Very happy with a great response to our new book, ARRIVE. Lots of new discussions connecting Design Thinking to strategic innovation. A good time for more of this.

@GalvinMary You could excuse sub-optimal decisions in a crisis, but not here because there are much better solutions available. it's the first, conscious big mistake.

Very sensible comments by @carlobrien in today's @IrishTimes. "We are not all suited to traditional academic approaches. Apprenticeships, for example, offer excellent “earn and learn” options." irishtimes.com/news/education…

Excellent, earthy inspirational story of insights and success from James Murphy @Lifes2goodIRL #GlobalAmbition

Home automation means never having an obvious way for guests to turn on a light.

Learned more in half hour from Lisa Simpson @DeloitteIreland about Blockchain than any other single source. Excellent! #innovation #mscdif #bordbia

Excellent presentation on trends and drivers in food innovation from Karl Kennedy @DeloitteIreland #innovation #mscdif

I’m pretty sure the products & services we’re building today are far more sophisticated & nuanced than milkshakes & candy bars. Yet, many examples used in Jobs To Be Done method descriptions are only those. Frankly, it’s a bit weird. And makes it hard to get behind it.
