Ærø & Our Emergent World

In today’s session about innovation and our emergent world, we mentioned one of the Danish Baltic Sea islands, Aero, because of its technologies in energy generation so I thought it might be interesting to share these photos with you. 
I visited Aero last summer, and it is a truly charming island with beautiful natural scenery and remarkable picturesque houses. Although its inhabitants sum up to a rough total of 7,000 people, I barely saw anyone there under the age of 60! Yet, Aero remains serious about being environmental friendly and has the world’s largest solar power plants aiming to make the island completely self-sufficient in energy. Today, all of Denmark is following Aero's lead.
If innovation adaptation is not simply technology dependent but also socially dependent, then way to go people of Aero! 

BoP Protocol & Design related concepts

D4SB Concepts to BoP Protocol

View more presentations from Oscar Pozuelos.

As you all might already know, we had this assignment due for last week.

In brief we discussed what we had read the 2nd BoP Protocol (Simani, E. & S. Hart) as well as the article on Theory Construction on design research: approaches, and methods (K. Friedman).

We tried to create some common ground for both Design and Social Business in order to find what we thought were the difference and similarities between the two. Once we had this common ground we tried to apply concepts given in class (concepts like future, opportunity, resorces, solution, etc.) to the 2nd BoP Protocol process overview (pyramid).

We still it might need a revision, so I post it here in order for you to have it so we can discuss it later and create a more complete and rich presentation.

Cheers!
