[Ailist] Rapid Design Prototyping

[Mark Berns]

Jody,

You might take a look at what IDEO, the design firm, does in terms of rapid
prototyping. I studied with Cooperrider and there was a presentation from
IDEO at the last AI Conference. IDEO follows a process of "deep dive" into
the data, which loosely parallels Discovery. Then there's rapid prototyping,
which can be a high-energy way to design. Look for the Nightline piece from
a few years ago where they hired IDEO to redesign the shopping cart. 

IDEO's site is www.ideo.com.

Roger,

Can you tell me more. I've not heard that term used. 

I'm referring to the work David Cooperrider does taking groups through the
AI Summit process in one day. It appears that rather than developing a
discrete Dream Statement and then going into design, he collapses Dream and
Design, incorporating a right-brain kinesthetic component into Design. Looks
like it's a great way to get a lot done with groups that can dedicate one
day only to strategic planning or other explorations. Key is that it results
in actionable outcomes/"designs". Most of the non-profit groups I work with
can dedicate a full day, but not more to a summit, so rapid design
prototyping sounds like a great fit; I'd just like to see how it works.

Thanks!

Jody
