Agile Design and Collaborative Creativity in Web of Things
0 likes664 views
The document discusses agile design and collaborative creativity for socio-technical systems like the Web of Things. It argues that to drive sustainable innovation in these complex, fast-moving systems, an agile design approach is needed that incorporates collaboration through iterative experimental design with stakeholders. Creativity is defined as something that is both novel and useful. The document also discusses the role of participation, noting that it can lead to more sustainability if certain obstacles are mitigated, as it empowers people and revives democracy by opening up solution spaces to more viewpoints and concerns. However, it may be restricted to elites unless specific facilitation is provided, and individualism or tensions between amateurs and experts could still undermine participation's benefits.

- 9. Participation Learning & Knowledge Anyone can now offer courses on anything via online learning platforms. Knowledge is built collaboratively via wikis. Stakeholders involvment (of course!) Participation is about martin.mahaux@unamur.be Represented Stake Areas Interactions Influence on decisions Scope of participation Few Many Few, Indirect Many, Direct Low High Small Large High ParticipationLow Participation RE is a collaboratively creative process, so participation is required at some point. But how far should we take it ? And how does that impact sustainability ? The world is experiencing more and more participation... Journalism Twitter and online medias, as well as media crowd funding is changing the game. Journalism becomes a bidirectional conversation... Health Online health forums are countless. People help each other and take active role in sustaining their health and their peers ones Policy Making Voting is not enough. Citizen's deliberations and panels reinvent the way citizens can help politicians get out of the dead ends... Development Projects Local communities are invited to take active roles development projects that affect them: schools, garbage management and the like are more and more designed by all …from studies and experiments in those fields, we learn that participation can lead to more sustainability... … if obstacles can be mitigated. People are empowered, so more happy, as they have more control over their lives / their work. The democracy is revived by this empowerment. Participation opens up solution spaces, entailing consensus making out of a large spectrum of points of view, allowing for a richer and more informed decision making process. Conflicts are used for nurturing creative problem solving. Consequently, developed solutions match more needs and constraints from more people, including social and environmental concerns, as far as these matter to stakeholders at large. Developed solutions are more accepted in Will this be restricted to a certain elite, more skilled or able to influence others ? Specific facilitation is required to enable a fairly distributed network of influence. The environment has to be Engineering While well known in IT, open source is also permeating hardware: the first open source cars are coming!. Health, Journalism, Development, Learing, Policy Making... When and how does it work ??? (no magic) How to support it ?
