Where I have been

Since few days I’m not as active as in recent times on this blog and here’s why.
Many have probably noticed that, lately, this blog had mostly focused its attention on economic and social issues, on design in the highest sense of the term.

My renewed attention to these kind of issues pushed me to go more in deep in meannig and, that’s probably the reason why, I dedicated the last couple of months to establish an Italian think tank, based in Rome, involved in open innovation and open culture.

Welcome to the Hyper Natural World – A talk with Massimo Scognamiglio, artist and visionary

As the Conceptual Age fades the Meaning Age rises

For years, we filled our brains and the mouths of the transaction between the information age – the era of computerization – and the conceptual age in the hope that this could save western economies from the ultimate nightmare of globalization of work and offshoring. We believed that thanks to our supposed greater ability to design great products, experiences and eventually statuses, we may have succeeded to the threat.

The news is that this is not happening.

Looking at India and its innovation ecosystem.

Did you ever think in deep about India? As a market? As a challenger? By getting to know Indian people, by understanding the passion they put into their jobs, you can understand what India’s ecosystem will be in few years. I asked a little help from my friend Raghav to tell you the story of an emerging country, made of greatly skilled, friendly and smart people.

When We Are – How the Digital Market changes as Society does

No doubt: the world is rapidly changing and our overall development model must find a way to adapt. We’re about to enter a brave new world, made of new paradigms, with a market concept that rapidly merges with society and shares with it common duties.
Are businesses able to intercept these changes? What is required to you and your company to adapt to this changing world without being overwhelmed? What are you required to do to become a more conscious innovation professional?

These are some of the aspects I covered in a recently developed talk that held at my company and I’ve shared on Slideshare: this post is here to help you to understand the talk and the presentation better and eventually to encourage you to share your views with me. Enjoy!
