business model innovation design we're on a road to nowhere // on a quest to analyze and explore the design of business model innovations, i.e. 'hideous and hidden things' like organizational structures and capabilities, corporate strategies and all things related // on a yellow brick road with a girl, a lion and a straw-man wasting our time // …

The Danes, they get the spirit of design, think CPH127, now this:180academy, an academy where they train Concept Makers ™ …

… who have the ability to develop, design and execute radical business concepts.

This sides perfectly with my BMID-oriented thinking, giving it another nice twist, like when they focus on the people aspects (anthropological design and “Gestaltung” issues will follow, I suppose ):

Traditionally innovation has been technology driven. At 180°academy we believe in people-driven innovation, enabling our students to understand innovation from the point of view of everyday people.
Accepting this fact, 180°academy turns the traditional approach to innovation around.

We want to revolutionize traditional education by merging together students with different competences and thinking styles in a praxis-oriented learning environment.
