Got to meet Tom Kelley.
His talk was great.
Focused on three of the ten roles of innovation.
His biggest focus was on his favourite face/role of innovation, the anthropologist.
check out this blog with relation to the idea.
Asked him what he thought about practice based design, and its shortcomings, with evolving the education system.
We had a great little chat and he provided me with some links to follow.
Said that "we're on the same wavelength."
His company, IDEO, is a strength in the world market and looks like a wonderful place to contribute to society through.
Tom linked me to the D.School, a program at Stanford, and was very encouraging with my aspirations in teaching.
His brother, Dave Kelley, heads up the Stanford program and is definitely someone worth meeting.
My post-op style was a conversation starter and provided me with a chance meeting with a very bright woman, Madelaine Kelley.
She's very excited in my small group teaching concept and is looking forward to the opportunity to discuss and share ideas.
I am looking forward to next year's Smart Night.
What a great evening it was!
