Have been advised to seek redressal via Consumer Forum for full refund and damages from @TurkishAirlines. My daughter was charged ₹15300 cancellation for something completely out of her control. Read complete #lockdown#COVID2019. Legal Notice in offing. @BilalEksiTHY 1/
Shall wait till end of day to get confirmation of remittance from @TK_HelpDesk into @Eeshta_ account.

Okay, so in the #designthinking class you learnt #empathy and now you're trying to apply it to a real situation. Stuck? Well there's your issue. It's about cultivating a #mindset, not just using tools. 1/#Empathy is a noun and an abstract one at that. Empathizing is a verb: it's an action word. Action doesn't happen in the head. Which means you have to go out into the real world of real users and not just make things up in the conference room. Sticky notes won't help. 2/

I'm switching my time and effort doing stuff to generate exponential knowledge that cross fertilises domains. Design entrepreneurship for #Socialimpact

The idea is to create knowledge skills and making capabilities, with emerging Exponential technologies intersecting smart devices, cloud computing, Artificial Intelligence, nanotechnology, robotics to create products and services that leverage the democratic power of tech. 2/

The challenges we face today are the outcome of skewed priorities. Profit first. Profit only. Pushing people and technology into squeezing efficiencies regardless of need our side effects. Short-term gains over sustainable practices. Thinking for over thinking through. 1/
Education systems, governance structures, work practices, ... everything focused on "smart" solutions for quick returns and for "speed & scale" which most of us talk about but hardly understand. Why scale? What to scale? The 'HOW' traps us into believing that it's progress. 2/

1/ The world is changing right in front of us; never before has change been as palpable. Most if it is being driven by technology which seems to be disrupting each and every domain. The obsession with technology driving progress to the exclusion of everything else is a bane.
2/ While it isn't a good idea to ignore technology, especially those that actually improve human life and condition, including those that make decisions faster and more accurate and those that make life safer and longer, one-sided technology growth will do more harm than good.

1/ Organisations need generalist advisers who are not attached to their experience and expertise. Fresh eyes + deep understanding of individuals across cultural divides will mark emerging consulting paradigms. This will put pressure on business schools.
2/ In the words of @davidsrose "All companies designed to succeed in the 20th century are doomed to fail in the 21st century."
Several reasons -
The new world is digital. The new generation is digital. Change is on an accelerating curve. Learning is not. #futureofwork

1/ The rebuilding of Japan post the horrific atom bomb, fuelled the design philosophy to create a disposable culture. India however, remained largely unaffected. (Exception: City culture is homogenous worldwide) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Throw-awa…2/ India context— Reuse is seen everywhere. Repair and recycle continues to be the norm. "Wasting" is a foreign sensibility and throwing away things doesn't come naturally. The feel-good of keeping old stuff is deeply embedded in the collective consciousness.
