IDEX DESIGN THINKING CAMPOCTOBER 2013

The IDEX Design Thinking Camp brought design thinking to stage zero of the value creation process by questioning plans and notions and opening up possibilities. Combining facet of big Dreams, visions and scenarios, supporting them with hard facts, plans and prototypes. To create a compelling venture argument, that blends critical and creative thinking. To take original ideas to market as projects or ventures.

IDEXIDEX Accelerator is a career launch-pad for aspiring social enterprise practitioners.IDEX’s 6 month program offers intense field experience and leadership training curriculum that equips fellows with the equivalent of 2 years marketable work experience that’s relevant to social enterprise employers.

DREAM:IN DREAM:IN is a positive and open movement, an innovative global network and an organisation based in Bangalore, designed to empower the human resource locally and globally, more so, in emerging economies and to create a fresh new paradigm of growth and development. DREAM:IN creates systems, tools, and methodologies to grapple with complexity, to create new value with business and society, positively and imaginatively.

“Engineering, medicine, business, architecture, and painting are concerned not with the necessary but with the contingent – not with how things are, but how they might be – in short, with design.

Everyone designs who devises courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones. Design, so construed, is the core of all professional thinking.”

Nobel laureate Herbert Simon (1969)

PRE CAMP: DREAMCATCHING Prior to the design camp, Dreams of the fellows were captured. Serious questioning about the plans was also undertaken in order to help prepare the Dreamers for the camp and to make the plan even more actionable.

CAMP DAY 1 & DAY 2: DREAMSCAPING 5-6 OCTOBER 2013

A Dreamscape is a creative scenario building tool and methodology. That helps to sketch out a Dream or an idea in vivid detail.

In an open innovation session, a Dreamscape maps and generates blueprints to co-create new value via sustainable initiatives or business plans. For products, services, systems, applications, that are potentially sustainable enterprises of the future. Created by multidisciplinary professionals, they are the starting point for collaboration-of people with different skills, experience and expertise.

• The focus was on practical work - to bring the idea alive, to make it as believable as possible.

• Each team had the involvement of an external resource/ mentor, typically a subject matter expert. The mentors will helped the Dreamers to shape their ventures and bring their idea alive.

• From a knowledge sharing perspective, various perspectives presented in Bruce Nussbaum’s book Creative Intelligence, on Business Design, Roger Martin and some successful entrepreneurial models developed by DREAM:IN were touched upon

• The Dreamers also had the opportunity to re-record their Dreams, to showcase their plans and prototypes to pitch for funding.
