Today I taught 20 something business developers from DONG Energy about prototyping ideas in order to explore, test or communicate them more efficiently. Here’s a phone shot of some of the tools they could choose from. I was very impressed by the participants’ energy and work. + a pleasure to work with Mette (head of etrans) & Morten (from Experience Strategy).
Update: More photos from the 2 day workshop now online at etrans’ flickr

A little video of the etrans, Designskolen Kolding and Tongji University collabo in Shanghai October 2011, and a teaser for the upcoming etrans event on December 15 where the resulting electric car service concepts and interior models will be on display.
After a break this fall, my photoblog bophoto is again being updated with a daily shot- from the archives or fresh for the memory card. This is one posted today is from my trip to Shanghai in October and taken at the Alto Design Factory on campus of Tongji University.
Currently using the Omm Writer created by Herraiz Soto and co, making me concentrate on getting some writing done for an upcoming etrans exhibition.
About a month ago I helped facilitate aDesign Summit with the goal of collecting input to the next Danish design policy Design2020. I was asked to help out by the Danish Design Association and they now released the output in a ‘white paper’ for all (who can read Danish) to see.
The summit gathered 85 profiles representing design in Denmark: business, education, ministries, organizations etc. who discussed the 4 topics which were:
- Design as a growth engine
- Branding Danish Design
- Internationalization
- Education and research
the later one which I facilitated. See a few more shots at flickr.
“The advice I like to give young artists, or really anybody who’ll listen to me, is not to wait around for inspiration. Inspiration is for amateurs; the rest of us just show up and get to work. If you wait around for the clouds to part and a bolt of lightning to strike you in the brain, you are not going to make an awful lot of work. All the best ideas come out of the process; they come out of the work itself. Things occur to you. If you’re sitting around trying to dream up a great art idea, you can sit there a long time before anything happens. But if you just get to work, something will occur to you and something else will occur to you and somthing else that you reject will push you in another direction. Inspiration is absolutely unnecessary and somehow deceptive.”
