Participants: I like the concept of using a competition. Given that the six hats has been taught in many schools around the world,…"
William Jack Jordan replied to Diane Yeldon's discussion Creative Group in the group Creative Team"I would like to see more threads in the create group. e.g. One for ideas for recruiting participants. (I'm not sure how to start a thread here.) Other threads could be how to market, would will get paid, also how would process work.
One idea…"

In dealing with business owners who are just starting out, my experience has been being the first designer in charge of creating their first "image" for their business. I was their sign painter, often the finishing touch before…"
Paul Wythe replied to Diane Yeldon's discussion Creative Group in the group Creative Team"Share ware, on-line collaboration where software is improved by many programmers often working for free. So I guess the issue is what would motivate others to be interested and give of their time. There are social web sites, and even bespoke social…"
Diane Yeldon replied to Diane Yeldon's discussion Creative Group in the group Creative Team"I don't think we have enough creative problem solvers interested in participating yet. How to get more? What about a case study competition? I wouldn't like to have to figure out how to set it up and provide incentives for entry though."

How would one market the service? Would one intend to get paid? Do we believe we have over come objections to the process of being outsiders providing…"

Paul Wythe replied to Diane Yeldon's discussion Creative Group in the group Creative Team"Hi guys. Very interesting discussion. The hardest part of any organisation is to introduce new ideas and change. Abuse rarely works in getting people to solve problems.

Did you ever see the TV show Ramsey, the guy who visits restaraunts who aren't doing so well and abuses them? I guess he didn't need tact, because they were…"
Diane Yeldon replied to Diane Yeldon's discussion Creative Group in the group Creative Team"Hi, yeah, I think you have got something testable there. I really like "a programmer does what he thinks the client thinks he has told him." Hah!
