Foghorn: Sounding off on Innovation

Innovation: Foghorn

One of my professors at the IIT Institute of Design who is a founder of Gravity Tank, and prodigy of product design has started a blog with his partner called “Foghorn:  Sounding off on Innovation“.

Chris is insightful and an exceptional facilitator of innovation workshops.

As he mentions in his blog, I am really looking forward to conducting a design charrette with a client that I am working for who is looking to create sustainable energy solutions for the Chinese rural and peri-urban household.

Although I am familiar with conducting product-oriented workshops or 1 day charrettes,  I’ve never tried a service or product/service combo.   I have a strong conviction that it is possible, depending on the materials and team’s collective imagination.   I am excited that I’m working with a multi-disciplinary team too.  It’s almost like having a team of Foundation students at ID with interesting experiences to bring to bear on solving a problem.
I will post a debrief following the workshop to let everyone know how it went. In the meantime, have your fill of all things innovative over at the Foghorn.
