Hi Ricardo, We have been invited by NJC to give the talk on Design Thinking during the Singapore International Science Challenge. The session will be
on 4 July 2013 from 10am to 11am. I am wondering if you will do the honour of giving this talk to the students?

Patterns and trends on what millions of people searchsometimes tell us something…

Some keywords show us what people value or want to know more about

Big data can reveal priorities, interests and perceptions

Big data can confirm our intuitions and observations

It’s not easy or trivial to interpret these aggregate numbers…

Back to the main topic of this talk:Why should we search for, discuss and engage in design?
![Page 17: Not Design Thinking](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55564daad8b42aa41e8b4b8f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

“… this rate of change will need to be matched with mindsetand paradigm changes in order for us to maintain our ability to innovate, and to create new value.
It is no longer business as usual. We are already facing increasing global competition in the new ideas-driven creative economy…
Design must become the critical strategic tool for futureproofing Singapore from the uncertainties of the future.”

Ok, it is important, but what is design?
![Page 20: Not Design Thinking](https://reader033.vdocuments.mx/reader033/viewer/2022060109/55564daad8b42aa41e8b4b8f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Bruce Archer (1960s)
“The practice of design is a very
complicated business, involving
contrasting skills and a wide field of
disciplines. It has always required
an odd kind of hybrid to carry it
successfully”
Engineer, Professor of Design Research atthe Royal College of Art
Bruce Nussbaum (2010s)
“Design Thinking is beginning to ossify and actually do harm, in order to appeal to the business
culture of process, it was denuded of the mess, the conflict, failure, emotions, and looping circularity
that is part and parcel of the creative process”
Economist, Professor of Innovation and Design at Parsons The New School for Design

How to understand and excel in something that experts refer to:
“complicated, odd, mess, conflict, failure, emotions, looping circularity”?

My goal here today is simple:
To get you (more) interested in design, creativity and innovation
(And I will attempt to do this without eye-candy)

Ok, what about more concrete evidence, such as an analysis of the contents of one million books published in the last one-hundred years?

Let’s talk about design
(thinking, doing and feeling)

If facing uncertainty and ambiguity is not enough…
