Hi - I’m Alex, a humanist, globalist, technologist and business model designer (http://www.BusinessModelDesign.com ). I’ve been interested in the intersection of design and business for quite some time now and particularly focus on business model design. I come from academia but have drifted towards practice. Under crafting business models I understand the art of designing the building blocks of a business model to fit and reinforce each other in order to generate sustainable revenue streams. Besides consulting for businesses I currently work on the implementation of a business model of a global nonprofit organization I co-founded (http://www.aidscompetence.org ). I live in Chiang Mai, Thailand and regularly blog on business model design (http://business-model-design.blogspot.com ).

Keep up the good word/work!

I am David Crow. I have been trying to kick-start the collaboration between development, business and UX communities in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Much of what we think of as innovation is the creative tension between differing viewpoints. We are building a local community to find these different viewpoints. CPH127 is a great starting point and came recommended by friends Jess McMullin http://bplusd.org/ and Steve Portigal http://portigal.com/ .

I’m Johan Bonner, ex-designer, ex-product manager, ex-business develpment manager for Samsonite Europea and recently started my own company in Ghent (Belgium). We help Flemisch companies to innovate better.
I follow about 10 blogs on design, innovation and strategy.

I am Naina Redhu - logo/corporate identity designer and photographer from Mumbai, India. Your blog is one of my favorites because it combines my favorite subjects - design and innovation! I also love to network online - lets get connected on LinkedIn and/or openBC!

Cheers!

Hi Gautam,

Just curious, what is “OD” as you mention in your comment?

Best,
Niti

I’m Binoy-Milton, a Technical Writer, who works alternately between Bombay and Pune. I’m interested in UX, Usability and Information Design. I’ve been on this site for about an hour, and think I’m going to be visiting more often:).

I am Arvind Lodaya, an industrial/strategic designer and also faculty at Srishti School of Art, Design & Technology (http://www.srishtiblr.org) in Bangalore, India.
Besides teaching and practice, I am undertaking a massive long-term project to contemporize and future-ready design education… for India. (You do realize that when it’s contextualised “for India”, all sorts of concerns and contradictions arise.)
I’d welcome your involvement through sharing how you make sense of (your own) education, practice and the future.

nearly 20 days late, Niti, but OD stands for “Organisational Development”!

Arvind,

then I encourage you to click on “Runways” on the top bar and see if you’d be interested in continuing our discussion there on global design education - if so do let us know, I’m sure that hans henrik would be happy to invite you.

Ah, thanks - I’ve only ever heard of “OD = overdose” as in heroin and Jim Morrison et al.
