December 16, 2010 In Pursuit of the Perfect Brainstorm By DAVID SEGAL Last month, in a small room on the fifth floor of a high-rise building in San Mateo, Calif., three men sat around a table, thinking. The place was wallpapered with Post-it notes, in a riot of colors, plus column after column of index cards pinned to foam boards. Some of the cards had phrases like “space maximizers” or “stuff trackers” written on them. Many had little three- dimensional ink drawings and titles, like “color-coded Tupperware horizontal stacker.” It looked as if these guys had been locked in and told they couldn’t leave until they dreamed up 1,000 of the wackiest home-storage items they could imagine. Which was pretty much what happened. “We’re in our third month,” said one of the men, Clynton Taylor, “so we’re at about the halfway point.” This was a project room at Jump Associates, a company with 50 employees that comes up with ideas to solve what it calls “highly ambiguous problems.” Exactly what problem was being solved in the room, and which client asked Jump to solve it, the company wouldn’t say.

  • 2007-2008 IDSA Annual Report
    2007-2008 IDSA Annual Report “ ...there is no mistaking the importance of last year’s conference as a launching pad for the immediate past, the present still forming and the near future.” – Michelle Berryman, IDSA President A lifetime often passes before us in far smaller increments of time than we might expect. Looking back at the last 12 months of IDSA activity, our Society appears to have filled at least one lifetime. Maybe even more. We begin, of course, at the cusp of CONNECTING’07, “the design event of a life- time.” In assessing its short- and long-term takeaways, the story of these last 12 months—and the narrative looming for the next 12—begins to unfold. While some IDSA connections existed long before CONNECTING’07 stormed the streets of San Francisco and others developed independent of it, there is no mistaking the importance of last year’s conference as a launching pad for the immediate past, the present still forming and the near future. For one, the world had an opportunity to meet the Society’s then-new Executive Director, Frank Tyneski, IDSA. In his first year on the job, Frank has toured the world on behalf of IDSA, energizing members and nonmembers alike with a new vibrancy while furthering our core purpose of advancing the profession of industrial design through education, information, community and advocacy. He has not op- erated alone in that pursuit, though. In this annual report, we’ll trace the work that IDSA’s Board, staff and international community of volunteers and sponsors have completed to support our mission during the last 12 months.

As a result, many companies have in the first year alone – equivalent to creating a turned to an emerging group of innovation brand the size of Nike every year. Put in terms methodologies. Still highly varied in approach of another popular innovation, GE aimed to and reliability, these toolsets fuse right- and create the equivalent of what was at the time left-brain thinking, often drawing upon four new iPod businesses every year. Clearly, methods from anthropological research, turning GE into an innovation leader is no industrial design and business planning. The easy task. Moreover, it points to the real idea is that if companies discover unmet challenge for business leaders looking to drive customer needs, they can then develop clever new growth on an ongoing basis. Sponsoring and compelling new offerings to help drive one, two, or even several innovation projects growth. Indeed, many of these approaches do probably won’t satisfy the appetite of a large seem to yield repeatable results. Yet most of company. The problem is just too big.
