You can share ideas, dreams, or “what ifs”, but, in the end, experience is built by the interaction with reality- not by thinking about an alternative reality. In this article I would like to share some practical experience on how to temper the fury of over-excited zealots of innovation-through-patterns.]]> http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/23/change2010_06-evolving-patterns/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/20/change2010_03-customer-driven-innovation/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/20/change2010_03-customer-driven-innovation/#comments Mon, 20 Sep 2010 05:00:46 +0000 roberto.lofaro http://localhost/GettingAroundTheWorldPreprint/?p=1437 fourth article, patterns within the consumer electronic industry, used as a case study on applying patterns across industries; therefore, it is assumed that you read the previous articles.

And what happens to the old one? It is dumped somewhere- often in developing countries, while all those “recycling” symbol on boxes that make us feel eco-friendly forget to say where and how it will be recycled.]]> http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/20/change2010_03-customer-driven-innovation/feed/ 1 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/12/patterns-in-communication-online-identities/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/12/patterns-in-communication-online-identities/#comments Sun, 12 Sep 2010 09:43:46 +0000 GettingAroundTheWorld.Net http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/?p=1429 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/09/12/patterns-in-communication-online-identities/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/08/31/change2010-pattern-based-vs-systemic-change/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/08/31/change2010-pattern-based-vs-systemic-change/#comments Tue, 31 Aug 2010 11:58:12 +0000 GettingAroundTheWorld.Net http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/?p=1412 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2010/08/31/change2010-pattern-based-vs-systemic-change/feed/ 0 http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/13/pattern-based-visual-decision-making/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/13/pattern-based-visual-decision-making/#comments Fri, 13 Nov 2009 19:11:35 +0000 roberto.lofaro http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/13/pattern-based-visual-decision-making/ http://www.robertolofaro.com/blog/2009/11/13/pattern-based-visual-decision-making/feed/ 0
