Episode 1: A Fresh Lens on Design Thinking

We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. Albert Einstein

We are at a Strategic Inflection Point (SIP) on our Planet when there is a need to Pivot to a New Transformational Pathway to Progress life on our planet. This demands a rewiring of the mindsets that we have come to cultivate and perpetrate. This new video series of 10 episodes from Giggr Technologies highlights the need to move the needle of Leading by Design; shifting the emphasis from Thinking to Learning.

What do we have to “Learn” to harness the “Power” to create Solutions that are Sustainable:

  1. The Power of Access to People. Empowering rather than Exploiting.
  2. The Power of Connecting Technology Transversely across the Seven Stations of Life in a Flow including Environment, Education, Health, Wealth, Mobility, Technology & Governance.
  3. The Power of Digital (Data) driving Role Based Digital Identity Creating Intellectual Property (IP) across 1. Customer / Consumer; 2. Worker / Associate; 3. Technology (Devices, Wearables, Scanners, Sensors and IOT); 4. Shareholder; 5. Stakeholder; 6. Business Partner; 7. Vendors and 8. Society.

Design Learning is a method to engage Humans Dissolve Problems; Acting with Accountability. Subbu Iyer

It is about time we stopped this vicious cycle of Creating and Solving problems. The cost and waste of such activity is no longer sustainable. And we need to stop talking about future as though it is some distance away. It is already upon us.

The Key constructs of this shift from Thinking to Learning are:

  1. The emphasis on Data Driven Individuals (DDI) before Data Driven Enterprises (DDE).
  2. The Emphasis on Life before Business (Commerce).
  3. The need to distinguish Digital Technology from Information Technology.
  4. The emphasis on Cognitive Intelligence before Artificial Intelligence.
  5. The emphasis on developing Solutions before Applications.
