“The End of Theory: The Data Deluge Makes the Scientific Method Obsolete“. A SPOT ON article about what we are facing right now. A reconstruction of what we believe was the answer…
The real challenge, as I see it, is that the more we use the internet and other technologies the more information is created out there, and the more to search. The genius of the few is replaced with crowdsourcing. Its about sense making, its about navigating between simple, complicated, complex and chaotic fields of problems. It’s about the ability to respond on flexible responsive processes.
That is the challenge for individuals, organisations and societies.
Some of us can navigate between, forwards and backwards these problemdomains, other can’t. They don’t know how to respond on the transformation, this paradigm shift. So who are the they who should help creating sense? Economist? Engineers, or maybe designers?

Here a designer’s response to the sense-making call. The Design Dashboard (www.thedesigndashboard.com) is an experiment in trying theory physical. A project just launched by the Institute Without Boundaries, the Dashboard tries to turn a design theory into a physical object. So physical in fact that one of the manifestations is a piece of plastic (which you can download and print out if you have a prototyping machine handy). Perhaps this idea can be applied elsewhere?
