Session Descriptions: Rapid Fire 1: Design's Role as an Innovation Discipline in Relation to Design For Six Sigma
Design Thinking as a discipline, as a process and as a mindset, is playing a new role in corporations nowadays, enabling organizations to develop and nurture a new and successful approach to innovation. At 3M Design has been evolving within a strong traditional culture of innovation, interacting with a unique mix of variables, from the 15% time rule of William McKnight to more current processes such as DFSS. This session will highlight the why and how Design Thinking is growing in relation to those variables. - What’s Design Thinking and how it is evolving successfully in a tech driven corporation: a brief history of the Design journey of 3M.
- People in the process of Innovation. The profile of the Design Thinker as internal entrepreneur and innovator.
- Design Thinkers, the unexpected variable in the DFSS process.
- The holy grail in the Innovation process: the magic balance between intuition and data, risk and control. Rapid Fire 2: Strategic Commitment to Open Innovation at DSM
Royal DSM N.V. made a strategic decision to transform the company and build a new business portfolio based on a strong commitment to Open Innovation as a driving force and source of competitive advantage. By leveraging key technical strengths in opportunity spaces defined by in-depth analysis of global mega-trends, DSM has realized exceptional success in markets, and with product platforms, that were not fully specified, at the time of strategy development, but identified as a result of pursuing the new Open Innovation strategy. Many noteworthy elements of DSM’s innovation organization culture are: Use of a “Business Incubator” within the DSM Innovation Center, use of venturing, licensing, acquisitions, establishment of a dedicated product launch support team, and a willingness to exit profitable basic businesses that are no longer consistent with corporate strategy. Despite the downturn in the global economy, DSM has not reduced the commitment and resources toward Innovation and Product Development. Rapid Fire 3: A Template for 21st Century Product Innovators
Scientific Management worked for 20th century, but at a dear cost - We are breeding out the very innovation on which we sought to capitalize. Local-motors is one of the prototypical 21st century companies, pulling together all of these new approaches to product development and commerce. Get the product right earlier: Mass customization, right product for each consumer, marketed successfully during the creative process Community input and co-creation for innovation/design Micro-Factory Retail: Distributed local manufacturing to provide a much closer feedback loop to customers Supportive of strong market and worker/employee communities: Community engagement Providing intrinsic value to customer's lives: Be prepared to "curate" other companies goods in order to serve customers more fully
