Youth sports is facing a crisis that threatens the ecosystem of youth sports. Innovation—the ability to generate and execute new ideas—is needed to stem the negative tide of a declining and aging officiating pool and improve the recruitment and retention of sports officials. Without creative problem solving and innovation by many different stakeholders in youth sports, the benefits that children receive from participating in sports are threatened by the lack of qualified officials to referee competitive games and matches. This case pushes students well past the news headlines of angry parents yelling at officials and deep into several problem spaces that emerge from the application of design thinking. Students are introduced to design thinking and prompted to innovate solutions to problems framed using the design thinking process. Students can select a preidentified problem space, then work through an ideation session facilitated by the instructor.

<p>There is a growing concern about the shortage of sports officials and its impact on organized youth sport. The purpose of this study was to gain a better understanding of psychosocial factors that impact involvement with youth sports officiating by comparing and contrasting the experiences of officials from two distinct sports. In-depth interviews were conducted with baseball umpires and lacrosse officials. Resulting themes were classified as either contributors or constraints to involvement with officiating. The most striking difference between the two groups was the support provided in terms of mentorship, training, and administrative consideration. The baseball umpires received greater support and this was a key factor in overcoming constraints and fostering a sense of community. Implications and strategies for recruiting and retaining officials are discussed.  </p>

Is Design

Collaboration between craftsmen and product designers is one of the solutions for sustainable development of IKM products. Craftsmen need to be introduced to the creative process in producing new products. One that can be applied is Design Thinking. This process is considered in accordance with the way the craftsman works which generally "learning by doing" and not theoretical. Design Thinking process introduced in a workshop activity. The process of finding ideas begins by stimulating empathy to produce new ideas that are different from what they have been doing so far. Through this workshop several solutions were produced in the form of prototypes. This activity also produces a better work pattern that is more creative and productive in generating new ideas. The usage of story-telling in expressing ideas or thoughts is also preferebly and effective as a medium of discussion among craftsmen. Abstrak Kolaborasi antara perajin dan desainer produk merupakan salah satu Perajin perlu dikenalkan pada .Proses ini merupakan alat pemecahan masalah yang berpusat pada manusia, menekankan kolaborasi dan spontanitas. Proses ini dianggap sesuai dengan pola kerja perajin yang umumnya “learning by doing”, praktis dan bukan teoritis. Proses pencarian ide dimulai dengan merangsang empati untuk menghasilkan ide baru yang berbeda dari yang selama ini dihasilkan. Melalui workshop ini, dihasilkan beberapa solusi dalam bentuk prototype produk baru. Kegiatan ini juga menghasilkan sebuah pola kerja yang lebih baik, kreatif dan produktif dalam mewujudkan ide. Metode bercerita dalam mengutarakan ide atau pikiran juga lebih digemari dan efektif sebagai media diskusi diantara para perajin.

New Ideas

In science, safety can seem unfashionable. Satisfying safety requirements can slow the pace of research, make it cumbersome, or cost significant amounts of money. The logic of rules can seem unclear. Compliance can feel like a negative incentive. So besides the obvious benefit that safety keeps one safe, why do some scientists preach "safe science is good science"? Understanding the principles that underlie this maxim might help to create a strong positive incentive to incorporate safety into the pursuit of groundbreaking science.<div><br></div><div>This essay explains how safety can enhance the quality of an experiment and promote innovation in one's research. Being safe induces a researcher to have <b>greater control</b> over an experiment, which reduces the <b>uncertainty</b> that characterizes the experiment. Less uncertainty increases both <b>safety</b> and the <b>quality</b> of the experiment, the latter including <b>statistical quality</b> (reproducibility, sensitivity, etc.) and <b>countless other properties</b> (yield, purity, cost, etc.). Like prototyping in design thinking and working under the constraint of creative limitation in the arts, <b>considering safety issues</b> is a hands-on activity that involves <b>decision-making</b>. Making decisions leads to new ideas, which spawns <b>innovation</b>.</div>

Creative Problem

Globalization is complex, dynamic, and unpredictable. A commensurably dynamic mode of analysis is thus required for the necessary task of comprehending globalization’s intricacies and consequences. Adopting a creative, problem-based technique, this chapter develops a global approach to problem orientation. Irregular migration is the topic focus used to map out how a complex problem space can be constructed and how notions of complexity can be imaginatively applied to explore avenues for global response. A global problem orientation accepts that new knowledge can form at the interstices of different systems or schools of thought. The creative–imaginative technique discussed in this chapter encourages the use of divergent models or paradigms in tandem to enable thick description and deep analysis of complex problem spaces.
