“…Besides, all team members take part in the creative process from the very beginning until the end -developers do not receive ready-made requirements from others, taking part in the making of the product concept, being able to innovate. This follows suggestions from [16]. The following subsections explain what is done in each phase:…”

Abstract. This paper describes a project management model named Converge, that combines Agile, Lean Startup and Design Thinking with the aim of producing user-centered software and sustainable innovation through empathy with users. The model is based on previous works combining the aforementioned methodologies and adjusted considering needs that arose from teams inside the lab, observed empirically. In order to test the method's validity in a real project, an undergraduate team part of an experimentation lab followed the proposed model to guide the development of a homonymous data storage app.The app was built in 8 weeks and, at the time of release, 80 % of testers considered it a better solution compared to ones they already used. Overall test results suggest that it is productive to combine the methodologies. The model met its aim since it guided the development of a novel software solution highly regarded by users.

“…To identify challenges especially in acquiring appropriate information to support service oriented solution, we conducted a process innovation activity using design thinking (DT) methodology [12] with an affiliate manufacturing company for turbine engines, propulsion and energy systems. DT is a method or learning strategy to gather knowledge, perspectives and problems from multiple sources and match it with what is technologically feasible [12].…”

Manufacturers across the globe are transforming from product suppliers to service providers. They face numerous challenges, in particular the staggering amount of heterogeneous information generated out of a growing number of functional or operational silos, which often lead to redundancies and conflicts that compromise system efficiency. In this paper, we look into the problems and opportunities of high value component manufacturers on their change initiative towards higher level service provisioning. The need for lean and flexible information management is discussed to accommodate future technology inclusions. A preliminary approach of cost and benefit analysis which incorporate two novel leanness measurements, is proposed to assist manufacturers in this industry to get the best out of the investment. More focused study shall be reported along the journey of joint exploration.

“…Institutes like the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design (d.school) at Stanford University teach design thinking for a wide range of realworld problems (Dunne & Martin, 2006;Plattner et al, 2011). The framework has been applied in management education (Zupan, Svetina Nabergoj, Stritar, & Drnovšek, 2013), information and communications technology (Lindberg, Meinel, & Wagner, 2011), medicine (McDonagh & Thomas, 2010, social entrepreneurship (Cohen, 2012), and K-12 education (Carroll et al, 2010).…”
