“Innovation” is often sorted into the field of “designers”, “engineers” or “management personnels”. As a matter of fact, it concerns every single member that takes part in an organization. Each can (and should,) find their “role” as a creative thinker... Yet, we were not encouraged to this type of Design Thinking in our education. Today, G!Voice wishes to introduce some simple methods that will help you “think outside the box” (Grin).  1. Be used to doing things you aren’t used to Everyone is used to sticking to things and procedures that they are familiar with (of course...). However, these “habits”

Apple, the brand that I cannot get through a single day without. I believe there are a lot of people out there that, like me, fill their day between iPhones, iPads and Macbooks. As if they really are that busy. Seriously, is it that “We own machines? Or do the machines own us?” This kind of talk will forever be an on-going debate, yet just very recently, I figured out what purpose each of these serve in my daily life, and I’m back in control once again!   Its starts from iPhone 3G People might think that I was

Career and life can be compared to playing games, the stronger you become, the higher stage you could reach! However, one shouldn’t sacrifice happiness for achievements. Family shouldn’t be the price to pay for success!  Universum releases the global talent attraction index: “The World’s Most Attractive Employers 2011”, Google, Microsoft and Apple are among the top 10 list. The reason Google is ranked at no.1 is because of its innovative work culture, great work ambianace and handsome bonus and benefits. Another report from the latest news says that the United Nation consigned Columbia University to research on World Happiness

Can a simple bottle be an instrument too? Although all we learn from physics class tell us otherwise, nothing is impossible in the minds of creative designers. Tama Art University student Fujiwara Jun came up with a design known as “Re:  Sound Bottle”, a system that collects sounds into a glass jar containing complex wires. This device records any sound automatically and converts it into beatbox music by popping the lid. The sounds are a bit disjointed, but you can’t stop bobbing your head to it!  Sounds you encounter on a daily basis, such as: Clapping, chatting, or snapping

“Thinking!” This paradoxically simple yet deep concept effects the smallest establishment of a humble shop, to the great history of human civilization. However. . . How do you define the act of thinking? Should it be as heavy as Rodin’s Le Penseur, or as light as an innocent child, wrinkling brows?   In fact, the only rule you need to have in a brainstorming session is that, there are no rules! The process of inspirational thinking should be the act of “emptying your brain” and connecting everything that pours out of your mind at the moment. Just freely associate

G-Voice Recommends: Change by Design: How Design Thinking Transforms Organizations and Inspires Innovation By Tim Brown This is not a book just for designers, but rather, it is a how-to manual about thinking and living with a creative mindset. It introduces design thinking seamlessly into life, organizations, products and service, and serves as a breath of fresh air for social outlook and corporate strategies.   Sit back as the CEO of IDEO, Tim Brown, takes readers on a journey to explore the world of design thinking. Design not only concerns visual appeal and polishing surroundings. It is more about

Looking back to what users want How does a good idea stand out among others in the sea of inspiration? We need to ask ourselves. . . Where does the problem lie, exactly?        “The Question is always inside us” That fact is, we need a “user-oriented, innovative, interactive and practical method to figure out the best concept and ultimate plan”. That is the heart of Design Thinking: humanity. Through observation and key interviews, the problem can be truly pinpointed and tackled with; that is the spirit of what ideas are all about. For example, one of IDEO’s past

G! VOICE Introduces: Everyone has heard about “design thinking”, but what is this idea really about? How does one “think creatively”? Can “design thinking” really solve problems? Four inspiring Taiwan youths visited the most successful innovative companies in the US (IDEO, Coca Cola, Autodesk, Stanford... etc) to make a documentary on how people come up with “design thinking”. This film objectively illustrates how different industries come up unique ways to tackle human need, behavior and way of thinking. Their solutions apply to corporations as well as social problems. This following video would allow gamanians to “design and think” from
