It’s official! My new book EXPAND: STRETCHING THE FUTURE BY DESIGN co-authored with @jmskibsted is out on 24 May. Learn more and download sample chapter at expandthefuture.com @designcentret @Manyone_design

@JamesAnderson I see the same everywhere. It’s a new way of working and, amongst other, implies new collaborative governance models.

“While in academia… much attention is given to capacity for missions… in practice it is rare for public orgs in charge of missions to invest org or individual learning and training.”

Fab assessment of how the Missions landscape in Europe has evolved. Thanks ⁦@rainerkattel⁩ and ⁦@MazzucatoM⁩. Especially cool to see how missions are opening doors to new ways of working (eg engagement), portfolio approaches, and new forms of measuring public value.

@publicinno @BloombergDotOrg @designcentret @BloombergCities @AspenInstitute Truly enjoyed our collaboration!

We were proud to partner w/ @BloombergDotOrg for the City Innovation Studio at #CityLab2023. Kudos to @designcentret for your design expertise and to all speakers for your insights. Thanks, @BloombergCities & @AspenInstitute for championing city innovation! 🏙️💡

@gquaggiotto @AkshayMangla Nice distinction.

@ElizabethLinos @AmandaDaflos @brendanbabb Dream team! 🙌

Let the journey begin! #citylab2023

.@BloombergDotOrg is very bullish on the power of good ideas spreading from one city to others. Now we’re launching the Bloomberg Cities Idea Exchange to help the best ideas move at the speed and scale our world requires. More here from @GlennGamboa: apnews.com/article/bloomb…

@jmskibsted @DanielHenningLA Echo that!

@DanielHenningLA Congrats! And thanks for recording @christianbason & my book audiobooks.com/audiobook/expa…

I've recorded my 200th Audiobook!! Wow! I love what I do so much. I am grateful to everyone involved in every one of those books! I hope this quick video will express my gratitude and love to all! #audiobooks #narrator #lovewhatyoudo #gratitude

Past meets future: This design tech conference takes place in the amazing (and huge!) Budapest Train Museum. Here for a panel and keynote address on the future of #design for government and society 🍀 Looking forward! #amuse #techcompass

CuriosityThatMatter first episode: An interview with ⁦⁦⁦@christianbason⁩ of the Danish Design Centre, that delves into our book: Expand: Stretching the future by design & the 6 expansions ⁦⁦@ctm_pod⁩ ⁦#books #innovation #design podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/ctm…

Just one month into the pandemic, Istanbul Mayor @imamoglu_int stood up a mutual aid platform to help residents help each other pay bills. Today, “Askida Fatura”has spread to 40+ other Turkish cities. Of course, they won ⁦@BloombergDotOrg⁩’s global #MayorsChallenge.

@KlyngeC @forsvaretdk Where do you buy tickets? 😅

It’s a tradition frowned upon by most of my friends 😂, but hey, no way I am not doing this: On this exact day 5 years ago I had an experience of a lifetime. I could do it every day! Forever grateful to Fighter Wing Skrydstrup 🤜🤛

@snowded @HelenBevan @ideo So very much agree with you, @snowded

@HelenBevan @ideo To amplify that we need to shift from thinking about designing solutions by going through the stages identified in the link to creating eco systems with the ability to create solutions in context.

Design thinking is valuable for health & care improvement because it helps us understand how people think, behave & act when facing a problem. Strategic frameworks assist us to make choices about where to focus. Seven of the best design thinking & strategy frameworks from @ideo: 1) Design thinking process 2) Elements of design thinking 3) Strategy process map 4) Types of strategy stakeholder 5) Strategy action plans 6) Iceberg model 7) Systems map: bootcamp.uxdesign.cc/ideo-best-desi… By AI Alex on @Medium

@BrennanKate @designcentret @camerontw @research_la @SydneyPolicyLab @syd_designlab Such a pleasure! 👏

A joy to host @christianbason (@designcentret) with @camerontw and @research_la today @SydneyPolicyLab @syd_designlab. So interesting to discuss relationships between universities and communities in Denmark and Australia and the use of design to create policy impact.

@MicheleZanini @Tesla Great comparison. However in private I think they realized the challenge earlier. I attended Ms. Merkels international innovation summit in 2015 and recall how German automakers even then were starting to worry…

German automakers' view of @Tesla: 2015 = joke, 2021 = genius. Denial, meet irony--it's electric!

@rainerkattel Wow! Well done — congrats! 👏

@holagianduran Thanks for sharing, Gian. I wonder if you have encountered some radically different recruitment practices along the way? As an example at the @designcentret we have experimented with a different process that we believe is more human centered: ddc.dk/how-to-hire-hu…

Do innovation/design orgs consider users in their recruitment processes? My modest opinion on how to design user-friendly job interviews for a positive applicant experience. This post covers essential considerations based on my recent experience. @gianncarloduran/designing-user-friendly-job-interviews-creating-a-positive-applicant-experience-f5f7412b676f" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">medium.com/@gianncarlodur…

@PiaAhrenkilde @EU_Commission Indeed! 👏

@christianbason @EU_Commission A million 🙏 @christianbason. More exciting times ahead indeed, with new opportunities to apply precious leadership insights, I am sure! 😉

🇪🇺Honoured to be appointed to steer DG EAC - with its vast policy remit with citizens at its heart - into the future. Date to follow soon. Immensely proud of achievements in DG COMM over +4 momentous years leading @EU_Commission’s work on communication and citizens’ engagement!
