Judging the potential of #ideas is difficult- we don't want to waste resources,but also don't want to shoot down great ideas that just don't fit our existing structures and systems. This is a particularly prominent issue in supporting radical creativity. #research #norddesign2024

Interested in how radical #creativity could be used to co-create better futures? We're joining forces to pilot a new summer school at @AaltoDF, free for all @AaltoUniversity students and open to anyone. Enrolment now open, check out aalto.fi/en/news/are-yo…


The biggest challenge the pandemic brought for #productdevelopment was in dreaming up new initiatives & fostering culture. Lessons learned in scoping & resourcing innovation under uncertainty continue to apply, check out our new #research with @HolttaOtto: tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.10…


Early career professionals bring in new ideas to companies, yet often lack networks etc to take these further. #Research w @Sgilmartin8 &Sheppard finds that #innovation can happen in the sidelines,but needs recognition from managers&colleagues to flourish. doi.org/10.1111/caim.1…

Managing R&D is managing complexity - many moving parts, uncertainty and it takes a village. @satuvirkkunen from @KONECorporation shares how cancelled projects can take on a new, better life in new hands and perspectives - sometimes a bit if distance can be good. @AaltoDF #PDX

Curiosity, courage & cooperation - it takes a balance of strategic risk taking + exploration to innovate. @lindforslp @NesteGlobal uses portfolio thinking to practice this, with 50% developing current business, 40% next generation business & 10% open exploration. #PDX @AaltoDF

”You need to focus” is often said to get people to stay in their lane - @pvesterbacka encourages thinking instead about what you can do so well that it is fan-worthy, not getting stuck in a specific domain/tech. @aaltodf #PDX #productdevelopment @AaltoUniversity

Patterns of high-performing #design teams: Conceptual design: User interactions focused on user cognition, emotions AND behaviour Detail design: Increasingly specific user data w focus on implementation Mediocre teams: focus on user behavior only & fail to move to implementation


#minatutkin @AaltoDF:llä miten tuotekehittäjät ja muotoilijat voivat ajaa muutosta kestävään liiketoimintaan - etteivät hyvät ideat jää vain ideoiksi. #myresearch looks at how designers & developers can work as change agents for sustainable business, turning ideas into reality.


#Engineering + bio-based design + #arts =pathways for broadening interest in & impact of technology. Dr Shirey shared results from helping faculty do this, with students now eg looking into how doctors can be trained to recognize heart issues from heart-beat based music. @ASEE_DC
