why-saving-our-planet-now-is-cheaper/?sh=576db88e79ee

"The economic and social imperatives for addressing climate change are clear. The financial crises of 1988 and 2007 saw vast sums allocated to revitalize the economic system, yet the investment in addressing the most pressing global issue of our time, the nature and climate crisis, remains insufficient.

Similar arguments can be made as for the Covid pandemic. Assessment from the World Economic Forum (WEF) puts the global cost of the pandemic at between $8 and $16 trillion. Global GDP is approximately $100 trillion. Avoiding the crisis through preparedness measures would have cost 500 times less.

This disparity in response is alarming, especially when considering the tangible signs of ecological distress, such as the noticeable decline in insect populations.

Government intervention is a must, as the market alone cannot rectify this crisis. The framework for sustainable market operations must be established, encouraging a collective movement towards a cleaner, healthier planet.

The cost of saving our world is surprisingly affordable, and the real expense lies in continued inaction. The time for decisive action is now."

Given that this math has been clear for decades at this point when will be acknowledge that there are wealthy individuals and multinational corporations with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo if not a structural mandate to maximize profits on behalf of shareholder? Changing the fundamentals of corporate structure and shinning a light on where real power and control actually come from seems critical to our survival. Thoughts?

Currently sleeping the sleep of the righteous, @andrew was up way too late building tools to fend off the current wave of fedi spam, playing whack-a-mole with bad accounts, and getting fedi friends up and running with their own blocklists.

I’d like to convene a discussion this week or next to do a mini retro on this attack and some #designthinking work around fedi spam fighting tools. If you’re interested in the discussion, @ me your email or send one to spamretro at hypatia dot ca and I’ll loop you in on it

Would love to have a proper UR/UX person on the call, I’m a mere amateur at that part

Edit to add #mastoadmin #fediblockmeta for reach

What do you mean the era of #DesignThinking has come to an end? It was part of my teaching this semester. So that happens when you go with trendy myths for once instead of critically reflect on them from a safe distance. Of course, it is a scheme, more an idea than a method, or at least it is soft and amorphous enough to fit in the necessities of business profitability.

Now I read design must reflect stronger on one's own role and subjectivity, must think about ecology rather than users, must be open about wicked and complex problems.
I am not sure, am I the naive one not noting that you should have excluded these aspects from design thinking? The same happened to me with innovation theory. I am aware that you can and some do conceptualize innovation in a non-systemic manner, but why? Why would one do that? You know, rebranding that stuff as eco or reflexive is just a second burning phase of something that was a product for sale from the beginning. Doesn't mean it couldn't teach or inspire us at all.

I've been making a list (of tabs) and checking it twice… so hop into the latest #BookmarkBeat and join me for a conversation about AI, creativity and how to fix this field we call "design"
