Three-Day Experience Design Workshop Live Report

Through a number of coincidences, I came across Kaospilot, a business school that focuses on design, entrepreneurship, and social innovation and is based in Aarhus/DK. I am really curious to see how this turns out and have decided to experiment with a series of more or less live reports on my experiences.

Being able to devote three full days to a continuing education impulse is a privilege; I’m very grateful and happy about it. Design and the Transformation Economy are on everyone’s lips and there are dozens of providers. This company held a special appeal for me, so we’ll see how things develop over the next three days.

Tuesday: Arrival day. Had an opportunity to take a long walk through Aarhus, from the wide, architecturally modern waterfront at the port to the old town.

Impressions: Far more bicycles than cars or pedestrians. Bicycle businesses are everywhere (new, used, repair, lease, and other bike-related business models).

In the middle of a side street, literally right in the street, there was a Bike Repair & Rest Station – with all the necessary tools, instructions for fixing the most common technical problems, a bicycle lift so repairs can be made in a comfortable position, and benches.
