I use a simple structure to design: before, during, and after. I also keep in mind dips in the circadian rhythms for humans that have impact on their ability to pay attention and learn – and I design different types of activities accordingly. The learning model is called “SAVI ” : Moving and doing (Somatic).

In my experience, innovation is about flexibility, capacity, and collaborative relationships. Now the teen arts council model is no longer considered innovative. This would be a model for the new way we were going to work with artists and audiences. You need a balance between structure and openness to make all of this possible.

So, I guess the only change I have seen in the last few years is that some people are paying attention to it. The people who are paying attention are the techies.

There are four different models of crowdsourcing activities: wisdom, creation, voting, and funding. There’s isn’t one best way to do it – and many organizations use a combination of these models to meet their objectives.

We also are practical, and agile, and collaborative. So things like asking, will the organization be providing computers and mobile devices for all staff, or would there be a hybrid model where some staff would have organization-issued computers and other staff would have to rely on their personal devices?
