Design Thinking Dallas: Doors to Meaningful Innovation by Chris Bernard

This is a talk I gave in Dallas in October of 2007. It covers a lot of the territory I cover with other talks and I've reposted the presentation in a downloadable format. It's kind of a collection of my all-up views and thinking on design and innovation.

Again, some of it won't make sense without the words and I'm working on a ScreenCast of the presentation.

Is there another design trinity we need to pay attention to?

So, my UXe peer and I almost beat to death the idea of the trinity that we must all bow down to.

You'll also proably heard me talk about perhaps a fourth circle that needs to exist there too, one focused on community. I'm wondering if sustainability needs to be in there too. So statements around..."What is benefical for the community" and "What is sustainable for our environment." Hmmm.
