RMV 12 Ela Ben Ur: You Can Design An Intuitive Compass

Have you ever wanted a fast and reliable way to make changes in
your life? In our newest episode of Results May Vary, we orient
ourselves with Ela Ben Ur and her Innovators' Compass, a simple
tool that allows you to take swift action on any opportunity or
challenge you're facing.  As Ela describes it: "The Compass
orients us to the powerful directions we stretch in different
practices of “innovation” and intuition—from personal learning and
reflection practices to organizational processes like design
thinking and agile development.   It works over months or in
just seconds—on a whiteboard, digital document, scrap of paper, in
conversation or in our mind, alone or with others. It’s in use
from schools to businesses. As a compass, it helps us see ways
we can explore in different settings; it doesn't give us a map or
route—we create our own maps of our challenges as we go." How can
you use Ela's experience and Innovators' Compass as inspiration to
design your own life and increase your creative confidence? Listen

philosopher Nelson Goodman in 1967 to study and improve education
in the arts. Goodman believed that arts learning should be studied
as a serious cognitive activity, but that "zero" had yet been
firmly established about the field. John Maeda's definition of
Design Thinking: "It's the capacity to think that a better idea
could exists, and possessing the tools to imagine what that is.
Instead of focusing on fixing existing problems, conceive an ideal
endpoint and work creatively to get there." Field Guide: The Design
