Design Teamwork

Like it or not, a human being cannot survive alone. Thus, we have to learn how to live with others or do something more complicated like working. Especially in Design Thinking class that we have to learn in both theory and practice with other people.

Alice and Janja once showed us this vintage video about how Ideo, the famous creative agency, works and keeps creating a great campaign.

And here are some issue that I agree and want to point out in this blog.

No Bossy Here

It was explained in the video that “in a very innovative culture, you can’t have a kind of hierarchy boss, and the next person down”. I totally agree with this statement. Everyone has different skill, which is a good asset to the team. So it might not be a good idea to authorize someone to decide everything.

Learn From Experience

Lots of ideas weren’t born in a room, you have to get out and find them. They didn’t just waiting for the miracle to happen, but ask the real users is one of the keys to success.

Embrace Diversity

From this video, you can see that they came from a different background. These experience from everyone can help developing ideas for the best product.

One Conversation at a time

I absolutely agree with this one. We will never go anywhere if keep changing focus on what we’re discussing about. So make sure everyone is on the same track with everyone.

Another thing that I like about this video is the quote “We are expert in the process how to design stuff”. Because we can’t be good in everything, but I believe that with a good teamwork, anything can happen.
