Breaking The Barriers



During a summer family picnic in 1974, Robbin observes a little league game being played in a nearby baseball field.  Seeing how much fun the game was, and watching the fans cheer for their teams, Robbin asked her dad to teach her to play baseball. As she practiced, over time, Robbin learned that girls were not allowed to play little league baseball with boys. Refusing to give up her dream, Robbin was excited to learn about a famous court case that ruled that same year, that girls were to be allowed to play little league with boys.  The long-standing barrier was finally lifted, and Robbin signed up to play in 1975. A brave and determined Robbin strutted her stuff and showed her community that she could play ball just as well as the boys, on any baseball diamond. Despite encountering jeers, boos, and name-calling from the stands and from the boys, Robbin exceled on the field and played with her head held high for the love of the game.

The Design Thinking Playbook



Design Thinking is a mindset for creative problem solving developed by Larry Leifer, David Kelley and Terry Winograd at Stanford University. The aim of the approach is to bring together as many as possible different experiences and perspectives in respect to a possible problem situation. This approach leads to breakthrough innovations

Design Thinking tries to generate innovationsfrom the intersection of human desirability, economic feasibility and technical feasibility.The focus is on the user and customer needsrespectively. The products, services, processes and business models, etc., are developed in accordance to their needs by the means of an iterative approach.  

The Design Thinking mindset fits well with the demand for agile and flat organizational structures Especially in a world in which the rate of change is steadily increasing. It changes our view of problems, team structures, customers and processes in the development of solutions. Thus, it can help us to drive the digital transformation and to develop superior experiences for our customers.

The Colonel and the Bee



A peculiar explorer and downtrodden acrobat span the globe on a building-sized hot air balloon, in search of a precious artifact and the murderous treasure hunter who seeks it.
Beatrix, a spirited but abused acrobat in a traveling circus, seeks more than her prison-like employment offers. More than anything, she wants to know her place in the world of the halcyon 19th century, a time when the last dark corners of the map were being sketched out and travel still possessed a kind of magic.
One night in Switzerland, the mysterious Colonel James Bacchus attends Beatrix's show. This larger-than-life English gentleman, reputed to have a voracious appetite for female conquests, is most notable for traveling the world in a four-story hot air balloon called The Ox.
Beatrix flees that night to join the Colonel, and the two of them make a narrow escape--Beatrix from her abusive ringleader, the Colonel from a freshly-made cuckold. Beatrix, feeling the Colonel may have the answers to her problems, pledges to help him catch the criminal he seeks in exchange for passage on his magnificent balloon.
The criminal seeks a precious figurine, The Blue Star Sphinx, but he's not alone. The Sphinx's immense value has also drawn the attention of the world's most deadly treasure hunters. A murder in Antwerp begins a path of mystery that leads all the way to the most isolated island on Earth.
What dangers await the Colonel and the acrobat?
