Abstract Design thinking is hailed as a cornerstone for innovation. It has teamwork as a basis, yet we know little of how the design thinking team operates and collaborates. In this study, we investigate both quantitatively and qualitatively 51 design thinking teams as they work on an innovation project. We seek especially how they communicate and collaborate while working with design thinking tools. Teams are divided in three according to performance. Findings suggest that the highest performing groups utilize the design thinking method more disciplined than the other groups. To achieve this, they employ more authority behaviors and less supportive behaviors than the other groups. This disciplined approach to the method as a process and employed tools (such as brainstorming) in turn enable important team processes such as team reflexivity and psychological safety. Based on these findings, we suggest that a disciplined approach at the team level towards design thinking enhance innovative performance.

The One

Over the course of its history, design has never lost sight of nature as a term of comparison, sometimes taking from it, sometimes moving away from it. To investigate the complex relationship between the two terms, design and nature, we cannot ignore the evolution of man and how it has been profoundly influenced by technological innovation, which is the most evident result of science. Tracing an evolutionary line of design thinking, a double trajectory can be registered: on the one hand the tension towards progress and the myth of the machine, on the other hand the idea of a harmonious co-evolution with nature and the need to be reconnected with it. Besides, it is progress that allows mankind to thoroughly investigate natural mechanisms and make them their own. Contemporary design, autonomous but at the same time increasingly interdisciplinary, has got blurred boundaries which intersect with the most advanced fields of biological sciences. This evolution has opened up a whole new field of investigation that multiplies the opportunities of innovation, especially from a sustainability-oriented point of view. Today the dramatic breaking of the balance between man and nature has turned into the concept of permanent emergency, which is now matter of greatest interest for design, a design that attempts to react, mend, adapt to change in an authentically resilient way.

Organizational research has explored how design thinking can fulfill the human needs of customers or users, but it has largely overlooked how it is shaped by the designer’s subjective experiences. In an attempt to stimulate greater scholarly interest in exploring the designer behind the process of design thinking, we integrate materials from three interviews conducted with the renowned designer Johannes Torpe. Throughout the interviews, Johannes stresses the interpersonal aspects of his work, especially how he interacts with customers and how he fosters (and also controls) the creativity of the other designers that he employs in his studio. As our conversation unfolds, Johannes responds to our questions as an evolving creative person, a celebrated designer, a manager of a creative collective of designers, a top designer employed by a large corporation, and a business owner of a celebrated Danish design studio.

Theory of Machines and Mechanism as a major technology foundation course of mechanical engineering plays an important role in connecting professional education. From the perspective of inspiring mechanical design thinking, put forward the idea of classroom teaching reform for the curriculum. The knowledge of the curriculum is combed; the target ability of the curriculum is specified; the teaching plans are designed to inspire design thinking; the teaching mode is reformed, and the extracurricular learning mode is enhanced. This paper provides a reference for the classroom teaching reform in the other mechanical course.

Much design theory research seeks to create, evaluate, improve or optimize design methods. Whether that research focuses on design thinking, tools, methods, or education, short design problems are often provided to participants in order to evaluate the effects of the variables being tested. When designing and creating such problems, certain characteristics may influence design outcomes: experience and exposure to the design problems vary between participants, and each problem may be more or less favorable to the controlled variable. In this paper we conjecture a small set of design problem characteristics that may influence experimental outcomes, and we discuss two experiments targeted at uncovering this influence. In our first experiment we examine differences in evaluation metrics between two design problems. In a follow up experiment we correlate the hypothesized characteristics to the variances in experiment outcome. These early results assist to further compare and contrast the empirical differences in common evaluation metrics, as well as show how familiarity and extent of the subjects’ knowledge of a design problem influence these metrics. We also expose the potential for interaction between the design method and the design problem.

Corruption Index

Indonesia recently ranked 96th for corruption index from 180 countries, means that still a lot of effort needed to reduce the number. The Imposing of laws for those who commit corruption and bribery have been implemented. Moreover, Government and Schools though people and student how to prevent it. Corruption becomes the main topic in everyday news. This paper tries to propose another action in order to reduce it namely Intrapreneurship. Intrapreneurship is similar to entrepreneurship, the first term refer to employees develops new business ideas for their companies within the company. On the other hand, Entrepreneurships defines as someone who starts up a new business with creativity to gain profit for better living using their own resources. This paper with design thinking method aims to find out some strategies how company could implement this program and at the end could reduce corruption.
