I think he talked about the possibility of a creative leadership model as opposed to the traditional ones. "Innovation = Art + Design" I think that's his point. i. e. Innovation involves both technology and leadership, but innovation --as I understood he said one way or another-- is all about combining provocative artistic view points with what makes a good design. And that's all that really "jazz". A new tech shouldn't have any value just because it's new, just as an only old antique nothing.

Me deja pensando en muchas cosas, pero, la más relevante es el poder del maestro, el poder de condicionamiento, que tenemos desde nuestro discurso: "X es bueno para esto o lo otro, malo para aquello", ¿Qué hacemos los maestros con todo el poder que tenemos? Muy bueno, más que conceptos deja cuestionamientos, y es como dice, el arte no se debe entender... Esta enseñanza no es para responder sino para preguntar y preguntarse... Gracias.

@XaphianYT 11 жыл бұрын

the ideas he speaks of and what you refer to are different. Someone stepping in and telling you exactly how to do whatever it is you are doing is micromanaging. His ideas are for leaders to develop themselves in a way to manage their business without doing this. Also, I'd like to point out: "I need to be left alone to accomplish my best work." This is exactly what a creative leader should be doing. :)

He seems to be advocating more micomanaging. Personally, I perform MUCH worse when I know someone is monitoring me, and may step in at any moment. I just get nervous; I need to be left alone to accomplish my best work.

What's so bad about the lecture material? He didn't drive home is overall point, which apparently left some of you aimless and confused, but the point is that technology (as an extension of our biological limits) is developing at an exponential rate and that it needs to be re-evaluated in order for innovation to continue at the accelerated pace (because we're getting to repetitious). Being conditioned to appreciate 'art' is a big part of this new 'paradigm' of innovation.

The only real substance for the talk was in the last two minutes. The rest was the speaker showing off previous work. If he had gone more into about how technology and design were going to change people's lives that would have been one thing. However, he got caught up in process. Which, for the record, is a problem common at RISD. Process is interesting but not important.
