This weekend we attended the first Leancamp Barcelona, and we really enjoyed it.
Leancamp is an unconference – an open, interactive, multi-track event – which brings together the world’s Lean, Agile and Design-led business leaders, and practitioners from different disciplines. It’s a high-energy day focused on learning and knowledge transfer.
You can download our notes from the event.
Designingwithpeople.org has been created by the Helen Hamlyn Centre for Design at the Royal College of Art to share ways to design with people.
Get started by meeting real people and exploring a range of activities of daily living. On this site you can review design methods, develop protocols for ethical practice and contribute your own ideas.
This set of cards created by by Dan Lockton with David Harrison and Neville A. Stanton offer 101 patterns for influencing behavior through design.
The authors write:
“All design influences our behaviour, but as designers we don’t always consciously consider the power this gives us to help people, (and, sometimes, to manipulate them). There’s a huge opportunity for design for behaviour change to address social and environmental issues where people’s behaviour is important, but as yet little in the way of a guide for designers and other stakeholders, bringing together knowledge and examples from different disciplines, and drawing parallels which can allow concepts to be usefully transposed. The Design with Intent toolkit (the cards and wiki) aims to make a start, however small, on this task”
The Design with Intent Cards are organized in eight groups: architecture, interaction, ludic, perceptual, cognitive, machiavellian, and security.

Introduction to OpenIDEO / OpenIDEO.com from IDEO on Vimeo.
OpenIDEO is a place where people design better, together for social good. It’s an online platform for creative thinkers: the veteran designer and the new guy who just signed on, the critic and the MBA, the active participant and the curious lurker. Together, this makes up the creative guts of OpenIDEO.
To become a place where good ideas gain momentum, OpenIDEO depends on participation — your inspirations, his comments, her concepts, our design process. It’s these efforts, these big and small moments of sharing and collaboration, that make this platform a dynamic resource for tackling significant global challenges.
