It's our lucky pod! Number seven is here! This one has a heavy and roll + pop star theme running through it, as well as an Oprah Winfrey reference which will surprise and delight. We guarantee! We crank up this week's venture design fiesta with an update on IDEO U (our new online learning platform) and the launch of its beta. We're learning a lot, and trying to practice what we preach. Spoiler alert! Justin Bieber is following IDEO Futures on Twitter. Joe and I discuss this supernatural occurrence with IDEO's own Piper Loyd. How might you use Twitter to grow and develop your new venture? From a venture design point of view, there's a bunch to learn about how and why it came to be that this great Canadian is now our follower. Joe and I also discuss two things which recently blew our venture design minds, Better All the Time by James Surowiecki, and a new video from OK Go. Along the way we talk about incentives and organizational structures, and how those fit into the innovation equation. From that point of view, it's really interesting to figure out why things like the UNI-CUB pop out of a place like Honda and not out of other similar (at least on paper) corporate entities. ------------------------------------------------------ Music: "Jimmy H.
