November 30-December 2, 2005
Boston, USA
Organized by DMI and hosted by Massachusetts College
of Art (MassArt) in Boston
Understanding the impact that process, purpose, and context
have on taking ideas from inception to realization to benefit business
and society.
All of the encounters we have with everything from teacups to bulldozers,
from mail delivery to healthcare services, have a profound effect
on our lives in numerous direct and indirect ways, and in shaping
our futures. These encounters can be tangible or intangible, and
delightful or irritating. They can take the form of objects from
manufactured to constructed, from the simply beautiful and inspiring,
to essentially functional and indispensable. Mostly originating
in the business world, these encounters all spring from innovative
ideas that evolve through a process to an end realization.
This Summit will bring together the best and the brightest minds
to examine the scope and depth of empowered innovation in the creation
of innovative products and services. It will examine the role of
purpose, context, and process in successfully taking new ideas from
inception to realization for maximum benefit to business and society.
The Summit will act as a catalyst, focusing on learning from each
other in a very creative context. As registration for the Summit
develops, Web-based interaction and discussions will begin. At the
Summit there will be interactive projects on innovation, lively
discussions and provocative lectures. The emphasis will be on experiential
learning and extensive networking. All participants will be asked
to share their expertise.
All participants will receive a copy of Daniel Pink’s book,
A Whole New Mind, and Professor Stefan Thomke’s
book, Experimentation Matters.
Join business and design leaders who have registered from organizations such as AOL, Kraft, and EMC.
Innovation Blog
DMI has created an Innovation Blog in order to stimulate online discussion and learning around the role of innovation in today's business environment. Topics for discussion will be posted on a weekly basis until the International Summit takes place at the end of November. The blog will feature weekly guest appearances by Summit speakers, and will be edited by Thomas Walton, editor of the DMI Review. We welcome your participation and involvement in this new forum!
