This brief assists that process, focusing on the Arlington site. It should be read in conjunction with a Planning Brief for the Dreamland Site approved by Council in February 2008. This brief has been prepared at the request of the Margate Renewal Board (25th April 2008), Thanet District Council’s Cabinet, (12 December 2007) and Council (21st February 2008). The brief establishes development principles applicable to the Arlington site located to the south of Margate Sands and Marine Terrace, to the east of All Saints Avenue. The site comprises a major landmark within the town and Margate seafront whose refurbishment and redevelopment form a key element of regeneration aspirations for Margate seafront.

    Meaning - an Unexplored Path of Innovation

    Meaning - An Unexplored Path of Innovation Åsa Öberg1* and Roberto Verganti2 Department of Information Design, Mälardalen University, Sweden1 School of Management, Politecnico di Milano, Italy1,2 [email protected], [email protected] *Corresponding Author Received 27 August 2014; received in revised form 30 November 2014; accepted 9 December 2014 Abstract Over the last ten years, the practice and research around innovation has been dominated by one perspective: innovation is an activity of “creative problem solving”. According to this per- spective, users have problems or needs, and innovation implies an understanding of those problems and the creation of better ideas to solve them (Kelley, 2001, Chesbrough, 2003, Brown, 2009, Martin, 2009). There is, however, a level of innovation that has been overlooked: the level of meaning. People are continuously searching for meaning. Whenever they do something in life, there is a meaning behind that action, a purpose, and a “why”. They also use products and services that support this search for meaning. For example, they use fast robots with the purpose of improving the productivity of a process. Firms often assume that meanings exist “out there” in the market. They just have to be understood, not innovated. Therefore, they search for new solutions, a new “how”, to serve this existing purpose better: a faster robot, for example. However, people are not only searching for new solutions to existing problems. They are also searching for new meanings because their life keeps changing and because they are delighted by the discovery of new directions. For example, hospitals buy slow robots, such as the DaVinci system, the leading prostatectomy device, not to replace doctors and increase productivity, but to help them in complex operations.

What We Do 3 Ltd., an ISO 9001-2008 certified Member IAAPI company and IAAPI member, started its magnificent voyage in 2010 with Outdoor Market 8 playground equipment under the brand name of BuildIndia. Over the years, we acquired the acclamation as the market leader in this sector by Pedal Go Karts Indoor Soft Play 15 providing various unparalleled designs and setting-up superior children's outdoor playground equipment in public & private parks, residential projects, schools, Soft Play Toys 23 clubs, NGOs, etc. This success has strengthened our perspective and has assisted us for rolling onto the Arcade Games 25 wider platforms of play and the concepts of Family Entertainment Centre (FEC) & Kids Amusement Parks. Funriders will act as the conglomerate company Amusement Rides 31 which will house BUILDINDIA as the forefront firm supplying outdoor playground equipment and the newly christened brands KAPS, which is a blend of Bumper Car 39 multifarious indoor playground equipment and RIDO to rule the streets with its sturdy pedal go-karts series.
